Are you tired of feeling like a wretched human being? Do you want to prove to yourself (and your friends) that you're capable of achieving greatness? Or if not greatness, then just becoming someone moderately respectable? US TOO. We've been hard at work in Vindication - gaining honor on an adventure of self-discovery through exploring and combat, all with the help of relics and companions! Join us while we unpick our feelings about this game, and whether or not it might be a game for you.
All of our reviews and previews are unpaid, and our channel is made possible by our YouTube channel members. Thank you for allowing us to continue to do what we love!

Thanks for stopping by for our review of Vindication! 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.
