I am super happy that you put Shipwreck Arcana on the list. I fully agree with this one! My GF and I play on doomed difficulty all the time and see how many times we can get around the board....it turns more into mind reading for us :P Zee, you might want to try out Mad Love as well. it's another small game....specifically for 2 players....another cooperative deduction game in which you can't talk :)
so I'd choose (in no particular order) : -Photosynthesis - You feel really smart when you manage to block the light for someone for a turn (though it's kinda bound to happen) or if you manage to get the tree in the middle and stuff, and there is probably a point you feel clever about at least a turn or two, like one game it really looked bad for me, I hardly got any sun points but then after the second sun-turn my stategy started kicking in and I finally got so much sun energy and and stuff, won in the end, felt SO SMART! -Dice Wars: when you manage to foresee a move of an opponent and just get a really cool combination out. such a good feeling.

Sam's number 10! I had a similar experience when introducing two friends to Splendor. A guy joined as the fourth player and through the duration of the game he kept commenting on how he was going to win. Once my friends caught on I made it a point to defeat him. I won decisively. The look on his face...
Tom, you genuinely need to get Gloomhaven to the table for Sam and Zee again. Make it "ez mode" if you need to, but have them experience the smurt way of playing.
Another great Top 10 by the mighty Dice Tower … great job! You guys remind me to take time to laugh. My only negative is that I wish when doing a TOP 10 that all games chosen are, or have been, available in retail.. I got so excited about Awkward Guests and then found out it was offered in an expired Kickstarter. Bummer, that games looks awesome.
NMBR9 is a good one! Sometimes it just fits together perfectly, and you look around the table and everyone else is throwing up their hands in futility.
With the redesigned cards for Awkward Guests in the new version being developed, I wonder if the more obvious clues will take away from the "Smart" feeling? They show you exactly what to cross out now instead of leaving you go figure it out, like what a "blunt weapon" refers to in the example card Tom shows @ 1:07:00.
Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. In inductive reasoning, the conclusion is reached by generalizing or extrapolating from specific cases to general rules.
Neuroshima Hex when you pull off that amazing board clear becuase you placed everything to take out the other players units befor their plan can go off.
@@KC2Sunshine Really? Haven't played it in a while, but it never felt broken to me (although since I live in Quebec, Canada, I don't have the American map).
@@andregulluni1043 Yeah , in the US map the territories get more expensive as you go further west and if you are playing more than 2 player, the 3rd and 4th players often feel like they are starting with a major disadvantage since the east coast connection fees are much cheaper and are closer together. That's his reasoning at least.
You should do a Top 10 X-Factors in games. Things in games that will make you more likely to like a game. Things that aren't necessarily mechanisms but that make a game pop for you. I think of things like Combos in games, where when one action triggers a bonus action which triggers another bonus action, that triggers bonus points. Or procedural games, where actions follow a very procedural order which makes the rules easy to follow. Maybe it's too close to mechanisms idk.
What about X-Wing ? Anticipating and outmaneuvering your opponent makes you feel smart. Especially since they scaled down the bloat a bit for 2nd edition.
I'm surprised Zee didn't sneak in Pandemic. It's definitely a game that kicks your booty early on, but then you get better and better and feel smurter. Legacy Season 2 would be the one that makes you feel the smurtest because, unlike in Season 1, you have the ability to improve your situation for future games. So in those future games you can benefit from something you did and feel so smurt that you foresaw that.
Re: Volume. It is too low on this video, but was just fine on BGB today (I compared them back-to-back). I hope the feedback helps, if there is something different you are doing on your end.
Alec Galbraith You understand that with the maximum volume on our devices it is still too low, right? Anyone "smurt" enough to play a board game certainly has figured out how to work a volume button.
I have noticed this as well. I just listened to Dice Tower Tonight, and it is plenty loud, as are the podcasts, but the in-studio segments are too quiet for me to turn on my iPad and do stuff around the apartment.
Great list! My one suggestion? If you're going to do it live, be live! After the three of you have gone over your choice for each given position, read off a comment or two. Don't wait until the end to shoehorn comments in. Unless there just weren't any interesting comments to read off. If that was the case, carry on!
It reminds me of something John Cleese said, watching people do silly things is amusing but watching someone who is watching someone else do something silly is hilarious. 😄 It’s Sam’s disapproving looks that made it really funny.
OMG!! Zee finally pronounced Hanabi closer to the correct pronunciation... and they made fun of him and corrected him to the bad pronunciation!!! It grates on me every time someone says Huh-NAW-bee!!
I am a big fan of Mr Jack... how is it not deduction? Yes, you are essentially doing a binary search (move people into position where half the remaining people are revealed) but you crossing buckets of people off a list to deduce the final culprit...
@@ashesanddiamonds2692 Potentially, but not necessarily. Tom's used the word haberdashery to refer to hat sellers before so I thought I'd point out that's not what the word means.
dt has not changed, you have. Sam never had any energy or logic with his stuff. Tom is always tom. And zee.. zee is nothing like Jason. Zee is cool as always. They are doing the exact same thing for several years, play games and reviews... maybe that get boring at some point? Maybe they are getting old and grumpy? i dont know, i just watch and enjoy and move to the next thing. I never enjoyed Sam. And for a long time i did not care about Zee, now Zee is probably my favorite fictional character of the dice tower.
I don't think they have changed that much, and I have watched DT videos from multiple years in a short time frame, since I just recently picked up the hobby. Sam has always been more subdued than Tom or Zee, and he does quite well on his individual segments. He doesn't owe viewers any explanation. I agree that Tom and Zee are a little goofier, but some people might like that. I mean, how do you spice up a top 10 list after doing over a hundred of them? I haven't seen a video with Jason in quite some time. He has a job elsewhere, so his involvement with the DT is limited. One change I have seen is the inclusion of more women: yay Crystal, Suzanne, and Mandi!
I've watched since the beginning (not so much with the podcast, buy rly once he started doing video reviews). A few months ago, I was the one defending Sam's low energy (who knows, maybe something is going on in his personal life). I was also the one saying DT is as good as ever. However, I really understood what those critics were talking about in this video. Hopefully it's a one time thing. @RyuSora: Yes DT has changed. It used to be basically a single man operation. Now they run conventions, have a much bigger staff, and make so many vids that they have to come out with nonsense like this one. @C.W. Sam used to be cracking tons of jokes and was involved in the conversation. Sure, he made lots of silly jokes/comments, but that's what people liked about him. These last few months he just sits there staring at his clipboard, or twirling his pen. Idk, maybe he's just feeling older lately? Zee is still Zee, and most of the time Tom is still Tom, but hes just such wackier now that it gets annoying sometimes. Jason hasn't been on THIS show for a couple of weeks, but they still mention him. I don't watch his channel, or his shows, but I'm sure they'll have another marathon soon. And as far as the women are concerned: I don't care that they have female reviewers, but I never found myself wishing "oh, only if DT had female reviewers". I actually dont watch their shows, bc they just aren't very enjoyable during gaming sessions or panel productions. Furthermore, they now have like just as many female reviewers as male here. Why? Board gaming is like a 90% male hobby. I'm not saying it has to stay that way (I sure love playing games with my gf), but why have this forced over-representation?
@@BinaryBard64 Just a thought on the "over-representation" of females doing game reviews related to females who actually play board games. Maybe this is being done thinking if they have more females doing game reviews, etc., that more females will start playing board games. There are several female reviewers I don't watch because I don't like their segments or the topics (and there are men reviewers that I don't watch for the same reasons).
@@PamWD I agree with your statement, but I don't think there is "over-representation" because most of the DT content, especially the videos, is still Tom, Zee, or Sam. The women still have other jobs, so contribute in their "free" time. Actually, I don't necessarily have the same tastes as the female contributors, but I do like to hear other opinions and experiences of playing board games. There is so much content now that people can find what resonates with them, which is great.
I believe the Spice Girls sang, 'If you Hanabi my lover ...'
underrated comment.
When I saw the notification, I thought it said top 10 games that make you feel like a Smurf and I was just a little confused.
I am super happy that you put Shipwreck Arcana on the list. I fully agree with this one! My GF and I play on doomed difficulty all the time and see how many times we can get around the board....it turns more into mind reading for us :P
Zee, you might want to try out Mad Love as well. it's another small game....specifically for 2 players....another cooperative deduction game in which you can't talk :)
Y’all were off the rails on this one. Great list. The “Hotel California” riff had me crying I was laughing so hard.
I miss Zee the office manager. Bring him back!
so I'd choose (in no particular order) :
-Photosynthesis - You feel really smart when you manage to block the light for someone for a turn (though it's kinda bound to happen) or if you manage to get the tree in the middle and stuff, and there is probably a point you feel clever about at least a turn or two, like one game it really looked bad for me, I hardly got any sun points but then after the second sun-turn my stategy started kicking in and I finally got so much sun energy and and stuff, won in the end, felt SO SMART!
-Dice Wars: when you manage to foresee a move of an opponent and just get a really cool combination out. such a good feeling. On the other hand if an enemy does it to you at least I feel like "yeah good move, was very hard to foresee" and still don't feel dumb ^^
-Spirit Island: Yes it's coop, why not feel smart as a group. Anytime you fist think "OMG this looks impossible" but you work so well together and stategize and you not only survive but it's a breeze (Ok not always but as long as you survive things are good) so the whole group will feel smart
Basically and Exit/escape game: Well it's a double edged sword, you ofcourse feel smart solving a puzzle or finding the important clue everyone overlooked but just sitting there staring at a riddle untill you take the thrid hint because you just don't get makes you feel really stupid. also the point system can be frustrating as you have no chance to do better with that specific game... so yeah can go both ways
-Hanabi: same reason Zee put it there, just cool when things work out ;)
- Deception murder in Hong Kong - same reason as Sam ;)
-Decrypto: More difficult than Codenames really, and so thinky, and really all steps can have such a huge pay off, whether you escribe your words to you Team mates in secrative waysand they get it (if they don't they are just too stupid, not me! Pffff), getting the code right naturally, especially if you are the enemy, but even coming close, finding out you almost had but just one number wrong and the other team was jsut a tad faster, makes you feel smart!
- Dice Forge: I know it's a lighter game but so elegant, I feel smart the way I choose to maniüpulate my dice, thinking about whether I make one "gold and ppoints" dice, do I drop points for dice totally, concentrating on the cards and going for the stones? it usually is a close call game in our group, Ok I do win more often than not which ofcourse always makes you feel smart XD
- I know as a Kid I felt pretty smart playing cluedo... I mean not so much anymore, once you know the system it's kinda easy and just a question of luck who gets it first... but as a kid I felt sooo smart using the information from other peoples turn as well, not only mince etc. For nostalgic reasons I wanted to mention it XD

This list was making me feel smart until Zee started dressing up as Tom and then I got confused.
Zendo! Always makes several people feel smart. Surprised it wasn't mentioned!
I am not looking forward to the top 10 where Tom tries to change trousers in between numbers. 😁
Tom, you genuinely need to get Gloomhaven to the table for Sam and Zee again. Make it "ez mode" if you need to, but have them experience the smurt way of playing.

I got so excited about Awkward Guests and then found out it was offered in an expired Kickstarter. Bummer, that games looks awesome.
Chronicles of Crime engine coupled be used to make some pretty open world RPG type board games that feel very much like old RPG PC games.
NMBR9 is a good one! Sometimes it just fits together perfectly, and you look around the table and everyone else is throwing up their hands in futility.
"Chronicles of Crime, waterboarding the homeless."
They should put that on the box.
With the redesigned cards for Awkward Guests in the new version being developed, I wonder if the more obvious clues will take away from the "Smart" feeling? They show you exactly what to cross out now instead of leaving you go figure it out, like what a "blunt weapon" refers to in the example card Tom shows @ 1:07:00.

Deductive reasoning is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. In inductive reasoning, the conclusion is reached by generalizing or extrapolating from specific cases to general rules.
Hey Sam, next time bring a viking helmet to counter Tom & Zee their hat-foolishness.
Witness and Robo Rally sound like they belong in the "Top 10 Games In Which You Were Let Down By the Other Players" list.
As soon as I heard Zee talking about how he made his list, I knew Deus was gonna be on there. Such a good game.
Neuroshima Hex when you pull off that amazing board clear becuase you placed everything to take out the other players units befor their plan can go off.

Games that are (or feel) broken.

first contact buy it if you like dixit, components are a 9(except the front of the box,(not liked by the designer either)) very usable.
Just out of curiosity (I'm a big Smash Up fan), what factions were playing in Sam's game?
Absolutely agree with Zee on The Shipwreck Arcana --- what a great little game. Tom needs to give it a try.
Mastermind is mine, but the good version with 5 spots to guess and using the blank space rule. Getting it in under 8 is great.
The first games I thought of when I saw this list were smash up, onitama and deception. Glad to see they all made someones list!
I was wondering if Zee would name Shipwreck Arcana for this list.
Is "it is probably my number 11" the most repeated phrase in the TDT top 10's?
Jorge H Loyola D it’s not in the top ten most repeated phrases.
It’s probably number 11
Where can one buy first contact?
What about X-Wing ? Anticipating and outmaneuvering your opponent makes you feel smart. Especially since they scaled down the bloat a bit for 2nd edition.
x wing makes me feel smart because I stopped collecting it once I had b wings.
Heya Tom, your hat (brown Fedora) looks like Joe Miller's hat from The Expanse:D - trying to get one for myself:)
Half way through the video, I’m really hoping that Sam will surprise everyone and put on a hat. 😆
Hi, please make a top 10 board games that make you feel powerful.
Chronicles of Crime and Detective...piecing together the crime early and watching all of your guesses come true make me feel smurt!!!

I'm with Zee. If someone boasts about how they are going to win, and then I beat them? They're gonna need to beg me to stop ribbing them about it.
Loved the bit!
