Great top ten. What I like about you guys is that you are not all the same and have different tastes and opinions. And can everyone please lay off Sam. He's a real person, who (I can tell from having watched the top ten gaming experiences) loves his job and even comes into the comments to interact with you guys. Most of his picks he did show enthusiasm over and I would rather Sam (and Zee and Tom) be honest about his opinions on games, even if that is perceived as negative, than pretend to like something for the sake of the cameras. tl:dr interesting top ten, even if the genre wasn't everyone's cup of tea. Sam stay just as you are!

I have played 1000s of games of Dominion and in my experience, "just buying the money cards" as a strategy works so rarely. Even in games where you're playing mostly Money strategy, you still are almost always going to want several of the kingdom cards. It's just a matter of not overloading your deck with stop cards. I promise you, I will beat anyone playing a *purely* money strategy at least 90% of the time. Granted, I am an experienced player, but if you play smart, you can usually beat the money player if there are non-terminal actions and/or villages on the board.

Please understand that I'm saying that I'm super good at the game. Rather, I am illustrating that a *purely* money strategy (i.e., silvers, golds, and nothing else at all) is simply not a winning strategy on more than 90% of boards that show up. If you lose to this strategy continually, then you are just buying way too many terminal action cards.

Star Realms is very close to the mechanic in Ascension. The biggest difference is that, instead of attacking the other player, you're attacking monsters and trying to build up more honor than your opponent as you defend the realm. I really like Ascension because each box set of the game has a slightly different mechanic (sorta like how each version of Munchkin is a little different but has the same core mechanic). I love Star Realms, but it doesn't ever change (yeah, the card types in Colony Wars were a little different, but it's the same game mechanicr). You get different and interesting mechanics with each version of Ascension. Their newest version, Ascension X has temporarily taken my top spot from Star Realms as my favorite deck builder.

Money strategy can easily be beat in Dominion. You just have to think about the cards in the supply pool and how you want to use them to get the upper hand and have a more efficient deck. Also to try to hinder your opponent(s) if you can to get their big treasures to come into their hand less often. I can still lose though if my strategy takes too long for it to kick in. With each of game should come at the beginning a plan for how you want to win. There's a ton of variety especially with expansions. Great game. As far as the theme goes it should get a break because it's a euro. Also expansions give it a stronger theme and the cards you decide to have out can give each game a different one.

Deck-building is one of my absolute favorite genres, and I was actually quite pleased to hear the NHL Power Play deck-builder referenced. This game flew waaaaay under the radar, with the style of play and cards coming together to compliment the theme infinitely better than the DC or LOTR versions. Yes I'm biased as a huge hockey fan, but I was able to get several people who only knew the terms "Slap Shot" and "Face-off" into it enough to purchase it for themselves. As always keep up the good work, and great list! P.S I'm always available for counseling Sam... remember, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to making super negative top 10s.

I imagine it's because the theme is fairly off-putting, but I"m kind of surprised Tanto Cuore and Barbarossa weren't even mentioned. Sure, it's got a very heavy anime fanservice theme (and Barbarossa goes into very ecchi territory), but they're both fairly solid deckbuilding games. Tanto is very much like Dominion, but tweaks a few things and often has a way to victory that's not just "get the most expensive point card". Barbarossa copies a few mechanics from Dominion, but the gameplay is pretty significantly different, feeling much more like a war game (and I'm looking forward to seeing how El Alamein mixes things up when the english version comes out next year).

Ironically, by arguing they should play a game whose theme clearly doesn't appeal to them you are doing exactly what PC advocates are mostly accused of - telling other people what to do (or not), that is, interfering in other peoples lives.

That's not to say they shouldn't try to act professionally. But actually, not talking about a game you haven't played is exacly what I would call professional. Maybe they should use Tom's Top 10 of the year caveat ("I haven't played all games..") for every Top 10 video.

The serviceable (if a bitmslapdash) artwork from initial sets of Ascension is most likely due to one person, Eric Sabee. To be fair as well as clear, he personally produced the entirety of card illustrations therein. I wager he was either saving Stoneblade on overhead, a friend of the developers, or perhaps both. While mostly passable to pretty good, following releases expanded their pool of artistic talent beyond just one person, much to the gratitude of the players.

I've been watching Dice Tower videos for years now and the whole reason I own a lot of Sam's top picks (Legendary, Dice Masters, Thunderstone) is because they were recommendations in previous top 10 lists like "most thematic games", or "best fantasy games", etc (from both Sam and Tom, who were really enthusiastic about them), but now to hear that deckbuilding isn't Sam's thing has made me pause. Regardless though, I'm happy for the recommendations because I enjoy these games and their theme. I think these choices are super solid choices that can stand head to head with traditional boardgames based around other central mechanisms. PS, Happy New Year everyone!

I hope they revisit this list soon. Judging from the enthusiasm here I suspect that wont be the case.

We still really enjoy Dominion - easy to explain, lots of variety, easy for newbies (as long as you don't play too many of the newer expansions). Star Realms - good 2p game, quick, easy, has a good computer implementation Paperback - want to get this going, but my family has an aversion to word games. Still need to try Friday and Super Motherload. I'd love to do more w/ the Dice Masters line, but lack of online sales really will be a hindrance there. I actually like the DC line better so am interested in the Green Lantern and Batman lines, though agree the overall War of Light line is pretty limited to that particular set.

I'm honestly surprised by the general level of hostility towards Dominion.

I enjoy copycat. It feels different enough with the worker placement aspect along with the card play.

It doesn't bother me that there are differing levels of enthusiasm for this genre among 3 different people (I mean - it's not like it's their job to make videos and discuss games or anything...) Actually, it can be interesting to have to think about a topic you may not necessarily gravitate towards, and try to come up some new angles you may not have thought about before! So keep up the good works Tom, Sam, and Zee - and three cheers for Super Motherload!!

You can play cards in Marvel Legendary during other players' game. If a player were to gain a wound, one of Soulsword' Colossus commons from Secret Wars volume 2 lets you discard that card instead and draw two cards.

Update on this one guys? Would love to see some more pool/bag building choices too.

I thought the theme of Marvel Legendary (if you play rules-as-written) was that you were all SHIELD sub-directors vying for a promotion by demonstrating that you can direct superheroes better than other players.

Normally I agree with you Sam, but I love Dominion, I agree with you Tom. I've only been playing Dominion for a few months, I'm not an expert and I can see where you play with people who can smoke through the game, wouldn't be fun. Thankfully I haven't been in any games of Dominion like that. I do LOVE Star Realms as well.

Quite surprised that Arctic Scavengers didn't get a mention here - thought it might've at least got a mention at the bottom of Sam's list over Dominion....

Great list. Don't play too many deck builders nowadays but Legendary Marvel/Aliens and Shadowrun Crossfire would be my favorites. Need to try out Super Motherload and Paperback.

Oh! My heart be still -- I love Dominion so much. We have every expansion and the app that randomizes the cards for us hahahahhaha! To each his own I suppose :) Also -- I've never really played the mess out of it, so I haven't been burnt out yet.

If you're planning your next word in Paperback while someone is taking their turn, you're doing it wrong. One of the special abilities limits how many cards another player can pick up at the beginning of their turn. Picking up your cards before it's your turn negates this ability

We always play Marvel: Legendary as its intended semi-coop. Only one person can win, but you all can lose.

Ascension is is an awesome game, for first time players who wanted to get into deck building games. It covers most of the rules of other deck building games. I like the attack on titan deck building game and I hope I can grab street fighters and the DC deck building game.

Great video! I really enjoyed it! I just wonder Dominion made all three lists and no one mentioned Trains, basically same game with a better theme.
