The so-called "negative" Top Tens are usually my favorite to watch. I watch you mostly for entertainment and laughs and those provide plenty of both. I don't even know how many times I've watched your "Top 10 games not to play with angry people", it's such a classic.

[GregAndBeth]

I love it when Zee gets intense about games he doesn't like. "Should I throw it in the trash cuz I already did" Always the highlight of the top tens.

[jameswoodard]

I've been meaning to say how nice the numbered transition scenes using the various game components are. Whoever put those together deserves some kudos.

[RichMulholland]

Zee managing to roast Tom while discussing doing a roast was a thing of beauty.

"Wait a week and you can say it was your idea." Hahaha.

Jasco is actually doing exactly what they suggested with Megaman to fix it - they're getting LVL99 to basically completely redesign it - and hopefully honour original backers with some kind of discount. This is actually a great partnership because LVL99 releases fantastic designs but tends to make production mistakes and cheap out a little, while Jasco is all production value. I'm excited to try whatever comes of this.

Mine would be “Mice and Mystics, ” and I never see anyone else talk about its problems. I love the theme - it definitely feels like playing inside a Redwall book. And it’s beautiful. But the mechanics are not fun - there’s a lot of imprecision and it all comes down to dice rolling

[danielwoltanski]

Ah, the wonderful humor! This Top 10 has made me laugh more than than I have in a long while. Thanks, guys!

[ralelunar]

"Abomination: The Rehearsal for Frankenstein's Dinner" LOL, even when he's roasting games that I like, Zee is hilarious

[azriell]

Man alive. I’ve been out of the BG scene for awhile because of time constraints and personal life stuff (I guess probably a few months before Sam left). And since I haven’t been playing, I haven’t been watching Dice Tower (too painful to see what you can’t have). I come back and the production level is off the charts. Dice Tower has really grown in the last few years. Keep it up, you guys rock!

Also it’s great to watch a Dice Tower Top 10. I didn’t realize how much I missed this.

[rmcunningham]

Negative lists are fun! It's good when you guys get a chance to blow off some steam and cut up.

With the D&D games, there's one monster that you can avoid indefinitely, because he only attacks adjacent heroes, but he never moves adjacent! Also, there's a lot of sameness to the scenarios (only the main bad guy really changes).

I don't hate the games, though.

[JayBee]

Oh wow, that’s my photo of Terror Below that was used on Mike’s #3! What a fun surprise. 🙂

[JonathonV]

100% agree about Treasure Island. It’s essentially “Euclidean Geometry: The Board Game”, except that in geometry you actually accomplish something interesting. Such a letdown.

[StinkyWizleteets]

Zee is wrong on the D&D Adventure system. The rules explicitly say to place the monster on the "Bone pile" on the current tile.

[sm]

I agree that we don't want too much negativity, but at the same time, this kind of list helps us know which games to watch out for. That's especially true here, where we might be lured in by other aspects.

[JonTripp]

This and "Beautiful on the inside" were two of the most entertaining videos Dice Tower has ever put out. XD Parting thoughts: Wingspan Backlash is real. If I ever see that Mega Man game for dirt cheap, I'll buy it just for the minis and throw the rest away. Zee hates point salad (as he made abundantly clear in the Pulsar playthrough video). I only own 3/30 of these - all Zee's picks - so I don't feel too bad about myself.

[jonathanwest]

Tom: "If I say I believe a game is bad, that isn't a fact" - unless you're talking about Monopoly Builder!!!

[chefeddie]

Please do The Dice Tower roasts, that was a great idea Tom had. 😁

[griffglowen]

Tragedy Looper is great but I got rid of it because everyone I showed it to was immediately turned off it. It’s not even that hard a concept - it’s just a competitive deduction game with a bit of bluffing. A bit like Mr Jack one player/team is trying to arrange the board so they can deduce information, whilst the other is trying to delay them as long as possible. The deducing team gets a certain number of attempts to figure it out. That’s basically it

[Syncopator]

Not surprised how many of these were kickstarters. Kickstarter is about hype and looking good and does not reward time spent on quality of gameplay. If a game is kickstartered, I'll ignore it for at least a year and see if the people who've played it say it's worthwhile.
