A Board Gamer's Guide to Melbourne, Australia
465Melbourne, Australia - the city that we have both called home for over a decade. It's where we met, and we still love exploring this wonderfully diverse and vibrant city together. We hope you enjoy seeing Melbourne through our eyes, as we take you through a small fraction of some of our favourite things and places to see (with a board gaming lens of course :)).

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.
