- After our last episode of 10 (COMMA) out of 10, a lot of you mentioned in the comments that you were interesting in further looking into Harmonies or pre-ordering it. We thought we'd share more of our thoughts about this one, so you have more information when deciding whether or not it's for you.
But mostly Amy just wanted to talk about it some more.

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.

I legit preordered this game when you shared it in your 10, out of 10. Seeing this review, I'm really excited to have a go at it when arrives.
My wife and I just discovered your channel, and we love it! You have terrific patter, great discussions, and LONG videos. That is awesome. Your outfits are also great. We put your show on with episodes chained together so we watch you until we fall asleep. You are very relaxing to watch. Thank you for all you do. Great game collection!❤
Thank you! I would love to see a solo playthrough of this!
Me too!
This feels like it would fill the same spot in a collection as Cascadia does. It seems very similar.
I've just discovered your channel and I really enjoy the level of detail and the pace of your reviews! Thanks for making this quality content!
I am SO susceptible to games with pretty cards. My bank account is doomed.
You sold me! Hope to see you at Gen Con again in 3 months!
Awesome! Was hoping to hear more about this game after your mention in the collection video. Not much coverage on it.
Watched this video. Reserved a copy the next day. Picked it up at our FLGS on when it released on Friday. Played it yesterday. 12 times!!!! It is awesome.
Thank you so much for your quality reviews. We can tell if a game is for us based on what you say about it. Every time.
Thank you!
Ck out Board Game Sanctuaries another Australian who reviewed this game & loves it. He swapped out the “animal” pieces with some great alternatives. He is also fun if you don’t know him you should. ❤❤❤
Thank you for a longer video about this game. I just pre-ordered it (U.S.) on the basis of your enthusiasm in the Ten out of Ten video. I think the ease of play will be just right for those in our family and game group that prefer (seemingly) 0:21 simpler games. Love your channel!
I preordered it too on the basis of that video.
This looks really cool, it is giving me Reef vibes but in a smaller box, and with lovely art . Two advantages over Reef in my book!
Looks like a cross between Cascadia and (strongly!!) Dreamscape?
I LOVE the abstract yet thematic scene building in Dreamscape. It is pretty much exactly like this but instead of habitats the cards depict dream scenes for you to build.
Be still my beating heart! My wife and I will LOVE this game. Thanks for a fantastic review.
I still can't get my hands on it, but I wanted it since I first read the rules and now that you two are praising it, ARGGHHH I'm so impatient!
The Cascadia vibes are strong with this one! It’s definitely something id love to play!
FINALLY some hands on info on this game. First heard of Harmonies in November last year and couldn't find anything. Thank you!!! Am I understanding correctly that this is a somewhat more streamlined version of "Dreamscape"?
Thank you for your thorough review of this game. Just preordered it!!!
I wasn't so sure about this to start with, but optimising your habitat for the different animals does sound very cool.
Thank you for recommending this. We got it and love it, including my 8 year old! We love your channel!
Great presentation!. The game looks really cool.
Thanks a lot for this video, glad you like our game
Oh, I'm going to have to pick this one up. Another great video Ladies!
This looks amazing!
Thank you for great video about this game!
It really is beautiful cool game. I wish I could play it, it seem I too would very much enjoy what it offers. Maybe I'll get it for myself one day.
Oh ladies, you are talking me into buying another game! I think I would have some house rules at 2 player, changing the market. I do the same thing when I play Parks.
Between Cascadia and Calico (this one on digital version) i d'ont feel the need for this one.
Yet it looks quite fun and efficiant it that genre and weight i like to play ! (like cascadia, merchant explorers, calico etc...)
The only stuff that restreint me the most, is the lack of solo challenges, there i would have probably at least tried it.
Those multiplayers solitary types of game should have those challenges directly proposed inside the box imho.
So, for some view from above, let's say that if you have any of those "lovely nature puzzly game" already : Do you really need another one ? I don't think so ;)
(but you can try it, then chose to get rid of that one or one that it replace) (yeah, there's too much game in our shelves ! i believe in that ^^)
Cheers from belgium
Thats funny to me as your reason for not buying it is exactly why I picked it up. These are terrific solo games.
This looks delightful 😃your video has probably sold several copies of the game haha!
Oh, this looks like a clever game! Count me in!
Sold!
Like Australia!
Looks like Australia?!! Which Australia are you living on? 😅
Seems most similar to Reef and Neotopia.
❤
This game broke my 5 month streak of buying no games 😅
Gorgeous production? The boards and cards are arched as f**** .... the cubes are sliding down the skew cards ... could be so much better if both materials would lay even on the table :(
Oh my, I can relate to your ocd but maybe consider talking to your doctor about a chill pill. In my experience most games have warped cards and small boards until I get them home and start storing them flat. But maybe you buy higher end games than me. I’m not a hard core game person. So I guess I’m sure you buy higher end board games than me.
I buy a lot of games and i have never ever seen so bad "warped?" cards ...
@@timobruck8683 interesting, I’ve wondered about that because I find it annoying how warped things are in the games I buy but I’ve just learned to accept it. But I do tend to buy entry level games.
Okay, big question!! How do you store your boxes? I’ve assumed I had to store them flat (horizontal) so things wouldn’t warp but maybe I’m just being superstitious.
@@timobruck8683 or maybe what do you mean by “arched” if you don’t know what I mean by warped? Maybe we’re talking about completely different things. I’m an American yankee if that makes any difference
@@therebutfor4170 watch the overview in the video again and look at the corners (up left, down right) of the cards, they are not lying even on the ground
Hopefully a game that isn't made of 80% air.... we don't want massive boxes chunkin up our shelves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Its a small box
