- We are so excited to finally show you all (some) of our board game collection in our new dedicated space. It is sooo nice to be able to see everything so easily, and to have a lovely space to create new memories - with our loved ones IRL, and our family & community here ❤
Our table was built by (not sponsored):

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.
Are you #teamthinker or #teamthemer? ❤🏳️🌈🇦🇺

Tip for the thermos/contigo mugs - brew with a smaller amount of hot water and then top up with cool water so it’s drinking temp to start with, then the mug will keep it at the perfect temp for as long as needed, or until empty. Room looks great!
My Mind was blown! Always thought Amy was the taller one lmao!!! Shelves are beautiful and you 2 are amazing!
I did too!
JUST GOT A SHELF???? WHAT?!!?! 😱 Can't wait to see ya'll next week!
Shelves are so much more convenient than piles. People should know. 😂😂😂 Can't wait to hang yaaaaaaayayayyyyyyyy
I did not expect a Pokémon plush from this channel at all! That's almost the best part of the video for me
Ever since that one sweater caught my eye I can't stop anticipating what Maggie will be wearing. Also, love the room! 🤣
sneaky co-ops! there is yet hope!
so is there space for shelves on the opposite wall? if not what will you do when your collection expands by another hundred games??? :)
For hot tea a Kinto. They are amazing and large enough for you to grab but will still fit in the holder.
Bought the same table, sans lights from Table Flippers, a great investment. They are excellent quality.
Great setup! I do see that'Glass Road' is still in shrink. Please get it out and play it, because it is brilliant! 🙂Have fun with the new room!
Great shelves. I'm jealous. We really need to get a better shelving system. We just have some very basic bookshelves and it's really not the best. For organization, I actually decided to arrange my games by mechanism or type/style, so all my deck builders are together, all the worker placements together, all the city/Civ builders together, all the dungeon crawls together, etc.
Wow the games room is looking really good, I like that you have gone in your own direction and had shelves built they look really good. loving the look of the table and one thing surprised me and that is Maggie being the taller of you, for some reason I thought Amy would have been.
Holy cow! That table! Those games! Sweet!
(I will pretend that Agricola is hiding away somewhere)...")
Remember this video when your little plushies are all in hammocks and your shelf cubes are ALL FULL of all your game titles!!
You are the most adorable human sized persons on the internet. Would love playing games with you 🥰😊
Nice. We are about to build our games room, starting with a natural 20 gaming table! We moved city a couple of years ago and went from occassional gaming sessions, to playng most weekends as our friends are local now. A few weeks ago my wife suggested we make a dedicated games room and now its happening! For tea, we opted for a mug holder for each person, this sits on a rail on the outside along with a token holder and mini desk.
Love your games room, though your collection dwarfs mine, so many! We have about 15 games now, following a serious cull, and we are now super strict about what we buy and avoid doubling up on games that have similar mechanics.
This looks stunning. Hope you will have lot's of fun hours in the game room/studio.
also, funny that you talk about gaming tables the same day as Foster the Meeple presenting their new table. they both look great.
Gorgeous collection!!!! ❤️ love that you’re standing 😝
For the tea, a ceramic travel mug! It's tall, it normally doesn't have a handle and it doesn't keep the tea piping hot! It also has the same feel as a tyoically mug which is part of the tea drinking experience. Absolutely your space!! Great video!
Gaia Project still in shrink!!!! You need to rectify this. Also, Glass Road is fantastic.
I just discovered your channel and I'm a huge fan. Love your taste in games. 😁❤️
Sorted by “vibes”! Love it!
I have a few plastic coffe/tea cups with lids they look like to go versions tea and coffee laces use but they are cleanable and reusable.
I really like that there is no dedicated "shelf of shame" you just spread them out ;)
lovely new setting - enjoy!
make sure to start the Root journey with a solid group of 3-4
Yay! Looks awesome! Love the shelves and the ability to adjust them! What a great space!
Thank you so much!!! We love it too... a nice new space for lots of gaming whoohoo! 💕🥳
For the tea cups, just goto a pottery class and they will make custom ceramic cups to your liking. Nice games room girls. I did the same and created a games room but with an expandable shipping container in the back yard. This makes all the fun stuff while glamping!
We adore and miss both of you so much!
this was a lot of fun; i love that the camera didn't get too close to the "shrink area" on the right side of the shelves to ensure we can't really tell what hasn't gotten out there yet!
For the drinks solution, I am a fan of Zojirushi mugs with the lid that flips back. I have been using one every day for the last 10 years. The lid flips back for sipping and stays in place, it can be opened and closed with one hand, and when it's closed the liquid doesn't leak. My mugs have been banged around in my school bag, dropped to the floor, rolled around in the car, etc. I second what someone says about putting the liquid in at the temperature you want to drink it. No doubt there are other similar mugs. I found this one by accident and stayed with the brand.
As a person who finally had to lay out money on decent shelves this year to hold the out of control game collection I feel your excitement. Congratulations 😁
My friend Sarah and Nic have a gaming room and I always am in awe looking at all their games. Like Christmas for me. I watch plays of many games and then in awe when I see them on their shelves.
Love look of yours!
So awesome!
Love it!
With the tea, can you put something in the cupholders to make them not as deep so you can still use a mug? So it will sit down a bit to stop bumping and spilling, but still allow for the handle. Hard to tell from the video if that's something that would be possible.
WOW! I am in love with your gaming room! 🥰 The built in floor to ceiling shelves make it look like a modern library! You may have inspired me to yet again reorganize my collection. Loved this video Amy and Maggie! 👏🏻
Really enjoyed this tour!! Amy, I can't wait to see if the delicious mechanics of Eclipse help it eclipse your space game aversion!
For teas I recommend looking at the Yeti Rambler cups with the magnet lids! Also I’ll come teach Root and Eclipse anytime!
Nice to see Cerebria has a high pride of place. Beautiful and highly underrated game.
You're standing....I'm shook! Congratulations on the new shelves. Here's to the creation of many future gaming memories!
Would love to hear your thoughts on Iki. Congrats on the new space, looks great!
Wow what an amazing collection of games and the shelves look so good. I love the way you decided to display the games, it’s very inviting and colourful. That is such a beautiful table, and I would be nervous to play on it for the first time lol. Looks amazing ladies, thank you for the tour, so many games that I need!!!
What a gorgeous space! So well organized and I love the variable shelf sizes. Thank you for the tour. I feel like our space needs to look a bit nicer now. The structure is good, but it feels messy.
Love all the sneaky coops. How on earth did they get in there?
Heheh well organised for now!!! 😂 we will see how long we can keep it tidy. At least the camera keeps us accountable !!! Honestly it's nice just to have a dedicated shelf... I always love seeing ur shelf and game pics & hope we can make as many happy memories here! 💕
Happy memories competing, that is.
Adrian will be happy to hear that our space needs an infusion of plushies.
I also have a large collection but you have a lot of games that I have never heard of. The room looks fantastic.
Thank you for sharing your new gaming room, I think it looks fantastic.
I just want to say…I love that you have all the games standing upright, so much more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes haha
Amazing room!! I love your custom shelving (though I'm a simple Kallax kind of gal. In fact I use the Ikea Kallax glass shelf dividers to store small boxes efficiently in the Kallax cubes. But your shelving is beautiful!). Speaking of simple, I organize games alphabetically. Which works well except when a new game enters the collection... but i don't mind an excuse to handle - and move - my games. 😊
We just use side tables. Safer. Great game room!
Hi girls,
Beautiful game room. Congratulation. Love the video.
In my callax I group my games in types such as party games, family, gateway, next level then mid-heavy games. I also have a Gametopper table with various mats. Love it.
Are you going to film some playthrough now that you have a nice setup?
Love the new room! Everything looks great. So cool seeing so many of my personal favorites up there too! Arnak, Coinbra, In Too Deep, Hidden Leaders, Whistle Mountain, Wonderful World….such great taste!
Awesome collection! I love the variable shelf heights. It makes everything look like it belongs. Keep up the great content!
The new room looks so nice! Love how you incorporated the plushies!
Thanks for the Table Flippers tip! I am based in Sydney and have always wanted to get a dedicated gaming table. Just need to find space for a dedicated gaming area now.
Oh such a great video, love having a look at your gorgeous gaming room ! Indeed it was quite the surprise to see you standing ahaha. Glad you manage to create this great space ! Have a lovely week !
That's an impressive wall of games 🤩👍nice video. The room and the table are looking great 👍
Congrats on the upgrade! Looks amazing. Glad you've a dedicated space.
20:12 I have Fjords in shrink, too! :-
Game room looks excellent! Very jealous, hope you have many years of great gaming experiences.
Your whole setup is stunning!! Has to feel incredible to have that completed. And I've got to say in my mind Maggie was always the shorter of you two so that was a surprise. 😂
Beautiful space!! Beautiful shelves and table 😍 ❤️!! Thanks for the tour!!
Lovely!
Oh my gosh! Can't believe you haven't played Root! It is so up your alley, great thinking, wonderful theme! Highly highly recommend. I really think both of you will *love* it!
Looking forward to hearing your impressions of The Transcontinental--one of my most anticipated for the year!
Omg the intro to this video is amazing. I have been waiting for a tour since I started watching you guys over quarantine:). The shelving and game table look fantastic. Thank you!
Such a gorgeous setup! I love the choice of shelves! I’d love to see more on your small box game collection too ☺️
Nice shelves and table! I am a bit jealous if the dedicated game room, really nice. Enjoy your gaming space!
My first thought was, wow tall shelves. Then you said you're both short so may be perspective! Thanks for sharing, my daughter is incredibly jealous of the plushy collection!
Fantastic to see your collection (well, most of it!) Love those shelves and the fact that they are adjustable! So handy! When I reorganised my collection it just ended up being a what fits where system. So the giant Anachrony box has to go on the top of the shelf (Kallax) because it doesn't fit anywhere else and then I have one area of my shelf kind of hidden behind my reading chair, so I tend to put the less popular games back there as well as my box of "What's in there again?" full of sealable baggies, non-deluxe components etc. I'd show a pic, but it feels so horribly disorganised these days that I wouldn't want to frighten you away from one day visiting.
I'd love to see your collection on BGG so I could scroll through and then make video requests. It's a bit of work at first, but then it's fairly easy to keep up with once you've got it done.
Forgot to add, I love the dramatically edited opening as well!
Love your shelves and game table-I'm so ready to have a game room! I'm sure its so great to have a dedicated space to play, I know the dining table dilemma. Also, I thought your comment was funny, "you're not ready yet". Made me think of myself wanting to play bigger games, where I have to choose wisely grasshopper :)
Such a wonderful space, and what a beautiful table. Thank you for the tour.
Definitely a step up from tripping over *floor games*... thank you Steve! 😊
@@ThinkerThemer The floor of opportunity!
Amazing, I am so happy for you! If you ever are considering a game to play, I would love to suggest Root 🌈❤🥳
That wall!!!! I want!!!!! Love it ladies. Hope you are doing well!
Great idea. Lighter games should be on top. Heavy game boxes on the bottom. That way whatever the mood of the visitor there’s always the right row.
Wow, what a great setup! I am so jealous. And not just about the shelves -- BUT the space - - - for a gaming table. Spot on about the kitchen table: where do we eat the next meal?
Love this video.
Your collection is amazing. And I see quite a few that I'd like to have if/when you cull 😉
Congrats on the new space being done! Looks wonderful! I noticed from the last video about Septima that shelves were the backdrop. Glad the postcards will still be used from time to time as well. And that table is amazing! Enjoy the new space :)
Fantastic collection! Citta-Stato is a hidden gem. :)
Looks great. My game collection is on a long corner table, with lots on the floor. I don't have any room for more shelves which I use for books I never read lol. I am going to have to start changing something soon, because I have tons of games coming.
such an amazing gaming room!
I like the way you organized it.
where do you store gaming accesories or luxury components and things like that?
I'm obsessed with Root and would love to see you guys play it! It also lived on my shelf in shrink for years before I mustered up the courage to teach it, so no shame!
What an amazing space! Love the table, it’s fantastic. On the cup problem, try the double walled glasses (Bodum do a great range but there are others). You can get nice tallish ones that keep your drink hot but are cool to pick up and being open top you don’t get the problem you get with Keep cups or thermos where the drink is too hot
Right?? This is the issue - a thermos is like pouring a stream of hot lava out... over the new table 😂 it keeps it too hot but then open has no spill protection. Ah, the big life problems 😅 thank you for the suggestion!!! 💖
I've never thought about it before now, but if asked I would have thought that Amy was taller! But I also figured you were both tall, not short! Haha.
Never knew Maggy was taller. Intriguing. I'd wondered about never seeing game shelves before...lol...now it all makes sense.
It looks great! I'm jealous of the uniformity, mine is all piece meal as it grew haha.
What a great space! I also have both Fjords and Vivid still in shrink wrap and I would love to see you review them as inspiration to unpack my own!
Woot, such an amazing looking space and collection ! Enjoy the new table!!
Thank you!!! We are enjoying it even though I'm still a bit scared to touch it 😂 so precious!!!
Lol, I’m not sure if it’s from the way you had sat before, but I was utterly surprised that Maggie is taller, as she always appeared shorter when you were sitting. But more importantly, what a delightful new game room setup! Can’t wait for more videos from you in this wonderful new space. 😊😊
That's an amazing game room! Congrats on getting it all setup!
Can't wait to see what comes next from your awesome channel!!
I just wanted to say the intro part of your video was really, really impressive and professional looking, with a great variety in shots & choice of + syncing with music :)
I have some of the same boxes waiting on my "shelf of opportunity" that are taunting me as well: Eclipse: Second Dawn, Root, Blood on the Clocktower, Rising Sun, TI4, Obsession, Nations, Clash of Cultures, Pax Renaissance, Pendragon... It seems that having groups larger than three is a difficult thing to arrange.
Whistle Mountain will be a brilliant reward once you get that out of shrink. Such a brilliant game (at least i think so!). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that.
One day I’ll have a wall built like that. Looks amazing!
During the tour I saw your Lacerda game section. Any chance you will do a series on them? You're a fun couple.
Hi John! Thank you so much for the kind words - and the support of the channel. We really appreciate it. No plans for Lacerda reviews yet but we are trying to rate our whole collection so we will have to get to them! We just got Weather Machine 😁 are you a fan of them? Which is your favourite?
@@ThinkerThemer I have 5 or 6 of them. My favorites are Vinhos and Lisboa. CO2 is best at solo I think, I would like to play Kanban and On Mars but can't interest my friends or grandkids in either of them. I still enjoy all of them solo. Thanks to you I am enjoying Feast of Odin (solo on my table now). I know it isn't Lacerda but wanted to pass along thanks for your review that caused me to buy it.
We do love Feast and it's still Maggie's favourite solo game! Am intrigued about your love for Vinhos as we haven't played it but have almost purchased it so many times!!
Shelves! Yay!
That's an awesomely good looking gaming room. Congrats:-)
I’m in Sydney and we use the thermos brand of travel mug and they are excellent and might work for you. They can be found at Officeworks among other places.
The new shelves look fantastic! Congrats! The plushies are so cool (I've lost a fortune on those claw machines haha) and I love how you showcase a few of the games with good box presence. NOW MICHELLE AND I WANT TO VISIT!!! :)
Have I spotted Glass Road above Maggie's shoulder? And still in shrink? You have to change that soon, you won't be disappointed!
Also: Thoughts on your collection and set-up and table? Envy! I confess. I mean I am happy for you, but still. This will never happen in our apartment, because my wife doesn't like games. Also, money.
Enjoy what you have built there, it looks REALLY special!
Contigo travel mug with auto seal for the hot tea/coffees.
Oh my goodness your set up is just the cutest. I also have my games sorted by vibe and I love it!! I really hope I'm not the only one getting distracted by Petrichor though . But for real... ultra cute setup, amazing job on everything. Thank you for sharing!
For the cup holder tea mug issue, I wonder if getting a cup holder adapter would work? Try searching "cup holder adapter" on Amazon and see if any of those may work for you. Or if you want to keep your tea snuggly and warm for a long time, I have been using a Zojirushi thermos for years and highly recommend them!
YES sorting by vibe 😂 thank you for the lovely comments, we're so happy with it too. We had never heard of a cup holder adapter!!! Hmm interesting... this opens up more options! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️💕
Looks great! I liked that you went for the customised shelving. Being able to size shelves to the boxes looks fantastic. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the lights in the table after you've been using it for a while. I like that your table has a defused light rather than bare leds but I still think that personally I'd never use the light as I'd find it too distracting.
Such great camera work Maggie! ❤️
