We visited Essen Spiel for the first time this year and WOW, what an amazing experience. ๐Ÿฅฐ
We picked up 55 (!!) new board games throughout the convention, and in this sleep deprived video we unpack them and talk through some stories about how and why they ended up in our suitcases!

Note: Please remember we have not yet played most of these games. So our excitement is speculative ๐Ÿ˜€

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.
