Another excellent week for gaming, we got multiple games in with 3 players (Gazebo, Barrage, Hansa) then the rest we played at 2 players. Always a great weekend when one of our favourite ever games - Barrage - gets to the table 🙌🏻
I don't have the original West End edition from the 1980s, but I have both the Z-Man edition from the '00s and the brand-new crowdfunded Play to Z edition of the wondrous Eric Goldberg storytelling game Tales of the Arabian Nights. Let's compare!
Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!
This is my tutorial and full solo playthrough of the solo only 18-card micro game Pocket Puffins: Lost in Space by designer Edward Bell and publisher Red Stache Games, who has generously provided a preview copy for this playthrough.

It's been tough to film lately - our beautiful dog Boston got suddenly very sick and after 3.5 weeks of fighting it was time for him to leave us. He made us laugh every single day for 11.5 years, and we miss his cheeky presence so incredibly much. But during this difficult time board games offered us fleeting moments of escapism, and we were able to get some games we've been wanting to try to the table with our friends who supported us greatly.
Wherever you're watching, give your furbabies an extra hug today.
Thank you for all of the beautiful messages you've sent,
A&M
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.

"Bloodwork is a dark fantasy co-op board game for 1–4 players, set in a world shattered by the death of its Goddess and the cosmic corruption unleashed in her wake. Lead a party of Guild Mercenaries through a branching dual‑faction campaign, choosing to side with the Xalgaran Knights or the Orcish Tribes as your decisions reshape the missions ahead. Survive perilous travel filled with ambushes, relics, hazards, and fleeting opportunities. Face tense grid‑based battles where positioning, asymmetric abilities, and risk‑reward choices define every fight."
Hey friends! It's time to do my first board game journal update! I started this journal at the beginning of 2026 and the end of March marked the end of quarter 1! Let's see how my board game journal journey is going! Enjoy!

Welcome to BoardGameBollocks, where today we’re diving into Toy Battle, the fast, chaotic board game that looks cute on the surface but quickly turns into absolute tactical carnage. In this review, I’ll be taking a look at the gameplay, components, strategy, replayability, and whether Toy Battle is actually worth your time and money. Is it a hidden gem, or just another toy-themed disappointment? Let’s find out.
Expect honest opinions, a proper look at how it plays, and the usual BoardGameBollocks nonsense along the way.
