We love gems of the past as much as new hot titles - and we noticed some similarities between these two that we've been playing so much recently. They are brain burn-y trick-taking fun. We hope you enjoy this quick rundown of Stick 'Em and Chasing Shadows.
Happy MONDAY!!!

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.
