man..I love Zee & Tom but Mike brought so much knowledge to Dice Tower and offers often very refreshing picks..
Agree with everything (except that little Mille Fiori thing lol). Could listen to these 3 guys talk all day long 🙂
Mike is definitely out of these three the one I share the least with in taste of games, but I still like his contribution to the channel for sure!
@@paulfletcher6276 Ganz Schön Knizia is great fun.
I mean, when you've been around as long as Mike has, you pick up a thing or two 😉
Mike's a man of the people
Mike continuing to talk while they talk over him is my Dice Tower highlight of the year. He’s constantly battling to talk when the others talk over him. The interaction and banter is always fun, but let the man speak, he has quality information and opinions to share.
Z is so hilarious. His style of comedy is so refereshing i just love it. His tenpenny park bit about bribing officials smacked
And his ability to say that with a straight face!
and when Tom teased Zee with 12 days of xmas lyrics: "he loves big baddies, long games and he's very shallow.." 🤣
Truly a great trio, I love the banter between you guys. The best list of the year. Thank you! (Mike DiLisio is a National Treasure)
Wow, Mike is such a fantastic addition to The Dice Tower! My favourite videos were with Tom, Zee, and Sam, and now my favourite videos are Tom, Zee, and Mike.
Came to say exactly the same thing. Couldn’t agree more. Also enjoy when Roy joins in as well.
I agree and there's much better athmoshpere now with Mike instead of Sam.
This is the best trio that has ever existed in DT history. Still don't love the new studio, but the you guys
This was one of my most anticipated vids and the year and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you and keep up the good work. Looking forward to the “Top 100 Games of All Time”
I love how Tom picked up on the significance of Zee's 'it could have been my 11'. The voice of experience of the voice of the people.
Keep the Heroes Out is my number one this year. Recently arrived from the KS campaign and love it so much.
Sometimes life knocks you over the head. Watching you guys discuss board game is the best band aid.
Hope you feel better soon. And yes, these guys are great!
Hooray Flamecraft! Played it yesterday and am currently 3d printing an insert for it. Opening all those little baggies can be a bit of a pain. Endless Winter looks super fun as well.
I really love all your top 10 list videos with you three. You are so entertaining and interesting.
Thank you all!
Thanks for the year of top 10s guys. They really help keep me going 👍
I was glad to see some love for Lands of Galzyr. My son and I find the game quite enjoyable, with some well developed storylines and interesting story paths.
Really enjoyed the Winter spectacular. Keep up the good work guys, loving your work! 👏👏👏
Yes, Long Shot! Now I am excited to try Ready, Set, Bet! Thanks, guys.
Y’all are amazing. Love these videos and the effort you obviously put in. Thanks so much and be blessed.
I'm happy they have top 10s for different categories of games (great art, 2 players, heavy, etc.) it's always fun to watch them 😂
Now or Never is my favorite of Ryan Laukat’s! I’m with Zee here about liking this underloved game.
We are just now getting to Ready Set Bet and it's been a blast! Oathsworn is also a GREAT pick. What a game. This list is making me really want to try out Skate Summer!
31:18 I actually died here from laughing. Tears filled my I eyes and I couldn't speak for a minute out of laughing. You guys are the best! Apart from great board game content you are just wonderful, positive, joyful people who bring so much into my life... THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. Best Christmas wishes to y'all and have a wonderful Christmas time! Much love from Poland!
Great list. And good job on the new studio set up! The camera angle is way better like this in comparison to your first video's in the new studio. Or maybe only 3 people in this set up just works better.
Tom not knowing what games Zee and Mike have played makes me a bit envious. If my boss paid that little attention to what I do at work, I'd probably still be employed.
Haha what did you do?
YEAH CAMERON WHAT DID YOU DO?!
@@nickmaldonado59 I ran storage auctions and sold the wrong unit. Granny's ashes and and antique furniture fetched a pretty penny.
@@cameronpowell1864 I honestly thought that was a TV series thing, I didn’t know those auctions were a real thing. I need to go visit the USA one day
@@cameronpowell1864 if zee sold toms grannys ashes to the highest bid, i think we'll be seeing a new pandemic reviewer in no time.
Lands of Galzyr is one of the most charming and well designed games I’ve ever played. Masterful.
Your initial thoughts and subsequent review are what made me pull my copy off of the shelf and start playing!
That would be a great list!
Top 10 Games you would enjoy just watching without playing.
New studio definitely works much better at 3, than 4, as you're so much closer to the camera. Nice job guys!
I got the kickstarter deluxe version of Flamecraft and I don't regret it one bit. It's a great game that last about an hour and it's not too heavy on strategy or planning so my 8 year old niece plays it with us no problem
Endless winter is such a good game, a bit overwhelming at first but the freedom it gives players is great, especially if played with the expansions
Love the new studio :)
Thanksgiving may never be the same at my house now that my family has played and enjoyed Ready Set Bet.
The back and forth between these three is great. I think mike is my favorite.
I love the new set. So much more conversational than the typical big gaming table.
Glad to see Flamecraft on there. it's a funtastic game!
Love this trio!
Did not expect Toms number one at all. Glad I got myself a copy
Familiar projects, unfamiliar projects, I saw them all and they were all great.
Great lists! The year of the racing games
Blood on the Clocktower is my favorite new game of the year.
Amazing video! I though I was keeping track of most of hot games, apparently not! XD
44:40 I actually think the guy on the Orichalcum cover is releasing a handful of soil, having just hit land via boat, not from the air haha.
Mike was definitely not last to get his number 1 game. The UK hadn’t even started receiving it until a few weeks after you guys reviewed it.
Tribes of the Wind is SO Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Want to play it now!
Zee you mentioned you like when a list card in a draft "does something". In that way I can recommend zapotec if you didn't play it yet!
WOw...no1 people choice,...
ok,...ok waiting for my copy!
THanks guys.Veryy entertaining video
LOve you All...All the best
Now or Never is greatly under appreciated. Wierd tom complains about it being too long. I feel Ark Nova is too long for what is delivers. Now or Never scratches my itch the whole way through and gives a great sense of accomplishment at the end. Great pick Zee!
My Top Board Games 2022’:
15. ELEVEN - tegoroczna nowość od Portalu o zarządzaniu klubem piłkarskim
14. Brass Birmingham - bardzo fajne zarządzanie wszystkim...
13. Tidal Blades: Obrońcy Rafy + dodatek - na obecną chwilę, to jest moje największe pozytywne zaskoczenie i odkrycie planszówkowe tego roku: Gram w to już drugi miesiąc :D 12. Gloomhaven: Szczęki Lwa - świetne kompaktowe wydanie i gra wciąga
11. Android: Netrunner - świetna karcianka, super klimat
10. Glen More II Kroniki - ta gra jest genialna w swojej prostocie zasad
9. Pax Pamir - gra trafiła na radar dzięki materiałowi Gambita i jest GENIALNA
8. 51. Stan - świetny klimat, świetne mechaniki i świetne znaczniki zasobów
7. Brzdęk! Nie drażnij smoka - pokochałem tą grę od samego początku 7*. Brzdęk! Raban w próżni - jeszcze bardziej dopracowana wersja Brzdęka
6. Diuna: Imperium - ta gra świetnie odzwierciedla klimat Arrakis i całej DIUNY
5. Mage Knight - świetny klimat, świetny świat, po prostu Mage Knight !!
4. Anachrony - bardzo fajnie pomyślany świat i klimatyczna gra
3. Etherfields - klimat tej gry, mechanika i piękne grafiki urzekły mnie...
2. Scythe - klimat tej gry jest genialny... Świetnie odzwierciedla klimat konfliktu...
1. Bonfire - jak wzajemnie zazębiają się mechaniki w tej grze, to jest po prostu niesamowite !!
Greetings 🤩😉
I do. I'm one of the ones with an alarm on my phone for the Game Nerdz DotD!
I'd take Splendor Duel over Oathsworn, but you have a good list, Tom
I miss the "shut the door!" XD
Love the video, great list. Though, I gotta ask: 9 is bigger than 8.5? :D
FYI, the word Decimate means to reduce by 10%, and Mille Fiore is listed on BGG as 2021.
Oh nooooo
Yes, it comes from ancient Rome and their policy of killing one out of every 10 prisoners after a battle.
Great to see ya, Zee Garcia!
Ah well I was able to pick up my copy of Endless Winter in person since the company that was handling the distribution is located less than 15 miles from were I live. Now Frosthaven on the other hand might be a while but hopefully it will take less time than my copy of Etherfields which I finally received just a few months ago.
55:39 So there has got to be an “East” series, as well! :-
It's interesting that now with so many games coming out, so many great games never enter Dice Tower's radar and thus have no chance for Top 10-s of the year. No Guards of Atlantis 2 (which is much better than Ascension Tactics), no Virtu, no Hamlet. Great games!
Happily, everyone can enjoy different games!
Maybe Tom was unhappy to be opening his Wildlife Adventure present, but to me it's a forgotten gem. A mid 80's design by Wolfgang Kramer, I've had it since I was 10 and these days still enjoy playing it with my own 10 year old daughter.
With the 'running the game' as playing. I run Werewolf at 2 conventions every year and I run it every night there and usually 1 giant one and a bunch of smaller ones. I nearly never actually 'play' but you better believe I consider it playing the game.
Still waiting to get my hands on Mille Fiore!
Long Shot>Ready, Set, Bet! Hands down.
@45:07 Tom’s #6 - it has a grid!
I think you need a softer light in the new studio. I just watched to Top 10 Cooperative games and the light in the other studio seems warmer and a bit nicer
Great lists! I passed over Massive Darkness 2 because of no interest in the first game, but shall have to try it
I like the studio. The unwrapping was a neat idea. However, placing the DOG right in front was not, may I suggest that the screen over the shoulder was a better choice
Endless Winter is so dang good, it'll be in my top 10 all-time list for quite a while. I don't get the hate Now or Never gets; it's too long? Really? There are millions of LONG games that get a lot of love. That makes no sense to me....I LOVE Paladins, and while I'm super enthused by the dice aspect, I'm anxious to try Wafarers.....Long shot was a favorite of mine from back in the day, but it feels archaic now, so I'm interested in the dice version....Car racing games always seem to get more hype than I've felt they've deserved, but I suppose I should try Heat....A game not mentioned is Cat in the Box. Clever little twist on the trick-taking mechanism. GREAT lists, and great work by the entire DT crew the entire Winter Spectacular. Looking forward to the Top 100s next :)
Mille Fiori is a 2021 BBG game, I checked for you 😄
I hereby regret not playing Flamecraft at Pax Unplugged!
Zee, my brother, give me a call and I will fly over and show you Flamecraft. We can’t have you missing out 😁
How on earth The Thing hasn't shown up on any 2022 Top 10 lists is beyond me
Exactly, The Thing is an excellent game
Tom said about frosthaven: " there is no good storage system for this other than maybe you should buy a house (just for Frosthaven)" .. lol 😂
I’m starting to become a big Mike fan
I was really interested in tribes of the Wind this year. But at PAXU the people learning and playing it at the first look area said the rule book was terrible and that it was far too long.
Fun video guys! Thanks.
You go girl 😂 that was priceless
Could somebody get me in on the "furnace" running gag? I have missed it, i think
I think Now Or Never came out too close to Sleeping Gods. People just weren't ready for another massive Ryan Laukat game
Carnegie was the best strategy Euro game of 2022. Hopefully more people get a chance to play it.
Yes. And despite being the HIGHEST RANKED game on BGG from 2022, it is nowhere on any of the four top 10 lists here - including People's Choice.
@@KristoVaher yeah unfortunately this channel is for begginers mainly... Some easy games to play in 1h and teach in 10 minutes... You will not find amazing heavy euro here
Yes, Carnegie is the best game I have played in a long time.
@@KristoVaher Sure, it's the highest if you ignore Ark Nova
@@PandaOfElastic Ark Nova is a 2021 release
1:30:14 their picks in list form - I just saved you an hour and a half.
35:20 missed opportunity to say that Zee's copy of Galzyr got Meltscaped!
Massive Darkness 2 coule have been titled: Lights and Shadow
What's up with Carnegie? It has some Splotter vibe for me, I really liked it. I did not play many new games this year, I am a late adopter, but nobody?
Such a great video, but why is this video not showing up on your video feed? It has been so hard to find any of your recent "live videos" lately if missed live.
RUclips changed the way videos are displayed. Click on the channel and click the "Live" tab.
@@mypetcat55 ugh, I'm a dummy. Thank you!
The lighting is intense in this one.
I'm (once again) a ZeeMike's minion this year! :D
My crossovers :
0 with Joey (O_o)
1 with Roy: King of Monster Island (6)

2 with Wendy : Splendor Duel (4), Flamecraft (9)
3 with Zee: Orichalcum (2), Heat (3), Tenpenny Parks (8)
3 with Mike : Heat (3), Orichalcum (2), Flamecraft (9)

- Namiji (10 - I thought Mike would have it)
(I had Vagrantsong on my initial list, but it's listed as a 2021 game on BGG...)
Wishlist (from the DT lists):
- Tribes of the Wind (Mike's pick)
- Long Shot the Dice Game (Zee's pick)
- Endless Winter (Wendy, Mike, Chris & Camilla's pick)
- Planet Unknown (Joey & Alex's pick)
- Skate Summer (Camilla, Mike & Zee's pick)
When is the voting for the people’s top 100 all time? Hope I didnt miss it.
Don't worry Mike, I finally got Endless Winter a fortnight ago.
Wich of them is best for two Player?
Chonkers??? Whaaaaaaa
No one received Mosaic. Has been one of those kickstarters that had very bad expectation management. Maybe a 2023 game for most people :)
THANK YOU ZEE Now or Never top 10!
I feel sometimes Mike's teaching backgound kicks in when Tom and Zee start to behave too much like rowdy schoolkids
Im surprised Return to Dark Tower didn't make this list?
Wonderlands war is getting revised player abilities for jabberwock and mad hatter
Will that require an expansion, or are there standalone revisions you can get?
@@leener33gmail you can buy them by themselves or download for free the pdfs and print yourself. But they’re not available yet, they’re still being play tested
Thinks for the spoiler in oathsworn !! You really couldn’t find a bigger censor !!
Orichalcum's guy is doing the Gladiator running earth through his hand thing, isn't he?
He's rolling dice, which is used to combat monsters in the game.
@@dandurkin9735 ah, gotcha - I didn't look too closely at the art, that makes sense
Silly me - I apparently also did not look closely at the box art and should have before commenting - my apologies! He is indeed holding dirt, but I think it represents the exploration of a "new world", though perhaps is meant to evoke that ritual from Gladiator, because there is combating monsters. Enjoy!
Was Yamatai unpopular? I loved that game
Heat is the best racing game since Flamme Rouge!
What's the running joke with Mike and Furnace? I missed that
He had it on his "biggest surprise" list two years in a row. The game just keeps jumping out of nowhere for him.
@@squared82 thanks :)
Poor Mike. Mille Fiori is 2021 for Europe and on BGG, January 2023 for the U.S. market, but review copies arrived in 2022. O__o
1:00:06 But your real #4, Tom, is Ignite! :-
Where the heck did "Z" being a lover of long games come from? I distinctly remember the running joke from the early days that "Z's" first complaint was that the game lasted more than 30 minutes.
