Stephens is a New Euro that Feels Like a Classic ?✨ | Board Game Review

Description provided by ThinkerThemer on YouTube:

Not going to lie, it felt a bit like a true return to the heart of our board game preferences getting this to the table. It's so very Euro, in all the best ways. Finally, something we agree on *he he he* Happy Essen Spiel to everyone over there!

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. #boardgames #tabletopgames #thinkerthemer ❤🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺
