If you've ever had the pleasure of visiting Japan and rummaging through shelves and shelves of second-hand games, you'll know that it's not always easy to find what you're looking for. AND if you've been to Japan in the last decade, someone probably told you to be on the lookout for "String Railway." Or perhaps you've been at a convention where someone has whipped out "Eye My Favorite Things" only to tell you once you're enamored that in fact you can't get it...anywhere. OK so both of these examples were pretty personal (Amy here) so I was very excited to hear that both of these titles are getting a reprint. We hope this video gives you a good sense of whether or not these quirky, party-style titles are for you. Thanks for watching!

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.
