I feel like Camilla was making a top 10 games that deserve more love, Tom was making a top 10 game changers, and Chris was actually making a list of games that should be mentioned at least once in the BGG top 10. Loved the conversation as always!

[cromatoast]

Every time Camilla names her next game, you can see Tom die a little on the inside. 🤣

[natecress]

This Top10 was like a game of Root. 3 different factions doing something completely different together in the same space. I loved it!

[felipeg]

This top 10 is such a good idea! I even think it has year-end potential. Would love to hear what Zee's, Mike's, and Roy's picks are for the top 10 as well.

[fredmcmack]

I sort of get Camilla’s argument to get more approachable games into the top 10, but it really felt like she made a list of best gateway games instead.

[foxbear]

Only watched the intro so far, but I feel like this might be one of my most favorite TDT Top 10 lists ever!! I love how each person explained their thought process regarding how to approach the list, and I love the insight on how people view "highly rated games" in general. We'll see how well it comes through for me.

[kevinwallace]

The only game that stands out that wasn’t mentioned is Concordia. Definitely deserves a top 10 spot.

[randalladkins]

Would love to see Zee, Roy, and Mike do this list as well! :)

[beakerkell]

I appreciated Chris' album analogies! They were really well thought out.

Another great list everyone!

[robscarpelli]

I appreciated Chris Yi’s album references. Going from Beatles to Metallica, right on.

[dylannorthrup]

Camilla clearly was making an entirely different list… should have been tipped off by her initial statement that she had no idea what rank they were currently on BGG. Top 10 games that deserve to be ranked in the BGG top 10… games that are objectively the best of the best, in her opinion - and she’s making a “recommendations for new gamers” list apparently… then picking mostly obscure games that are far from the best of their kind. Don’t get me wrong, I think she picked some good games - I’d agree with Quacks of Quedlinburg, and I suspect if I played Destinies I would also agree (Chronicles of Crime is up there). I do like Obscurio, but I’m not sure if it’s quite top 10.

To be fair, I haven’t played all the games, but of the others listed here, I definitely agree with Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, Azul, Root, Caverna, Viticulture, Wingspan, Codenames, the Crew, and probably even Magic the Gathering. I haven’t played Dominion, but we have been loving Thunderstone Quest, and that definitely deserves to be up there, so the classic deck-builder makes sense.

Love Tom chucking his phone @ 25:06, I yearn to do this every day, Lol😄

5 - AC/DC - Back to Black
4 - Pink Floyd - The Wall
3 - Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication
2 - Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
1 - Led Zeppelin - IV

BGG should have some sort of Hall of Fame where gateway games reign supreme. They may not be as refined as the newer ones but they are less daunting to newbies and bring more people to the hobby than any flashy, overproduced box of plastic bits. BGG rankings as well as Dice Tower top 100s, are often disproportionately represented by the cult of the new.

[Shelf_Help_ca]

Chris is such an amazing addition to the team. Always love what he has to say. Pure class.

[boboy]

A Mt. Rushmore of board games, the forefathers of modern board games. Agricola, Catan, Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride are my four.

[TheAmazingYeti]

I feel that Camila made a different list than the other two.. It is a great personal list for welcoming games to the hobby. I am just not sure it aligned with the title of the video unfortunately.

[FelipeRodrigues-vjzb]

I highly disagree with Camilla that the top 10 on BGG should be welcoming games for beginners. That's like saying Transformers should be in the top 10 of IMDB instead of The Godfather. When I started on the hobby I found out that the best way to enter it is to ask for recommendations of light games and just play them, not to play the best ranked on BGG.

[codainlaw]

I never, ever comment on Dice Tower videos (though I’ve watched almost every single one of them) but I must say… Chris your comparison of games to albums was amazing. I can totally see how you tied your picks to the albums. It was so thoughtful and on the money.

I’d like to propose a series of videos where Chris just ties classic albums to games. I’d pay to watch that.

Well done. Loved this list.

[alexvalentine]

Chris as a music fan I gotta say the album references had me repeatedly pointing at my phone and agreeing aloud. I know those won't land with many viewers but I appreciated them big time 👍 creative way to lend more insight on your list
