Kinda wanted a pic

Which we can then all look at and do the old "got, got, want... want".

+1 for pic request

Counted up my collection today and I am at 177 board games.

I'm lucky if I get to play one game a week.

How do you store them?!

In Richard Osman's House!

Pie Face? Pie Face?!

[Tomous]

Exactly what I hoped for

[Zilnad]

Makes me want to post my collection but my games are all over the house in various cupboards, boxes, wardrobes, crevices and even on the floor.

Pie Face? Pie Face?!

That may well be in the 'move it on' pile...

[Roonmastor]

Its quite a good selection. Perhaps too many werewolf games for a normal collection, but as this is DML I expect nothing less.

And not a Monopoly to be seen

[Imrahil]

To have a collection that size and not possess War of the Ring should be a criminal offence.

I suppose I can only have so many 'large' games as I dont get them to the table very often.

And not a Monopoly to be seen

It's literally in one of the baskets

[Zilnad]

I don't need more games but here I am, casually browsing Zatu, adding £50+ worth of stuff to my basket and still eyeing up more.

I really would like to have a copy of Great Western Trail, and the second edition looks lovely, but do I need it?

[Cuttooth]

I think board game enthusiasm is now rapidly entering that same phase that PC and console gaming has been in for a while, where people will spend quite a lot of money on new or slightly discounted games to add to an every growing backlog.

It’s probably best to ask yourself if you get this new game what does it replace? Not physically unless you’re actually getting rid of something to get this, but what game doesn’t get played if you pick this up? Does it fit a particular niche you’re looking to regularly fill? Would you really be disappointed if the game was suddenly completely out of print and you never got it?

I’ve now reached the point with my collection that I'm not going to actively add to it for a while beyond one, maybe two games I might buy if they are reprinted. Anything else will just take up space and get in the way of playing something I already have.

Although Great Western Trail is pretty great I love it yeah definitely get it.

[Zilnad]

That's a good way to think about it. I wish I'd read it before placing an order

I haven't bought games for a while and I had a tiring day. Although I really do think this has to be it for a good long time now. I really need to start an in out process where I only buy games if I get rid of some first.

The out of print fear is a real problem for me.

I'm considering just going for some legacy games or one and done types

Any in particular that you're eyeing up?

My wife just beat me at Blitzkrieg by one point. She has a 77% win percentage against me in this game now. I'm so proud. And also hungry for vengeance.

Pandemic Seasons 2 and 0, haven't really investigated others. Will have to not be too complicated as I'm just introducing the gf to games at the moment

[Zilnad]

I've heard fantastic things about Pandemic S0. Have you played S1? S2 is good but it didn't quite gel with me and I'd find it harder to recommend if you haven't already played and adored the first one. Don't want to go into why I was disappointed with S2 in fear of spoilers.
