Top 10 Games We Would Buy At Essen Spiel 2025 🔥
13 oct. 2025
00:53:58
Woooow! We would need to bring extra suitcases if we were going to Essen Spiel 2025... there are SO many great choices that it was hard to settle on our top 10 (and only two crossovers!) These are the picks that we would be excited to line up and buy if we were there - but remember, we haven't played any of these so this is entirely speculation! If you're headed to the con have a fantastic time, and we hope to see you back there one day! A&M
10, OUT OF 10 (Part 20): 😬Uh oh, they're all new titles. We're on a series hamster wheel 🐹
24 sept. 2024
01:10:34
Who would've thought we'd be 200 game ratings in and still be no where near finishing rating our collection. LOL. Most would admit defeat but not us!!! But the classics are off the table during GenCon and Essen Spiel season because we know you're all thinking about what to put on your shopping list. We hope these thoughts are helpful. Thanks for watching this series as always and for your support of the channel. A&M xx
10, OUT OF 10 (Part 19): Amy's broken foot = lots and lots of time for board gaming 😅
28 avr. 2024
00:53:22
I wish there was a good story behind the broken foot. Something like Maggie went into a table flipping rage playing Blokus and the table hit my foot. Or I tripped on a pile of unplayed games and broke my foot. But the boring reality is that I have a stress fracture that won't heal. So I've been quite immobile for the last three months, which has a silver lining - LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE GAMES ON THE SHELF. We might even reach the end of this series. Joking. That will likely never happen.
Happy Monday! Have a wonderful weekend ahead wherever you are and whatever you're doing.
10, OUT OF 10 (Part 18): Teeny tiny Gloomhaven & LORENZO IL MAGNIFICO
01 avr. 2024
00:59:11
Can you believe we're 180 games into this series? It feels like just yesterday when we were making ridiculous promises about getting through our entire board game collection (LOL). This week we're taking a look at three classic puzzle games and one new one... as well as a thoroughly loved classic of ours - Lorenzo il Magnifico, and top of the hotness, Gloomhaven Buttons & Bugs. Enjoy! A&M xx
Top 10 Solo Board Games of All Time | Updated Ranking 2024 (+Amy tries them all!)
25 févr. 2024
01:02:12
After two years and 500 games later, Maggie has updated her top 10 solo games of all time! And to make things interesting she's also taught them all to me with mixed results. So join us while Maggie counts down her best board games to play alone while I try to comprehend playing a game with no witnesses. Lol. Thanks for watching! A&M
10, OUT OF 10 (Part 17): The Hotness vs Le Havre...

We hope this helps you get a better sense for our game preferences, and remember.....
1) ratings are subjective, based on our own individual enjoyment of the game, they're not a judgment on game quality or the likelihood you would feel the same, 2) our game preferences are ever evolving and these may change, 3) we respect and would love to hear your differences of ratings in the comments... that's what makes gaming so fascinating and full of joy. There is something for everyone! 💜
Have a great week ahead, A&M xx

Oooo lucky for our wallets that things have been a little quieter for us on the crowdfunding sites this fortnight so we reduced our list to 5 this week and instead we talk about some new game arrivals! Happiest of Mondays to you all! A&M ❤

Sorry - a correction for around the 36:20 mark; Blue Lagoon is by Reiner Knizia (not Michael Kiesling). Vegas brain!
We are on a burger diet 😬 and have not stopped since we arrived!!! 😴💤 But when in Vegas! This time there's lots of games to talk about (we played soooo many at DTW) but no IAQs. Trying to get back on schedule with the content but hope you enjoy this video in the meantime. Happy Monday wherever you are 💕 A&M
We made it to the US!!!! 😄🇺🇸❤🥳 Sorry that there's no games this week... but we hope you enjoy this quick update about our trip so far, as well as some IAQs. Happy Monday wonderful people A&M

Thanks for stopping by to hear our FAQ and our thoughts on these filler games! 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? ❤🏳️🌈🇦🇺
