I'm glad people appreciate him and his picks are interesting. I personally found myself skipping his explanations often because he slows down the conversations too much for me. He does not have QST's imo :p
Hey, y'all, great video as usual! As a board gamer who is also an avid disc golfer, just thought I'd chime in. A colossal number of courses across the world consist of 18 holes, each of which is often par 3, meaning the overall par for the course is 54. Therefore, a score of 58 is four over par or +4. Not great by PDGA professional standards, but a perfectly respectable score for amateur/intermediate players on most courses. Definitely not terrible. Hope this helps. :)
Great picks all! My top pick for this grouping is... 7 Wonders. The card drafting, higher player count, and timely play work well. The top game I want to try is Orleans. I can't decide which Uwe game to start with. Wrymspan was the first time I enjoyed a tableau because I appreciate mechanics working with the theme, like dragons in caves. I vote you are allowed to pick your own games. You gave a couple of reasons... ok with me. Settlers of Catan is a modern classic... great memories with nephews and nieces... I have Settlers of Canaan for the Biblical theme. I was doubtful about trying Castles of Burgandy because I don't enjoy lucky outcomes but this results in mitigation strategy I actually liked.
Who else took out their copy of 1001 Arabian Nights to look for Jason's name? Yup, right there on pg 17, pretty cool. That game also has one of the most beautiful boards ever made, imo. Up there with Merchants & Marauders and Rajas of the Ganges.
Hi, great videos. Question, who's the person who did 58? His shirt said "Foundation Lynchburg". I'm living in Lynchburg VA and wanted to know more about him. If you can't release that info, I understand.
I never understood what "Dice Tower Essential" really is. Is it a label like SdJ or 'Seal of Excellence'? Or is it publishing/republishing/organizing reprint runs? But in any case calling the ultra deluxe game "Foundations of Rome" essential is a very big stretch. :/ Especially when the normal retail version of it is on the way ("Foundations of Metropolis").
Dice Tower Essentials is a line of games Tom started with Sheriff of Nottingham where he found games that didn't have wide distribution or an out of print game he felt could be reworked and promoted by Arcane Wonders and the Dice Tower. They're games he feels are great games for anyone's collections. Foundations of Metropolis is also a Dice Tower Essential game for the reason you mentioned. It's a solid game, but the cost/shelf space is prohibitive. But at the end of the day, it's still a game a lot of people have loved and so it's a great addition to the Dice Tower Essentials line. -Chris
As far as I am concerned Jason could introduce himself without 'the gaming machine'. To me it sounds childish. But hey, that's me. However I would like to see more of him.
Pro dragon and anti dragon sounds like a polarising political debate in a fantasy world. Like, their conservative party being strongly anti dragon and their liberals being pro dragon, otlr the other way round, funny anyway.
Wendy desperately asking Jason what is his 52 is so funny 😂😂
Wendy’s daughter taught my family go nuts for donuts too. It has become a family favorite
We need more Jason. Man it's so great to see so many older classics.
He does bring a lot of older games to the table--many I've never heard of! Good stuff.

"Distilled...about brewing alcoholic beverages" *head smack*
Great choices. Especially Jasons „oldies”. Highly appreciated it the cult of the new era.
As someone who works in the alcoholic beverage industry I was engrossed in the discussion on Distilled.
Engrossed because we are all oblivious?

This is very true, but if you’re playing at a longer course with a few Par 4’s, 58 could be great! 😂
Hey that's cool. Thanks :)
@@thecollins41 Also true. :)
Glad to see Distilled is holding up. I hope that means it'll become more widely available and drop in price a bit so I can get a copy! 😁
I will never turn down a game of Push. We ALWAYS have fun playing this one as a family.
So, you will never Push away a game of push?
@@DT_Wendy EXACTLY.
So good to see Tzolkin and Tribune on here!

Oh Jason... oh jason... the awkward tension and songs... haha BUT it was fun 😊😊
Great to see Catan on a top 100.

Great to see castles of burgundy

You can always tell when someone had one or two bad plays that turned them off permanently from a game.
I like Jason's diversity of picks, but all he says about every game is "what an amazing game" and it doesn't matter whose pick it is.
I appreciate how much he loves board games. And his depth of knowledge is crazy.
@@timothylundstrom6348 As it turns out, you can love board AND have critical viewpoints. That's why I come to the DT.
Maybe he just likes games. Can’t blame him for that.
I don’t understand this comment. He talks about the games very well and explains what he likes about them. He doesn’t just say they are amazing games.
@@jasontaylor8192 you don't need to, Jason. And I don't think I want to spend time on that for you either.
pokemon splendor is so good
Who was the disc golf guy announcing #58? I listen to the Foundation Disc Golf channel, his face is familiar???
It was Jason, from the warehouse.

It’s a label meant to sell games. Thats a tad oversimplified but at the end of the day that’s all it’s for: marketing.
It’s a line of games Tom (and company) really likes.

So, where's 70 to 61?
What is the space dwellings of elder vale?
It’s called Andromedas Edge
Andromeda’s Edge coming 2024
Distilled coming to bga very soooooooon. (In alpha ATM)
Exciting :)

Yup. Just as I thought. As you move up the list the games get drier and more boring.
Are you waiting for them to mention something really fun like a dungeon crawler? I am lol
You should probably stop watching. Doesn't sound like this list is for you. Maybe post your top 100?
Your complaining is actually getting pretty boring now.
Yup, just as I thought, as we move up the list you're comments are getting more predictable and boring.
