What a variety last week! Continued to explore the Homeland expansion for Root, taught Dune: Imperium - Uprising to a friend who wanted to play since he likes the Dune universe, and also had some great co-op experiences with Bomb Busters and Regicide Legacy.
Check out my teach and playthrough video of the solo-only 18-card micro card game Ancient Realm by designer Steven Aramini and publisher Button Shy Games.
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.
