Top 10 Trick Taking Card Games - our BEST as of 2023!
We've been getting more and more into trick taking games, even though neither of us grew up playing them! There's so many to choose from now, and since we have 40 or so in our collection we thought we'd talk through our ranking of them and what makes them so great. We quickly realised the fact that Amy loves more interactive games (as usual) and Maggie was more focused on cracking the puzzles!

01:01:07 Wrap up
Thanks for stopping by for our Top 10 Trick Taking list (as of 2023!) 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.
