I hope you’ve had your weet-bix/weetabix because it’s going to be hard yakka to get this community centre pushed past all of these boulders and across your board! Use the limited worker placement spots to get things done around your farm; create more fields, plant some seeds and round up some sheep. Then spend spend spend and make it happen, because if you don’t, the inflation is harsh in these parts and the costs only go up each round! Oh, and the CARDS. Love them or hate them, they’re going to make a difference…

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review of Hallertau. 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. Are you #teamthinker or #teamthemer? ❤🏳️🌈🇦🇺
