Wow 2025 is half way over and we're well overdue to reflect on our most anticipated games of 2024. It's so interesting to reflect on what we said 18 months ago, and how well that has stacked up in reality. Did the games play how we expected them to? Are they still in our collection? (Persistent spoiler alert: some haven't even delivered!)

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.
