    Great to see Spots getting some recognition at last, one of my favourite games.

      spots is incredible. i'd be fine with tons of expansions of more dog cards.

    Love the Christmas games lists every year from the Dice Tower. Our family favorite from this list is Captain Flip, highly recommend! Wrath of the Fire Mountain is solid with kids too. I enjoyed Cities, Harmonies and River Valley Glassworks, but none of those made it to my collection this year.
    I am sure it will be on another list, and if it is not what a tragedy...TRIO should be in everyone's stockings this year and not even kidding (it seemed like this was the first year it was readily available). Grandparents, parents, teenagers and elementary kids can all play this at the same time.

    Player count is SO important as families in my family have multiple children who want to play and several families are often together and want to play. When I get out a game,I often have 6 kids who want to play.

    I'm so excited that these lists are starting. Also Harmonies has gone over great with my family and game group. I definitely second that recommendation! Happy holidays everyone!

    Cities and Harmonies were winners for me this year. I also quite enjoyed my play of Captain Flip.

    Great list.
    I can tell some of those games are language independent but I was wondering if Dice Tower will make a video about strictly language independent games ?

    First time I’ve seen the Christmas list. Well done! It would be useful to include price!

    • @thedicetower
      @thedicetower  20 дней назад

      We can't and won't add prices because they fluctuate from place to place and time to time!

    I often buy 2 copies of a game to stretch the player count buy combining them

    Been trying to find captain flip but it seems out of stock everywhere! Would love to get glassworks as well.

    A Christmas list of family games without Santa Kaos? Unacceptable! 😜

    LOVE Cities and Wrath of Fire Mountain! Was disappointed with MLEM.

  • @sethhale235
    @sethhale235 22 дня назад

    These really have become a bit of a Christmas tradition for me. Well... November tradition, I guess.

    Wait a minute. Am I suppose to post here or there to be eligible for the contest? OK, I'm going to do both. This counts, right?

    Spots is one of the best fillers to come out in recent years.

    @angelafortunato3866 21 день назад

    This was a great video and so was the bee board gaming one! Wow that was a crazy and yet cool video! There was a lot of passive aggressive complaining but I definitely cannot blame them for that.

  • @DeJogoemJogo

    Ok, no one here is asking why is Chris dressed so formal?👀

    The mic on the tie is no good idea it rips against the shirt all the time.

    Diplomacy! (May as well lean into what's inevitable anyway)

    @tabletalkreviews 22 дня назад

    Harmonies is great for families, but it's also great for gamers who want to combo patterns together. Just played on a jumbo version at a local con, so much fun.

  • @prufrock1977

  • @ronthal
    @ronthal 22 дня назад

    Jeez Spots I tested and yes it's a very light game but it drags for soooo long I didn't even want to finish the game, by the end you cannot accumulate several cards anymore so it takes forever unless you have bones or luck... Such a boring game for me.
    Harmonies is fantastic and takes less time than the abovementioned!

    I think that the Dice Tower crew shouldn’t use board game lingo in these Christmas videos.

    • @ttocsisme
      @ttocsisme 21 день назад

      Yeah, they should use video game jargon

  • @annehugues29
    @annehugues29 22 дня назад +2

    Spellbook, mlem or monkey palace are just ok games, l don't understand your selection.

    • @LeeKenshin7
      @LeeKenshin7 20 дней назад

      To each his/her own. My family loves MLEM. You got me reconsidering getting Monkey Palace as a bday gift for a Lego lover. What didn't you like about these games?

  • @IndianaGeologist
    @IndianaGeologist 22 дня назад +7

    This should be labeled as 12 newer family games for 2024 holidays, or something similar....these are not the best family games. In fact, id be surprised if most of them will be talked about in 5 years...heck even next year most will be forgotten about.

    • @lotuslove6753
      @lotuslove6753 22 дня назад

      What are some you like??

    • @IndianaGeologist
      @IndianaGeologist 22 дня назад +1

      @lotuslove6753 depends on the age of family and group size. But a few that come to mind: Take 5/ 6 Nimt, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Bonanza, So Clover or Codenames, Camel Up, Stella or Dixit or Mysterium. Granted, my family is pretty interactive, love to laugh, and most aren't gamers.

      It’s not a top 10 list. It’s just a list of games to consider. Nice thing is they’ve done this several years, so you can see past ones if you want another list of options.

      @ttocsisme 21 день назад +1

      The Title is fine, it doesn't imply they are the best

      Yes this feels like pushing new games for the sponsors

  • @kylebraby2357
    @kylebraby2357 22 дня назад +1

    Since when is a “family game”- only 4 players? Haha I have 7 kids and see a major gap in the market for some of these well produced, meat on the bones games that need to play higher counts for us bigger families.

      The holidays are a lot less stressful if you don't wait until December, only to find out that things are out of stock.
