I feel that Castles suffer from setting the price every round. It's so easy to be a kingmaker if you don't want to re-evaluate every person's castle every single time. Which leads to a long game mostly spent looking at other people pricing things. Or alternatively a person just eyeballs it instantly and some people get perfect tiles dirty cheap. So it's not surprising at all that it isn't on this list.
My top 3 would be Cascadia, Castles of Burgundy, and Cribbage. Others in my top 11 would be in random order: Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Calico, Concordia, Canvas, Camel Up, Cafe, Chocolate Factory, and Can’t Stop.
My top ten: 10 Cat in the Box 09 Chicago Express 08 Crystal Palace 07 Carrooka 06 CO2: Second Chance 05 Carcassonne 04 Coffee Traders 03 Concordia 02 Castles of Burgundy 01 Cooper Island
About captain sonar, it's an educated guess but Matagot edit a lot of game for the French and German market, so that may be the French version. Good for us the Froggy, because I find it cool....
Technical feedback: Glad you guys enjoyed the sweets, but the constant chomping and sucking noises by mic did not create the best listening experience.
1. Concordia 2. The Crew 3. Chthulu: Death May Die 4. Churchill 5. Chicago Express 6. Civilization 7. Can't Stop 8. Chronicles of Crime 9. Century: Golem Edition 10. Cat in the Box
My list is: 10 Caverna, 9 Cockroach Poker, 8 Cyclades, 7 Castles of Burgundy, 6 Caesar's Empire, 5 The Colonists, 4 Champions of Midgard, 3 Crystal Palace, 2 Come Together, and 1 Concordia.
As someone who’s more of a euro omni gamers, theres definitely a couple of big named universally loved euros that dice tower don’t particularly care for. That’s fine because its their list but seeing Brass Birmingham left out in B and Concordia and Castles of Burgundy left out in C really shows that newer boardgamers are not going to get exposure to those classics on Dice Tower. Anyways, my top 10. 10. Clank! Catacombs 9. Caylus / Caylus 1303 8. Carpe Diem 7. Cthulhu: Death May Die 6. Cthulhu Wars 5. Castles of Mad King Ludwig 4. Clans of Caledonia 3. Caverna 2. Castles of Burgundy 1. Concordia
They'll find the games, I promise. Besides, those games are highly reviewed on our channel. We aren't hiding them from newcomers. :). Saying we "don't care for them" is a bit hyperbole. I actually LIKE both of these games. And Chris and Wendy LOVE Brass.
You know what Champions of Midgard (with expansions) actually needs? A COOPERATIVE campaign expansion just like what Lost Ruins of Arnak recently did. I'd pay LOTS of money for that, as Champions of Midgard is still my favorite game. Anyone at GreyFox Games listening?
We couldn't play Chronicles of crime because we had issues with the QR codes on the app and after looking it up it seems many people had the same issue
1. Clank! In! Space! 2. Caverna 3. Café 4. Cubitos 5. Cat Lady (Digital) 6. Charterstone (Physical and Digital) 7. Carcassonne (These are the only "C" games in my collectionin order of preference)
Another with Champions at the top! Champions of Midgard (with expansions) is my favorite competitive game too! I'd love a reprint of some kind like they talked about in the video, especially if there was a way they could somehow give a new co-op variant, kind of like what the most recent Lost Ruins of Arnak expansion did.
I think Camilla would _love_ Cosmic Encounter. You guys aren't selling it right for her. It has all the epic stories and back-stabbing and memorable moments that normally require a long, complicated game... in like 20 minutes. And then you do it again and totally meta-game from the previous time. It's fantastic.
Cascadia, Championship Baseball, Concordia, The Crew, Council of 4, Castle Panic, Citadels, Cargo Noir, Crokinole, Captain Sonar. Honorable Mention: Creature Comforts (only played once so too early to tell where it will land).
Some other fantastic "c" games in my opinion, trying not to mention others i see lots in the comments: Coloretto Cryptid Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done Crokinole Conspiracy (1973 version) Citrus Circadians: First Light Capital Lux 2: Generations
My top 10 1. Captain sonar 2. Champions of Midgard 3. Camel up 4. Citadels 5. Canvas 6. Clank catacombs 7. The crew 8. Chinatown 9. Cash and guns 10. Cat in the box
Mine too! I just recently finished up playing through all 6 sessions of the newest Lost Ruins of Arnak expansion, the one that makes the game co-op. I totally loved it. It would be amazing to see if GreyFox Games could do something similar with Champions. The idea of taking a game that was originally competitive and making it co-op is so fascinating to me.
“A” and “the” are articles (indefinite and definite, respectively), whereas “of” is a preposition, which is why Of Mice and Men would not follow the rule (or rather would not be subject to the dominant style of alphabetising titles in English, to phrase it more accurately). Surely opponents of ignoring articles will at least admit that their way can be less efficient since it requires additional alphabetising. (Just don’t ask what should happen when “The” is part of a proper noun. 😇)
Sorry. I meant to turn those off. RUclips changed some setting recently that has made it more obnoxious on our side, but the mid-video ads are off now.
Love the Claustrophobia love in this list. Such a great atmospheric tense game. I played three player with Kartikeya the Squamata once (the third one-"man" faction introduced in De Profundis). I didn't play as Kartikeya but it was pretty cool and fun but for the most part I'd probably prefer the classic match-up with troglodytes and demons vs the Redeemer and convics doing repentence. Actually I'd be ok with mostly just replaying the first scenario The Survivors over and over again.
My top 10 C games is 1. Creature caravan (played at salt con) 2. Cubitos 3. Cascadia 4. Creature comforts 5. City of iron 6. Carcassonne safari 7. Canopy 8. Clank in space 9. Cardline animals 10. Coralia
They said in the top 100 that the video was outdated when it came out, as they created the lists weeks/months before airing them. People are allowed to change opinions on board games 😉
I see that you started to put some commercial promotions in your video. I don't mind at all, it is all good. Lots of RUclipsr do so and I guess it is an achievement to create something that starts to be enough notorious to allow this. But just be aware that if it becomes a thing, that your kickstarter campaign will probably earn you less. And the more promotion you'll do, the less it will fund. But I guess you all figured it out and you aim to eventually to get out of this kickstarter funding. Managing all these kickstarter promos are undoubtedly a pain that you want to get rid off.
I think The Crew should not count. The “The” part is really important. The game is about The Crew which needs to solve the puzzle. There is no reviewer which says Crew. I understand Castles of Mad King or The castles of Mad King. There the “the” is not an essential part of the title.
OMG, this is the second video IN A ROW where the German word "Die" is horribly pronounced. It's pronounced "Dee". The English word "The" (British pronunciation) literally came from the word "Die"! "ie" is pronounced "ee". Like in Spiel. Die Spiel. It's the easiest German word to learn! Learn it! PLEASE!!!!
Pretty much every job that requires cataloging excludes articles like "A," "An," and "The." Makes it easier when you aren't sure if something starts with The or not. Plus it prevents the Ts from being unnecessarily large. -Chris
Do you mean at the beginning? You do have the option to forward past if you are not watching live. I really like that Tom had someone (forgot his name) do a variety of themes so you don’t know what will come up. I wonder if this is an age thing for you? I am from the time before video streaming and even remember a time before VCRs. I watched a lot that I didn’t really want to watch, and I am not scarred by it.
Shouldn’t this list have been with Chris, Camilla, and Cannaday?
I THOUGHT THIS TOO lol
Touche!
Can’t wait for the top 10 games that begin with Zee…. And probably end without him because they were too long.
No, thankfully.
No cause it’s Roy.
Castles of Burgubdy and Concordia are so good y'all...
I was surprised these two weren't mentioned
I feel that Castles suffer from setting the price every round. It's so easy to be a kingmaker if you don't want to re-evaluate every person's castle every single time. Which leads to a long game mostly spent looking at other people pricing things. Or alternatively a person just eyeballs it instantly and some people get perfect tiles dirty cheap.
So it's not surprising at all that it isn't on this list.
@@Szurumburwrong Castles, OP mentioned Burgundy, not Mad King Ludwig 😉
@@JerzyMuller Oh yeah. My bad.
@@JerzyMullerI was thinking there was some insane rules variant I was unaware of, and how that woukd even work😂
I'm holding out for a top 10 games with a catch-up mechanic for those of us who love board games but always lose.
My top 3 would be Cascadia, Castles of Burgundy, and Cribbage. Others in my top 11 would be in random order: Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Calico, Concordia, Canvas, Camel Up, Cafe, Chocolate Factory, and Can’t Stop.
Surprised that Concordia and Cat in a Box weren't on anyone's list.
Also a bit surprised that Castles of Burgundy and OG Carcassonne didn't make it.

I’m enjoying these Alphabet lists. I’m learning about games I’ve never heard of.

Good for us the Froggy, because I find it cool....

How did none of you put Coal Baron on your lists? That's my favorite game of all time
It's so underrated
Great cover too

You got 8 players to play captain sonar??! Wow Im jealous.
@@danielgoicoechea3440 so captain sonar is a convention game only.
My #1, Champions of Midgard
Mine too! I just recently finished up playing through all 6 sessions of the newest Lost Ruins of Arnak expansion, the one that makes the game co-op. I totally loved it. It would be amazing to see if GreyFox Games could do something similar with Champions. The idea of taking a game that was originally competitive and making it co-op is so fascinating to me.

There are certainly a lot of choices starting with C. Some of my favorites are Colt Express, Chaos in the Old World, and Cosmic Frog.
Shout out to Zee for having Camel Up on his list. 🐪 🐫
It seems like this list had so many ads, one played like every 5 minutes for me. Did youtube change something?
I noticed that too
Sorry. I meant to turn those off. RUclips changed some setting recently that has made it more obnoxious on our side, but the mid-video ads are off now.
"C" is the most common first letter in my collection and that's still only counting Clank! Catacombs once.
Caravan is a good C and my personal favorite game where wooden camels carry things on their backs (cubes, not other camels)
No Concordia is blasphemous
How dare they don’t like the game you do!
@@JerzyMuller I don't really think that... I do, but not like in a bad spirited way lol.
Just call the first edition Camel Cup.
1. Carcassonne
2. Cantaloop (Book 1)
3. Concept
4. Century: Golem Edition
5. Charterstone
6. Codenames
7. Cascadia

9. Concordia

I didn't play as Kartikeya but it was pretty cool and fun but for the most part I'd probably prefer the classic match-up with troglodytes and demons vs the Redeemer and convics doing repentence.

Criminal to cut Castles of Burgundy
C for Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Tom full of beans right off the bat
Bohnanza starts with "B"...
Sorry, I'll see myself out 😅
@bricelory9534 totally fair.
My top 10 C games is
1. Creature caravan (played at salt con)
2. Cubitos
3. Cascadia
4. Creature comforts
5. City of iron
6. Carcassonne safari
7. Canopy
8. Clank in space
9. Cardline animals
10. Coralia
What about cloudberries! I love those!
Did they show cannibal corpse in the opening? 😂
I did it for the two people besides me who would appreciate it!
Hot and sour soup is delicious.
No love for Caylus/Caylus 1303? Shocking!
Camilla I'll play co2 if you come to bgg.
Top 5 C games
The Crew(series)
Copenhagen
Creature Comforts
Camel Up
Cash & Guns
Top 10 games that are older than me.
Camilla’s top 10 C don’t follow the top C in her 100? That makes no sense whatsoever!!!
They said in the top 100 that the video was outdated when it came out, as they created the lists weeks/months before airing them. People are allowed to change opinions on board games 😉
I will die alone on this hill, Clank! OG is the best version!
You aren't alone. I prefer the og and maps to catacombs but the expansion sounds like it may fix some of the issues I have with catacombs.
Even though you skipped Cacao, Canopy, Canvas, Castell, and Castles of Burgundy, this was a great video!
SQT, Tom. Snappy Quick Turns (not QST)
Cee- Garcia
I see that you started to put some commercial promotions in your video. I don't mind at all, it is all good. Lots of RUclipsr do so and I guess it is an achievement to create something that starts to be enough notorious to allow this.

Didn't watch but obvious number 1 chrono trigger duh
It's board games, my dude, but good choice for a video game version of this list, although it's Crusader Kings for me
Celeste all the way
"Clank in Space" is better.
The lack of Castles of Burgundy invalidates everything.
I think The Crew should not count. The “The” part is really important. The game is about The Crew which needs to solve the puzzle. There is no reviewer which says Crew. I understand Castles of Mad King or The castles of Mad King. There the “the” is not an essential part of the title.
I don't think anyone (libraries, websites, etc.) makes this distinction. How do you know when "the" is important or not? Seems arbitrary.
Just for info: Strawberries are not berries, it is a nut fruit 😅
Yes, and tomatoes are a fruit, and a potato is not a vegetable, etc., etc. I think most people know whaty we mean.
OMG, this is the second video IN A ROW where the German word "Die" is horribly pronounced. It's pronounced "Dee". The English word "The" (British pronunciation) literally came from the word "Die"! "ie" is pronounced "ee". Like in Spiel. Die Spiel. It's the easiest German word to learn! Learn it! PLEASE!!!!
I apologize! We'll try to put a tag in front of our jokes in the future.
I'm with chat. "The" games start with 'T'
Pretty much every job that requires cataloging excludes articles like "A," "An," and "The." Makes it easier when you aren't sure if something starts with The or not. Plus it prevents the Ts from being unnecessarily large. -Chris
I would watch more of your videos if you edited out the countdown.
Do you mean at the beginning? You do have the option to forward past if you are not watching live. I really like that Tom had someone (forgot his name) do a variety of themes so you don’t know what will come up. I wonder if this is an age thing for you? I am from the time before video streaming and even remember a time before VCRs. I watched a lot that I didn’t really want to watch, and I am not scarred by it.
I don’t know, Tom. Caverna’s cover becomes more endearing each time I see it. 🫏 😅
