Maracaibo - Why Own It? Mechanics & Theme Board Game Review

Some of you might not know that Maggie is from South America, and specifically, the Caribbean region. This makes for a challenging thematic exploration in Pfister's Maracaibo, that we did not realise going in. Here's our journey with this game and our honest opinion of the theme, the mechanics, and the gameplay.

Thanks for stopping by for our mechanics & theme board game review of Maracaibo. 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.
