What a whirlwind trip to Vegas! After a quick adjustment to the timezone (thanks EDM music at the Sphere for keeping us up) we were straight into the gaming this year with friends from near and far. We were able to meet a lot of great people and also FINALLY collaborated with the wonderful Brother's Murph. We hope you enjoy this recap and first impressions of 30 new to us games!
Thanks for watching and happy Monday :)
PS. A special thank you to the joeyfam who always make this particular convention extra special. Until next year!

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.
