Small Talk's Back for a Special Episode!!! + 3 Campaign/Chapter-Style Board Games We're Playing
307We've been thinking that It's time we got back to the couch! So this week we filmed a special episode of Small Talk, where we chat about some random goings-on (as usual) but also reflect on the unusual amount of travel we did this year to different conventions around the world. We then finish in a Small Talk tradition, by talking through three new-to-us games that we've been playing in the background. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel :)
Happy Monday & have a great week ahead,
A&M

49:22 Wrap up
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.
