Hit or Miss? Revisiting our Most Anticipated Board Games of 2023

IS IT APRIL ALREADY?! We are a third of the way through 2024 and while we await more fresh releases we’ve been playing and reflecting on our most anticipated games of last year. How right were we in our predictions? Did the games play how we expected them to? Are they still in our collection? (Spoiler alert: some haven’t even delivered!)
Join us on this reflective journey back into time…
Thanks for watching as always, and thank you to all of the support from our joeyfam that allow us to continue making videos together 🙂 🙂 🙂

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.
