His list was great. You can tell he spends a lot of time with friends and family at the table and has the passion for it. Hopefully this won't be the last time he stops by the studio.

The south park girls mention they watched Dice Tower videos to learn boardgames in that one episode if you didn't catch it when you watched it.

It was great to hear from a new voice on these top 10s. Trey brought a very different point of view to board games, due to his creative inclinations and past experience with role playing games, which made his picks interesting to watch and surprising to you all. I hope to see more varied voices participating with the Dice Tower crew in this and other ways in the future.

Great top ten! Proud of the Dice Tower for having the pull to attract a guest like Trey, and even more so for Mike and Zee turning on their comedy A game for the occasion. Great stuff!

Trey Parker on Dice Tower, my mind is blown! That was terrific, Trey's choices were fun and well explained. It's gonna take me a while to process these two worlds colliding. Really enjoyed how comfortable and casual the video seemed. Didn't try to cater to Trey and his celebrity, which would have been easy to do. Trey was refreshing, just an average board gamer that enjoyed the chance to talk about them with like minded folks. "Butters is a real person, he's one of our gamers" is a sentence that is gonna rattle around my head for a long, long time. Best video ever!! I would like to hear Trey tell us what he imagines would be the favorite game or games of each of the boys on South Park. An episode of the boys playing a board game with a traitor element that either Cartman leans into insanely or we get surprised to find it is butter is the traitor and is absurdly sneaky. Obviously Trey and the SP crew would know exactly how to make that simple idea hilarious. Anything to keep two of my favorite interests interwoven will keep me smiling, thanks again for that vid. Did that really just happen??

I really enjoyed the format of having a guest run through their top 10 while the rest of you weigh in on it.

I love that Trey started to write down his Catchupalooza list right upon seeing the others' guesses. :D

Loved this vid and list! Such a great guy, it would be amazing to play games with him (or any of the DT crew)!

Zee’s face at 18:19 when “Fury of Dracula” comes bubbling up in his cerebrum is fantastic.

If I was Roy I’d be geeking out for weeks that Trey Parker knew my name and liked my top ten picks. South Park is one of the greatest shows ever created!

I can't say anything more than what's already been said. This was absolutely awesome from beginning to end. I wasn't expecting a list of Monopoly, UNO, and Scrabble, because I knew from the board game references in South Park that Trey was definitely a designer board gamer, but even still not only his list, but his knowledge of board gaming in general really blew me away. Again, simply awesome.

I loved this video. Not only because I have been a South Park fan for 20 something years at this point, but that this was just an awesome way to introduce me to new games from someone outside of the dice tower. I loved the videos with Ruel, Jeremy, and the many other "outsiders" for the same reason. Great job all!

It's fascinating that Trey as a professional storyteller likes games that the story or arch of the game really comes through. It makes so much sense in retrospect.

LOVE this. I have always enjoyed Zee's "off the beaten path" approach to games that he enjoys, and this took it to 11! You can tell they have taste that is cut from the same cloth. Thanks to Trey for making the trip... and for the courage to highlight games he enjoys regardless of their mainstream appeal.

Don't pass on this video solely because you are not a South Park fan, you'll miss out on a fantastic watch. For us massive SP fans, this was a double treat! Kudos.

Trey is, and always has been, an anomaly among celebrities. Most others would be phony, self-centered, and too busy trying to impress upon everyone just how awesome they are.

This is pretty awesome, because in several South Park Episodes you see boxes and games either being played or in the background, its awesome!

Wow the cross over I never knew I wanted, but man that was awesome. Trey’s favourite games are the sand box and games you create your own narrative; could Trey possibly be in on creating his own South Park themed sand box game? That could be something special.

I love how normal and nerdy this is....just talking about games for the love of games. I was specking video games but stayed through the whole video even though I don't play board games a lot...like them, just don't have many to play with. Cool video.

I don't think I've nad this much fun watching an hour-long video on YT ever before. It's so cool watching people who are so passionate about their hobby.

I've been singing Summit's praises for years! Glad to see it get some love. Fantastic game where the story emerges from the gameplay every time!

Loved this discussion. What a great guest! Thanks for bringing Trey into the studio.

This was a fantastic format to have a guest top 10 and make them the center, but also having a great friendly conversation and guessing the picks! Would love to see more like this

Great video, I love the way you all reacted to each pick, sort of like a hidden reveal. Great entertainment value and a willing person tp in depth describe a game with describing too much.

Really glad to see this come to fruition. I bet everyone at the studio was excited and Trey looked like he had a good time sharing his list. I hope Trey was able to squeeze in time for hanging out with the crew, swooning over the library and getting some gaming in. Thank you all for making this happen!

I was literally typing to say “I bet Trey would like Xia” (w embers expansion of course) and Tom asked him if he had played it! Trey, if you happen to read this, please check it out and make sure to get the embers of a forsaken star expansion! It’s very very similar to Merchants and Marauders but has a lot of unique aspects as well. Cheers!

This was probably one of the best Dice Tower episodes I've seen. Trey was genuine and honest. The hosts gave him the floor to talk. Loved the format focusing and commenting on one person's list.

Holy crap. As if I needed another reason to love Trey Parker. This is easily my favorite video in Dice Tower's entire catalogue. Awesome stuff, guys.

This was definitely one of the best 10 countdowns. Would love to see more guest celebrities, who are so passionate about board gaming as Trey, talking about their picks. Everybody brought their A game and it was reflected in the casual and lively discussion sprinkled with punches of humor.

Trey seems to be my kind of board gamer. Fantastic list.

Just absolute proof that KZread is the new place for "celebrities." The fact that Trey Parker is such a huge fan of all these guys just proves that. "Celebrities" aren't known by EVERYONE anymore (e.g. Will Smith, Warren Beatty), but, rather, are "celebrities" within the genre that they target. Examples include the guys from RedLetterMedia (who have become SO BIG that even Rian Johnson was tweeting about them before the release of The Last Jedi), Linus from LinusTechTips (who is so well known now and has done so well that he has tried creating a platform as an alternative to KZread, called Floatplane, in addition to being known by EVERY TECH COMPANY in existence), and more. These guys are what people call "internet celebrities," but to me, a more appropriate label would be "genre celebrity." For example: RedLetterMedia aren't really known outside the film community; Linus isn't really known outside the tech community; these guys here aren't really known outside the board games community. But these people are now SUCH BIG NAMES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES, that "real famous people" such as Trey Parker here, or Patton Oswald with RLM as well as Macaulay Culkin with RedLetterMedia/AVGNactually go onto THEIR SHOWS, and NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman don't go on Patton's show, Patton' goes on THEIR show. These guys don't go on Trey's show, Trey goes on THEIR SHOW! Sure, Trey may have tossed a reference to these guys into his "Board Girls" episode, but it's not like they went on and did voice acting for the episode: instead, it's the other way around. So yeah, "GENRE CELEBRITIES" is what they should be called, not "INTERNET CELEBRITIES." The meaning is the same: that they aren't really known outside of their viewers. BUT, within their viewer-base, they are as big as they come: to get referenced on *South Park,* one of the biggest shows in history? Or, to get referenced by the people who MAKE *Star Wars,* in the case of Stoklasa/Bauman/Evans? Yeah, they're huge. They're just not huge to EVERYONE like "celebrities" used to be. No more are there Will Smiths, or Warren Beattys, who are popular with EVERYONE. Instead, now, we have celebrities that people follow because they ENJOY THE GENRE that these people represent. Individualism is prevailing. Just like private work contracts are becoming the new thing (e.g. Uber, Etsy, eBay, etc.) , so are smaller, yet more specific, celebrities becoming a thing.

I have no clue wtf they are talking about but I had to keep watching

This is the greatest crossover ever! Thank you so much Trey for coming on the Top 10 show!! This is a real testament to board games and how they can bring different people together.

Super fun list. Glad you were able to do this.

Summit as #1 wow!! Never considered that game before, but will definitely give it a go I think. I have been on the fence about Auztralia for a while, this list may have pushed me over the edge. I love how Trey didn't throw off the feel of the show with his star power, he just fit right in!! Nicely done gentlemen!!
