Abstract: We introduce a definition of thickness in $mathbb{R}^d$ and obtain a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of finitely or countably many thick compact sets using a variant of Schmidt's game. As an application we prove that given any compact set in $mathbb{R}^d$ with thickness $au$, there is a number $N(au)$ such that the set contains a translate of all sufficiently small similar copies of every set in $mathbb{R}^d$ with at most $N(au)$ elements; indeed the set of such translations has positive Hausdorff dimension. We also prove a gap lemma and bounds relating Hausdorff dimension and thickness.
