We'll let you in on a little secret... while we LOVE our heavy euros, it brings us so much more joy to make this list of the best small box / family board games of 2024! These are the games that bring our family and friends so much joy, these are the games that make gamers out of the hobby-curious :) These games deserve all of the recognition for standing out in a very strong year for accessible games. These are our top picks, what are yours? A&M xx

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.
