We're heading over to the US to attend one of our favourite board game conventions - GenCon 2024! We've started researching games and can foresee it being very expensive with NO OVERLAP in our most anticipated lists. We hope that this research helps you navigate through and find some gems that work for you and your gamer group.
Please come and say hi if you see us!
We'll shortly update the list below with timestamps where you can find each of these games at GenCon (to the best of our knowledge!) so be sure to come back when you're marking your map.

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.
