So glad Zee called out magicians. Someone had to do it.

Andris Slisans December 29, 2022 at 3:48 pm

Extra hope for Fallout LCG could be the fact, that there will be Amazon TV series Fallout next year. Zee, this could be THE YEAR when You are correct!!!

Joseph Flemming December 29, 2022 at 4:29 pm

8:05 I thought he said Elon uprising lol

SuperLkelley December 29, 2022 at 4:33 pm

FYI Aleph Null is the term for the cardinality (size) of the set of all integers. Its is essentially the first (smallest) level of infinity as determined by Gregor Cantor.

Adil Geresu December 29, 2022 at 5:00 pm

Less nonsense will be released (that isn’t from Hasbro). With all the games being released and competing with older tittles I’m expecting less games that you’d rate below a 6.

Wrong Way Wilson December 29, 2022 at 6:04 pm

Aleph Null and Marvel Untied Multiverse are exciting. I love the aesthetic and theme of Aleph Null, I'm a sucker for anything with witchcraft, demons, etc. I think I saw IronHeart and Spiderman 2099 in the pic on the Kickstarter page. Multiverse will be the first Kickstarter I've backed in over a year, fingers crossed for Alligator Loki.

CMON has crazy shipping costs on those comics, if you buy them, buy them in groups to save on shipping.

Mark Beaulieu December 29, 2022 at 6:23 pm

The predictions segment was really good. The three of you have great chemistry. I didn’t get Frosthaven and I’ll probably wait for the digital version but I think it will make the top 100. Or Endless Winter and Heat will. Personally I hope Wayfarers of the South Tigris does since that’s my favorite game this year

Agray Day December 29, 2022 at 6:45 pm

Thanks DT Team! When is the follow up review of predictions from last year?

Fernando December 29, 2022 at 6:49 pm

Hitting the top 1 is difficult with bgg. The amount of votes in the high end required is insane. Maybe 50-100 would be a safer bet for 2022 games and for a new game to top Gloomhaven is near impossible unless they are given more than a year to accumulate

The Old Man December 29, 2022 at 6:56 pm

Please, please give timestamps for the topics.

Jason Bostick December 29, 2022 at 8:18 pm

Zee is likely right on his legal one. Warehouse 13 expansion is running into HUGE issues with commitment and updates.

Lorelie lomaloma December 29, 2022 at 8:25 pm

I’m predicting – hoping actually – that more games will come with standees and offer minis as an add-on. And hoping hoping hoping for regular sized boxes!

phunkysai December 29, 2022 at 8:44 pm

I’m still waiting for someone to basically do Batman Arkham Horror The Board Game.

Leiderg December 29, 2022 at 8:58 pm

Hearthstone was released in 2014 and still hasn't received any physical version, so I doubt Marvel Snap will get one either because of the same reason: Both games have mechanics that would be too hard to do physically, for example cards and locations that multiply/add or copy cards, you would need several if not dozens of copies of EACH card for them to work and the ones that have random effects would be impossible to adapt. It would also be a mess to track all the value changes constantly occurring with cards gaining and losing power or costs, sometimes that's doubled or multiplied, and it's not only cards in play but also in your hand and even in the deck, how would you keep track of that? The amount of upkeep would be insane. The point is, even though they are supposed to be card games in reality they can only work in digital form.

LegoAssassin098 December 29, 2022 at 10:15 pm

I feel like Solo fluxx would have been really great if it had been released 2 years ago.

LegoAssassin098 December 29, 2022 at 10:17 pm

That's an awful cover for that Big box

sirgeekcsp December 30, 2022 at 12:07 am

FYI There is a literal plug and play 3d printer out there – The Bambu X1CC.

You can be up and running in an hour

Dan Durkin December 30, 2022 at 1:04 am

Camel Up is not a racing game. It's a party betting game. The original is a 2014 release and SdJ winner. Enjoy!

Chris Is Board December 30, 2022 at 1:25 am

I wonder if people in the chat know they're not forced to purchase marvel games.

S K December 30, 2022 at 1:45 am

would recommend People Make Games' videos investigating some of roblox's questionable business practices, especially as they relate to children

MrScrawnjuan December 30, 2022 at 5:32 am

Only 250 people go to the retreat, and 201 tickets are already pre-sold?

Shaun Hughes December 30, 2022 at 9:56 am

I believe Tom is right about Frosthaven. Regardless of whether it’s good or not, it should have already broken top 2000 by now, if not the top 1000. A decent amount of people on BGG predicted Oathsworn would be in the top 10 by the end of 2022, yet here we are, not even in the top 100. A lot of predictions tend to be wishful thinking, and that’s completely fine.

andrewnr December 30, 2022 at 10:37 am

Predicting that Le Havre will get a deluxe version, much in the style of Castles of Burgundy. 🤞

Megan Love December 30, 2022 at 12:20 pm

If wonderlands war is at 212 then it’s been climbing pretty steadily. It barely hit 400 in mid October. And wonderlands war is set to be released in summer so I think it will break top 100 once more people get their hands on it

Mike Bollen December 30, 2022 at 1:11 pm

Top 10 Games that make you say "This is different" please!

Seth Allison December 30, 2022 at 1:44 pm

I know Zee wants FFG to do fallout lcg i would like TI themed one a lot to work with. or any other game I think it could happen since they have building a lore bible.

Steven Amamoto December 30, 2022 at 3:33 pm

I predict that the apocalypse will occur leading to an increase in sales of post-apocalypse themed games as the Covid epidemic lead to a run on sales of Pandemic.

SeaRose December 30, 2022 at 10:32 pm

The shorter legacy games that can be played after could be a new thing…"customizable games"
Sounds very fun.

3jwood8 December 30, 2022 at 11:36 pm

I think the new 2022 Garphill/Shem Phillips Game, Wayfarers of the South Tigris, will hit the Top 100.

Jeremiah Custar December 31, 2022 at 3:12 am

No predictions for Marvel Zombies?

Edward Brost December 31, 2022 at 5:42 am

Frosthaven will be at least top 5 this time next year. A Tommy Boy guarantee for sure.

Edward Brost December 31, 2022 at 5:47 am

Heat will for sure hit the top 100.

Mário Sousa December 31, 2022 at 12:11 pm

As a solo gamer, I would love to agree with Mike's solo game prediction but I don't think that is going to happen. I agree it is part of the hobby now, no longer just a tiny nich; but there is still too much backlash at solo gamers, for solo modes in games and things like that.

Henri Kwakman December 31, 2022 at 3:34 pm

1:25 is too long an intro

Beorn the Bear December 31, 2022 at 4:32 pm

IDK I think one of Endless winter, Heat, Wayfarers of the South Tigris, and Wonderlands war will hit the top 100 but who knows maybe not

Hermes December 31, 2022 at 9:38 pm

DC Champions would get all my money.

Dismal-26 January 1, 2023 at 8:14 am

47:00 deep rock galactic did something like this, they released STL files for the minis ahead of time

Éric Gélinas January 1, 2023 at 4:30 pm

My prediction is Ark Nova will hit #1 this year. The expansion will give it a bump.

pikkdogs January 3, 2023 at 5:15 pm

I think there's too many games coming out now to have one big blockbuster. Also, society now is becoming so divided that I don't know if people will want to play the same game any more.

My predictions:

1. CMON continues to have a bad year. Marvel United 3 gets a lower number of backers than 2.
2. Kids versions of popular games will continue to come out.
3. A Japanese designer wins the Spiel or a similar award.

Evan Strong January 3, 2023 at 9:28 pm

I honestly think a huge part of the appeal of Gloomhaven/Frosthaven is that theres no minis for the monsters.

Cailin January 4, 2023 at 3:04 pm

If we're doing wishful thinking reprints, I'm gonna say Cinque Terre and Spheres of Influence will get reprinted. Lol

Kirk W. January 5, 2023 at 10:19 am

Prediction: 
Revive will hit the top 100

Keith Wheeler Books January 6, 2023 at 1:04 am

I predict that The Dice Tower’s 2023 KS will surpass last years sales.

Efrain Rivera January 7, 2023 at 9:44 pm

BGG Rating System Sucks!

Efrain Rivera January 7, 2023 at 9:58 pm

Prediction: Puerto Rico's redesign will take it back to the Top 10.

Efrain Rivera January 7, 2023 at 10:05 pm

I want to see a Fallout Shelter Expansion.

Efrain Rivera January 7, 2023 at 10:07 pm

Prediction: King of Tokyo will finally make the minis.

Liz Boccolini January 11, 2023 at 4:22 pm

Mike I'm hoping rural juror was a 30 Rock reference.
