Are you a #teamthinker mechanics first? or a #teamthemer story all the way? or perhaps you #refusetochoose?

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review! 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 in our reviews about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
