Hi everyone! 😄 We're back from Las Vegas and this week we have a recap of our amazing time at Dice Tower West 2023! Honestly, we didn't even expect to make it there this year, but we're so glad we did. We discovered 15 awesome new-to-us board games that we can't wait to share with you all in this extra long video (sorry lol).
It was the con of trick taking games, and we also squeezed in some euros and definitely some "hotness." But you know what made it the best? Meeting so many of you wonderful people! 😊 A big shoutout to everyone who came up to say hi – you really made our experience unforgettable.
We hope you enjoy our recap, and who knows? Maybe we'll bump into each other again at another con somewhere around the world in 2023! 🌍 Stay tuned for more board game content, and thanks again for being such an amazing community. Love A&M x❤️

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
