We're finally here - the last video of the year and it's a big one about big games! The bigger box / euro board games with the type of rulebooks that require at least a cuppa (or two) and a good player reference! We love heavier games and we're excited to take you through our picks for 2024. The latter half of the year was STACKED with the bigger games and so many of these are not just new for this list, but new to the channel! As our final video for 2024, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who continues to support us. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season, A&M xoxo

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.
