At Nerdverse, we love board games with fun, well-designed themes, and themes that are well integrated into our board games. We also love board games that have no theme at all! Perhaps a board game's theme is one of your primary ways of picking a new game, or a completely unnecessary distraction. In this episode, Fayyaad and Jacques look at different degrees to which theme matters to a game, and give you an overview of what kind of options you have when picking your next game.
