You're a politician with a bright future and the best of intentions (or at least, intentions)... will your path be to follow your heart? Or follow popular opinion to win the resources that you need most? How quickly will you lose sight of what you believe for the promise of greater control & ultimate dominance? SHASN is a political playground of area control where the choices you make always involve some kind of trade-off... what will you agree to to win?

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review of SHASN. 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? ❤🏳️🌈🇦🇺
