Tom Vasel Zee Garcia, and Mike DiLisio finish up looking at their top 90 games of all time that aren't their top 10 games of all time. Or in other words, here's another chunk of 10 of the greatest board games ever made by man, animal, or machine on this planet. Numbers 20-11 will shock you, confuse you, and perhaps even increase your general knowledge of the United States Tax Code. There is nothing to lose, so why not join in as these folks strap in, start their engines, and race to the end of the line, and end in position number 11. No Tom, I'm not doing anything weird, why do you ask?
Tom Vasel's Top 100 Games of All Time. Mike DiLisio, bravissimo, sporadically board but never pianissimo. Zee Garcia, voice of the people. The moment has finally come. The final segment of the Top 100 Games of All Time. Sit back, relax, and get ready to rumble.
Tom Vasel, Zee Garcia, and Mike DiLisio take a look at their top 100 games of all time, the games that stand heads and shoulders above the competition, games that could crush games 90-81 in a street fight with such ease, they would move up the ranks to Class A heroes immediately and maybe even be taken into consideration for Class S. Nothing can stop these games. Nothing at all. Until they cover their top 20 games of all time.
Tom Vasel, Zee Garcia, and Mike DiLisio take a look at their top 100 games of all time, this time, doing their best Casey Kasem as they go over the Top 40. Also, did you know that Casey Kasem was the voice of Shaggy from nearly every Scooby Doo series from 1969 until 2009? That's an impressive tenure in a voice role. Where are we? Oh yeah, we're talking about board games. Mike Garcia, Zee Vasel, and Tom DiLisio go continue about board games. Afterwards, maybe I'll watch some Scooby Doo.
Tom Vasel, Zee Garcia, and Mike DiLisio start the second half of their Top 100 Games of All Time, ranging from the Royal Game of Ur to any game that came out in the last ten seconds, or even future games that haven't been invented yet. OF ALL TIME.
