We've been a little bit quiet over the last few weeks after a big trip to the US for Dice Tower West 2024 - but we've battled through the jetlag now so we're back! We had the opportunity to play some interesting older and newer board games that were all new to us so we thought we'd talk about some of those in a video. Here it is!
Thank you to all of the wonderful joeyfam for your continued support of the channel, and for making the "Outback" a fantastic place to be. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a game, a chat, or a Tim Tam ;)

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.

![Going to Tokyo Game Market? Dont be like us.
On our third trip to Tokyo Game Market, and in a new location, we made a few rookie mistakes that we thought wed document in the interest of helping you avoid them if youre headed to the convention! We had the best time though, and wed encourage you to get to this fantastic convention at least once (especially if you love trick taking games!)
