Congratulations on reaching 85, 000 subscribers Tom and the Dice Tower Crew. You have earned and deserve all the success you have achieved. I know it is going to only get bigger and better and more successful!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Love your top tens, 100's, live shows, board game breakfasts and everything else you do. I try to watch everything you all do. Tom I really appreciate all you have, without you I probably would not have rekindled my childhood love of boardgames. I also send thanks to everyone else involved especially Zee, Sam, Jason and Eric. I already have close to 50 games + many expansions. Also next time I see my niece I will show her Melody's top 100 and the rest of your daughters together doing the live ultimate werewolf show. Please get the board game knights to do more, I was really enjoying there stuff and I too come from down under. Keep up the fantastic work you all do. You are touching many lives, bringing untold joy, happiness and bringing people related out not together which it is all about in the end. Love all you guys and may the force be with you. From Julian your downunder boardgaming friend!

If everyone had two friends and could hang out and have fun like these guys do, the world would be such a better place.

Not sure if this will actually get read by Dice tower but as someone who just recently got back into board games I can't say how much I love these videos. You have shown me so many games I probably never would have known existed! I just got into Level 7 Omega Protocol which was mentioned by Sam on a couple of top tens. Awesome game. I also have plans to check out much more games and even ones I probably wouldn't have tried before. It is also refreshing to see fellow gamers that have no problem expressing their faith in God as mentioned in numerous videos and also props to Sam for wearing God is greater shirt in one video. It is good to know when I watch your videos, I have a peace of mind knowing it is going to be a clean show. I was actually looking into going to Dice Con but saw that it is already sold out...but anyway keep up the great work have a great new year Tom, Sam and Zee and God Bless!

I love how antagonistic these three amigos can be to each other - captivating, if slightly uncomfortable, chemistry. 

[dipdoggames]

I love these top 10s. You guys are great. Thanks for all the work, and play, you guys put into these videos.

+The Dice Tower - Tom, after watching a couple dozen of your videos over the last few months and seeing the very nice evolution of your recording area, I have to commend you for making simple, tasteful choices in your organization and the GeekChic tables are all wonderful. If I may nit pick just a hair, please look closely at your shelves. The second tier shelves are offset by an inch or so. The seams and shelves don't line up. Your key-light brings that seam over shoulder into viewer focus whenever you speak. Perhaps it's just my OCD nature, but since you've made such great strides to improve your set, it is a distraction that catches my eye every time I watch one of your recent videos. 

Last thought, Zee and Sam are both great and I'm very happy to hear you're working on bringing Zee on as an employee. Zee's natural humor should be encouraged as it adds a lot to the entertainment of the videos that he participates in. 

[ayahoo]

sam I do like the way you talk about your pick before you give the name of the game it makes it a lot more fun to watch.

It’s 2020. I’m watching this in anticipation of a glut of top 10’s from DT that will be coming in the next couple of weeks. Wanted to go back and see how many games I’ve actually played from these lists over the past 5 years.

[charlespolenzani]

Merry Christmas Tom & Family! (and to you two as well Zee & Sam) Merry Christmas EVERYONE!

[MisterHand]

Merry Christmas everyone. Really enjoy the videos. I check here first before buying.

[thekevinhwang]

Love your videos that you do together. Thanks for posting these.

[CalebSmithBAM]

So I don't know if this was new thing, or if I've just been missing lists, but I love the "Near Miss" bit at the end. That was great to get the Honorable mentions, it gave more of a sense that there are many, many good games to play, and these were just the stand outs.

Okay that HTC Vive commercial was awesome. That's the only time I have intentionally watched a whole ad on YouTube. They dressed a due up as Sagat from SFII and tried to convince people to box him.

[mrbrianparker]

Most entertaining as usual. We are drowning in great games, how on earth do we keep up?

[rbrandneuroth]

Sam nailed it with Run, Fight, or Die!!! My game of the year. The tension when you have to pull off the most unprobable roll...EPIC. So fun.  Great thematic flavor.  Character powers and survivor cards add great individuation between players.  

[bearcatpanda]

Merry Christmas! So excited to see this one.

[MabiVSGames]

I really enjoy your guy's channel! I've bought many games that you have reviewed and recommended. Keep doing what you're doing! We'll be watching, =D

I guessed 9 out of Tom's 10, 5 for Sam and 4 for Zee - with Sam it's sometimes hard to tell what he really likes (I felt the Miami Dice on Five Tribes wasn't to enthusiastic from his side) and Zee really does put some obscure, unknown games on his lists ^^ (I do love Port Royal though!) Great list as always!
