2023 has been an INCREDIBLE year of games and we were sooo spoiled for choice that we decided to split our best of lists into smaller, filler or family style games, and a second list that will be all of the heavy euros (we played so many this year!) We hope you enjoy this list and it gives you some inspiration for some holiday games to share with friends and family.

Thanks for watching! :) A&M x

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.

  • It's fun to watch a couple with such a wide variety of tastes in games. I enjoyed this list very much. Cheers!

    re: Amy joking about the Everdell animals building a rocket ship to go to space: this basically describes First Rat, which is also a fantastic light-weight game <3
  • Ummm I would totally have a slumber party in your game room! To see Nebula box glow but mostly to feel so much joy being surrounded by so many games! 😂❤
  • OMG< best list ever. I have been wondering why most top tens don't do this, wait until later in the list to discuss crossovers. Just makes the conversation feel more special and organic. I have so often found that the second person gives a more deflated presentation of the game if its already been lauded over earlier.
  • What a fantastic list. I don't own any of these. But Fit to Print has been on my list for months. Now I've added Art Society for sure. And I def plan to learn more about Forest Shuffle and Point City. I look forward to seeing the big box list next.
  • Great countdown, TT. Perspectives, Knarr and SkyTeam were absolute standouts for me this year. Got my purchase pen out for Point City, Witchcraft, Art Society and Fit To Print, so thanks for the reviews! As always, love your enthusiasm for this hobby. I look forward to more content from you in 2024.
  • Love the theme of best little or family games! As space gets tight on shelves, having fun small games with good choices is really important. Thanks for the great suggestions! Hope all is well with the two of you!
  • @proptartmn
    So many games I’ve not heard of! Can’t wait to explore. Thanks for the list!
  • Hi! Thanks for this video! I love your suggestions. I discovered your YouTube Channel this year and it’s such a great discovery!!
  • @antfungames
    Such an interesting variety of games. Nice list!
  • @taipan2021
    i pre-ordered Maggie's #1 a month ago and im excited about playing it cos i really like resist but i have to wait until after xmas to get it in the mail
  • @gemmaking1824
    Its so good having the differing opinions from each of you, it really helps to decide on a game that would suit both me and my partner.
  • Thank you so, so much for the kind words for Witchcraft! And I loved Battle of Versailles too - one of my top games of the year.
  • @leighperrott
    Congrats on 20k subscribers!!! Looking forward to your Top 10 Euros video
  • @ajcrosby87
    I love so many games on this list. I have to agree with Amy that Forest Shuffle is the best small box game/ biggest surprise of the year. ❤
  • @Tablenauts
    Great video, and great recommendations!! Forest Shuffle flew to the top of our wishlist! haha
  • @AngoraWinch
    I love hearing Maggie talk about Witchcraft! It’s such a great game despite occasionally being a very mean game. But the witch-hunts weren’t fair at all so when you lose because villagers turn against you while you were trying to help them it just kind of works with the theme Plus I mostly play solo so I’m always extra appreciative of solo games getting airtime 😁
  • So many great looking games to add to my Want to Play list! Seas of Strife, Rebel Princess, Skyteam especially :) I love Fit to Print, Point City and Forest Shuffle as well - recent favorites. Sending love from the PNW as always.
