Top 10 Upcoming Games to *Buy, Try or Spy* at GenCon 2022

Well it’s almost time for GenCon 2022 and since we are mapping out our purchases and demos (or just glimpses of new prototypes!) we thought we’d create a video to share with you.

And even if you can’t make it this year we hope that this list provides a bit of a glimpse into the interesting and exciting upcoming games in the back half of this year :D

We’ve also included in the timestamps where you can find each of these games at GenCon (to the best of our knowledge!)

Note: all B-roll in this video is credited to game publisher and/or designer of the game

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.
