It feels like a lifetime ago in YouTube years that we covered the wonderful and very thematic game Distilled. Well Paverson Games is back with their follow-up title, Luthier! In this heavier game you are still an artisan but this time you're turning your skills to crafting fine instruments. The game has blind bidding worker placement, with area majority, and a very healthy dose of brain-burning resource management. We hope you enjoy this early preview of the game and how it comes together.
Note: Prototype game featured, art, components & rules subject to change. This is an unpaid preview and as with all of our content, consists of our honest thoughts and opinions.

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.
