    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.

    My most anticipated (former & continued) GLOW-UP 100% has to be Y'ALL & THIS channel as it grows!
    I remember your very first videos - I always felt that you (& others) were (& still are) breathing much-needed new life into this community through your infectious positivity, your pleasantly relaxed 'tea-time-chat' format and playful chemistry.
    Thank you both for consistently being your naturally wonderful selves.

      Though I confess I do miss some of the looser off-the-cuff banter and short tangents from the earlier (less structured) videos.
      Super entertaining when you guys make one-another giggle.

    Im excited for the Cubitos Expansion to finally hit retail. Big fan of the base game and who doesnt need more dice?

      Same! And the colors they chose for the new dice are very pleasing

    Super pumped for Obsession, Nucleum, and breaking into Innovations. Not to mention how invested I am in Veiled Fate. An amazing list to get excited for the coming year!

    My mom and I love Décorum. I will definitely keep an eye out for the expansion!

    My brother and I have already contributed to the Obsession expansion Kickstarter. Looking forward to being able to address bad luck in guests or other areas.
    Threads of Fate sounds amazing. I'll have to look into it!

    Honey Buzz: Fall Flavors will also absolutely deliver this year. I cannot wait to share it with you!

    We are currently loving Threads of Fate! (Got our butts kicked by part 2 last night...). If you haven't played it yet, we love love their The Light In The Mist! So fun and we loved being able to sit a do a little or a lot depending on our mood!

    I've been waiting for so long for the Veiled Fate expansion! Got so excited when i first caught wind of it. Love the game and will buy right away!

    • @JacobPorterLadder
      @JacobPorterLadder 5 місяців тому

      Myself as well. From the playtesters that I know who's tried it say it's pretty awesome. I wish I had given it a try 😢

  • @melblack7412
    @melblack7412 5 місяців тому +1

    I wish we could get Obsession here! Hopefully with the expansion there will also be more availability for the base game? Also looking forward to the Heat expansion. Nusfjord sounds really fun!

  • @RobertHovakimyan55
    @RobertHovakimyan55 5 місяців тому +2

    Woohoo, Veiled Fate! I hope you enjoy the expansion(s) 😊

    Solid video as always. For me, some of my most anticipated include Santorini Pantheon Edition (surprised this didn't at least make your honorable mentions), Tang Garden Seasons (and its accompanying big box), Space Base: Genesis, and more content for Darwin's Journey!

  • @theunamiable
    @theunamiable 5 місяців тому +1

    The Australia expansion does make me more tempted to get Nucleum.

    Decorum Moving Out will be a must buy for us. Decorum has been our to to two player co-op for the past year now. That super cool Ticket to Ride Legacy component though. :). IYKYK

    I'm a huge Snowdonia fan and keep coming so close to pulling the trigger on Obsession.

  • @JohnClem56
    @JohnClem56 5 місяців тому

    Well... now I have to look into Veiled Fate and Calimala. And I was already interested in Heat. Thanks! I think...

    I'm wondering when you refer to games that are light, do you win usually?

      The Escalation expansion is included with the crowdfunded version at all levels.

    Obsession how difficult is it? It looks so unique 😊 and publisher service is phenomenal

    • @arogance1
      @arogance1 5 місяців тому

      Its not difficult to learn at all, but one of those games that will let you play around with different strategies in each game. One of my favourites

    • @terhuneb
      @terhuneb 5 місяців тому

      I don't appreciate super heavy games (anything much over low 3.x/5 complexity) and I would say Obsession is not too bad to learn. It's certainly not easy to get into, especially when you start adding in expansion content, but you shouldn't dismiss it if you don't like heavy games.
      Or maybe you're referring to difficulty as in how hard it is to play well? It's a hard game to play well, but you'll never be completely cut out if you make a bad move.

  • @JosephFlemming
    @JosephFlemming 5 місяців тому

    I really hope they get Snowdonia fixed up properly because there’s an astonishing amount of errata in the Deluxe Master set and even the Isle of Man “fix” expansion. I hardly even want to play the game anymore … maybe I should just stick the base game until I know I can trust the rulebook.

    @stevegeorge7773 5 місяців тому

    It is really offensive, for Nucleum, not to even acknowledge on the board Canberra which was a trading and pasterial location at the time of the games time period. So disappointing and frankly it is, as a Aussie (like yourselves) crap.
    I love Obsession. But annoyed the tile, exclusive, for the Dice Tower fundraiser isn't being sold by Dan. One will have to wait to get this, to ensure all components for the game are in the box, via BGG store. Blaaaaa.

    Glow-up? Never heard that term before. Is that a peculiarly Australian expression?

      @PablowingUrMind 5 місяців тому +1

      Americans use it as well. At least millenials and younger. Not sure about older generations.
