We've had a chance to play with a hand-made prototype of the CoB Special Edition! Here we provide some thoughts about our favourite components, our least favourite, and whether or not it's worth the upgrade. Did you back this one? What do you think so far? Thanks for watching! A&M

All of the review and preview content on our channel is unpaid and our channel is supported by our wonderful YouTube members, the "joeyfam." Thank you for being part of our journey.

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.
