Our Most Played Game of 2023 is PvP & ALMOST Perfect | The Battle of Versailles Review
250Some of our favourite games have taught us something new about the world - and with The Battle of Versailles we got to learn so much about one of the most important moments in fashion. In 1973 the world of fashion was changed when the US impressed the French (and the world) by winning a runway battle. In this game you play as either the US or France and relive the competition through head-to-head card play from asymmetric decks. This one quickly became our most played game of 2023!

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.
