Hegemony is one of our favourite recent big box board games - stretching what a board game can be, and how to seamlessly integrate education into a fun experience. Well now that same team are back with the follow-up: World Order! We weren't sure what to expect but hope that our game experiences help you assess whether it's a game for you. Thanks for watching as always! 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.

![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!)

Helpful phrases in Japanese for TGM

4. Thank you: ありがとうございます (Arigatou gozaimasu)
