Got through a lot of games last week! Featuring some lighter card games as we were out with friends, and those types are super easy to play at a bar. Finished our Regicide Legacy campaign - feeling emotional! Had a crack at the mode you can play post-campaign and it’s decent!
Made our final conclusions on Forest Shuffle OG vs Dartmoor version after playing both this week 😬

Can a civilization game deliver meaningful strategy in under an hour? Rising Cultures from Capstone Games might pull it off.
In this review, I take a look at this fast-playing 2-player civilization game featuring asymmetric factions, engine building, military competition, and clever card management. The real standout for me is how differently each civilization plays—especially Egypt and the Abbasid Caliphate, which completely change the feel of the game from one session to the next.
I’ll cover:
* Gameplay overview
* Asymmetric faction design
* Egypt’s Nile economy mechanics
* Replayability
* Cognitive skills practiced through play
* Final thoughts and recommendations
If you enjoy civilization games but don’t always have 3–4 hours available, Rising Cultures offers a surprisingly deep experience in a much tighter package.

It's time to go and find our next 6 months worth of amazing Asian games from Tokyo Game Market Spring 2026. We've gone deep into the rabbithole and once again we want to share our research into the games we're most excited about.
REMEMBER THOUGH - we haven't played any of these titles! And the rules are mostly in Japanese! So buy at your own risk but mostly, have a fantastic time finding some gems that speak to you and your gaming group.
Come say hi if you see us!

Here's some helpful links below. Links to the official Game Market pages are below the timestamps and it is here you can find the links to reservation forms. But be warned these do close randomly, and it's easiest to use if you are able to translate the page from your browser!
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.
