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.

This week is a HUGE week for game previews so we're happy to take some time out just to catch up with you all - it feels like so long since the last Small Talk episode! It was also a big week visiting the mailbox, with so many new games arriving, as well as some postcards which always make us smile. Have a glorious week ahead, A&M xx β€
