2023 has been an INCREDIBLE year of games and we were sooo spoiled for choice that we decided to split our best of lists into smaller, filler or family style games, and a second list that will be all of the heavy euros (we played so many this year!) We hope you enjoy this list and it gives you some inspiration for some holiday games to share with friends and family.

Thanks for watching! :) 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.
