  • It's not often we find a party game that excites us - but did someone say VENN DIAGRAM? In this shedding game you are racing other 'finders' to play thing cards into a venn diagram. The trick is that you have no idea what the rules of the circles are. Through correct placements (and corrected placements by the 'knower') you're slowly able to deduce the rules. Just make sure you work it out before your opponents!

    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.

    The rhyme at the start is from the back of the box! It took a few takes to memorise 😂😂

      Great rhyme!
      Awesome video.
      I don't like party games much, but I am very interested in this one!
      Lovely meeting you both at the event this weekend.
      Please keep the videos coming!

    Sounds great! I kept hearing “Noah” Role, until I read “Knower” Role in the Chapters, which makes much more sense 😅

    Absolutely loved the review and had to preorder the game after watching! Your enthusiasm is contagious and this sounds like the type of party game I’d enjoy 😄

    Was skeptical of the game going into this video but you convinced me. On my "want" list. :)

    Very interesting, I suppose you could make your own "rule" cards just rewriting all the original ones and adding some more

    Pre-ordering this one right away! My friends are not in the hobby, so we tend to play a lot of lighter and party style games when we get together. I think this will be a big hit with them!

    Are you kidding me with this video right now?!? Amy and Maggie’s excitement for this game is infectious! Your joy for this game got me hooked and the explanation pulled me in and confirmed this as an insta-buy for me. Hoping to try at work for some team-building but also with friends as a great party game to get everyone laughing. You two are awesome and love seeing your joy of games! Can’t wait to play this one!

    This looks awesome! And I wouldn’t have learned about it, if it weren’t for this video. Thank you very much Amy and Maggie! Off to go pick up a copy for myself now :)

    As a lover of Zendo (which was an inspiration for this game according to the designer on BGG), this looks right up my street.
    EDIT: I suppose one solution to the limited number of rule cards is to just come up with your own three rules, making sure they fit the three types. Also gives the Knower a bit more to do in the game, as they get to pick their own rules. Zendo does something like that, where it has a deck of cards to decide rules for you, but it also says you can come up with your own.

    I hope there will be a German version soon. Would love to play this with my friends.

    • @peterc.hayward8067
      @peterc.hayward8067 Месяц назад +1

      No promises, but I think the publisher is looking into German localization!

    Nice review. The game looks great. Need to look out for this one or maybe make my own, if not available here in Down Under.

    Have either of you ever played Blood on the Clocktower? It's a deduction game, so I'm not sure if either of you would absolutely love it; but it definitely has a theme that Maggie would like.

    • @ThinkerThemer
      @ThinkerThemer  Месяц назад

      We have! Our friends had two game masters lead this at their wedding recently so we played all evening! Maggie hates lying so she actually struggles with these games. I had fun and bought the game for my brother so I hope to play it again soon 🤗

    As with any party game, replayability is a major deciding factor for me (surprised I bought Herd Mentality!). How many different clue cards do we have per colour?
