The 7 Levels of Board Game Collecting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- We've been seriously collecting board games for more than a couple of years at this point here at Shelfside. Our current combined collection would be really quite shocking to our high school selves, and we wanted to depict the fun progression of how it's like to start collecting board games.
There was a time where Cards Against Humanity and Monopoly dominated the conversation, and for quite some years at that. As we got older, like many others, Catan was one of the first games that just utterly gripped our attention, and down the rabbit hole we went. Like really, the Gamecube thing I talk about in this video hits home for our friend group. Target and Barnes and Noble were our go-to as we picked up games like Pandemic, Betrayal at House on the Hill, and we're sure that the party game Throw Throw Burrito would be a grab if it was around at the time. Of course, spending money on board games is way too tempting and has led to some unopened games. And some games are just expensive, like Food Chain Magnate, Frosthaven/Gloomhaven, and Caverna. This video wouldn't be complete with the behemoth TI3 and the new TI4 as well, which come a little later down the line in the journey. We have yet ourselves to hit the highest level in this video, and that is for sure a personal goal of ours.
This video idea was suggested by Clifford H, one of our Chad tier Patrons!

#Boardgames #Catan #Gloomhaven
This is so spot on. Only missing Discovered Kickstarter somewhere in there.
I feel attacked by this comment XD
Way too true and accurate to be innocent ;)
Good thing there is no reference to Warhammer or Wargames in the video, to make it even worse...
@@stitch77100 those warhammer, magic, and war games are subcategories of the table top gamer lol
That’s stage 4
Wanted to comment the same thing!
Thats the phase I'm on right now.. kickstarter makes me broke
"Friends come and go but boardgames are forever" - That moment when you decide to buy some board games solely for their solo mode
Thats the stage I’m at now.
@@rthomas1031 Same, here in 2024 👊
My steps were...
1. A friend asks me to play Catan, but I played board games as a kid, and board games aren't fun anymore, right?
2. I play Catan, and it is the greatest game ever made! I play Ticket to Ride and a couple others, but all I really want to do is play Catan.
3. Eventually I find Tabletop, and I start buying a few of the games they play on there like Betrayal, Takenoko, Pandemic, and King of Tokyo. There are more great games than just Catan!
4. I start watching board game reviewers like Rahdo and The Dice Tower, and after spending a ton of time on UA-cam and BoardGameGeek, I discover I really like euros, and I start buying five or more games a month even though I am lucky to have a game night once every couple of months.
5. I find that heavier games appeal to me the most after watching Heavy Cardboard and Ant Lab Games. Learning games replaces playing games, but my buying continues until I have over 100 unplayed games and 16 unfulfilled Kickstarters.
6. I discover the genre of 18xx and realize I regret purchasing over half of my euros. I now own or have preordered eleven different 18xx titles and have yet to play my first 18xx.
7. After seven years of obsessing over board games, I accept I am too much of an introvert for such a social hobby when most of my friends do not actually enjoy board games. Now I am binging mountain bike videos and thinking I can sell a few games to buy my first bike... 😂
Solution: get more games suitable for solo play instead?
@@ChrisCypher thats what i did 😊
@@papang1950 yeah, it's kinda crazy how big my collection has exploded during pandemic. Didn't realize solo gaming could be fun until I tried Spirit Island. That opened my eyes.
Solo, solo, solo
@@ChrisCypher I've justified a lot of game purchases with the inclusion of a solo mode, but I haven't found one yet that I enjoy. The ones I've tried solo so far are Spirit Island, Architects of the West Kingdom, Scythe, Sanssouci, Die Tavernen Im Tiefen Thal, The Gallerist, and Underwater Cities.
We've made a rule to only buy games on days ending in "y".
Wait a minute...
@@Shelfside It also includes yesterday, and today. The only day we can't buy games is ... tomorrow.
@@gapclosergames13 but it's okay, in only 24 hours, tomorrow will become today.
@@scottwpilgrim Touche
Solid rule. Going to try that one out.
Currently on level 4 and having a blast. I stopped watching there just to not spoil myself. What could go wrong?
Sanity helps. Being able to have two thoughts in the head at the same time helps. Impulse control vs money available to buy. You can stay on level 4 forevvvahhh....
I thought the 6th Level was going to be "You found out about Kickstarter"
Wow. This is basically my life. I am at the stage at trying to get rid of some games , to end up giving nothing away , I love them all! My precious!
Same. I got dark souls all-in, homeruled it and it hit the table once in 5 months. No way I am getting rid of it though, I couldn't if I tried anyway, this stuff is way too specific to sell.
Haha - I’m honored!
The tablet pretending to be a Target sign at 1:30 cracked me up. Well done.
This man understands me. That or he has cameras in my home because this video is about 100% accurate to my experience.
Can't tell you how many times I've started a "give to friends" pile, but somehow, they keep finding their way back to my shelf!!
0:13 - I like this because it says about "mastering Monopoly" when the money on free parking isn't even a rule in the game. Whether it was intentional or not it's a nice nuance.
when I was a kid, that was my favorite rule. Now, its permanently banned.
THANK YOU! I KEEP TELLING EVERYONE! I'M NOT CRAZY, YOU'RE CRAZY! READ THE RULES!
Isn’t that a real rule?
@@fightingkitchen7960 Nope. It's a house rule played in many houses. The idea of the game is to make you broke. This free money just lengthens the game for no good reason. See also: auctioning unbought properties.
@@peekaboosteam Oh, I didn’t know it was a house rule. Thank you.
It terrifies me how this is exactly how it started for me. A slippery slope from CAH, to now where I worry about sunlight and humidity where I store the board games.
Also admit that "friends come and go, board games are forever" crossed my mind a few times...
This was me, except my “Catan” was Ticket to Ride.
That is the gateway note on all of those cases
Ok, believe it or not, mine was Lightseekers, a CCG. Odd gateway, now that I think about it. Also figured out I'm not a fan of pre-game deck building.
Mine was Star Wars Rebellion
Mine was warhammer
Hahaha! Completely relatable. Particularly the part about sneaking games into the house 😂
Oh god this video was waaaay too real. Just went through stage 5 this week after seeing my credit card bill and had to cancel most of my kickstarter pledges. In need of that support group. Subbed!
Snaeking board games into the house... Who would ever do that, right?
yeah hey, what are you talking about me buying new games? I've had these games since umm, forever!
My standard excuse is: Oh I ordered this a long time ago. Way before I decided to spend less on board games...
It's a kickstarter that was late just as usual
Oh yeah, I preordered that a while ago, and it was definitely one sale! It would never be as cheap as I bought it ever again. Also, it was running low on stocks so I didn't want to miss out! Yes... I am at Stage 5 now ...
Lol I spent roughly $115 bucks on X-Wing stuff this past week at Barned and Noble because it was all half off. I definitely snuck that into the house lol.
Shhh...don't tell him about the new expansion for TI4.
Pre-ordered instantly 😁
@@audiojck1 was so excited I accidentally preordered it 3 times. Phone was being a dick
@@Lugo428 There's nothing wrong with that. I actually contemplated getting a second set (base game plus expansion) as well. But I don't really know what for. Maybe in case parts of the first go missing and FFG has stopped printing TI4 by then.
There is an expansion?!? *click*
@@NardoVogt comes out in November, but yeah.
My Levels of Gaming
Level 1 - Chess, Parcheesi, and Monopoly.
Level 2 - Expanding my collection: Stratego, The Game of Life, Yahtzee, Battleship, Scrabble...
Level 3: Finding games no one else had: Advance to Boardwalk, Mystery Mansion, Balderdash, Millie Bornes...
Level 4 - Discovering and collecting the Deluxe, Anniversary versions, and variants of the games I already owned. Simpsons Monopoly, Scrabble with a turntable, Franklin Mint Editions...
Level 5: House ruling the Hell outta these games and hosting mini-tournaments with my friends.
Level 6: What are these $50 Games I keep seeing on the shelves? BattleTech, Hero Quest, Catan, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride...
Level 7: *KICKSTARTER*
ahah love how it jumped from fairly noticeable, common games, all the way to kickstarter. MINIS!!!
I also started out with chess, monopoly, stratego, etc too when young, and houseruled the HECK out of monopoly. and heroquest actually ahaha. More gaming! -Ashton
*looks at my kickstarter backed list*
no problems here - no sirreeee
This video shook me out of my buying spree. I will now spread out my buying so I don't lose the joy of receiving a box of cardboard in the mail.
I miss the "You find out you don't have any more space in your house for new boardgames and start to panic." step.
aha, I got really creative in finding out how to stash games- some underneath the bed, some in an extra closet, some in another room... the list goes on and on :) -Ashton
This was amazing. So me.... 😫
Now, if only I had friends to play all these games with...
This was very entertaining thank you! Carrying Gloomhaven on a bicycle made me laugh.
My friend really did this from the Shop back Home with a fresh sleaved box of Gloomhaven...
He carried a backpack... but yeahhh... you know what happened next...
It really is scary how accurate this is (plus the kickstarter discovery others have mentioned).
I think there's a few extra stages... painting your minis, trying some ccgs and wargames, getting over the fear of sprues with a "cheap" wh40k starter set, ordering Kingdom Death Monster, building & painting KD:M, playing KD:M.....
This is exactly me but replace the "give to friends" sign with "sell on Facebook or BGG" ... If you're patient, you can actually get back a lot of the money you spent. Out of print games barely go down in value, even if used. Also, when someone really wants an out of print board game, they'll pay almost anything for it. I've been collecting board games since 2009 and I can say I've recouped at LEAST 60% of the money I spent by selling through Facebook and BGG. Now, just like in the video, my collection consists only of what gets played, and a few guilty pleasures that I don't want to get rid of. I'm also WAY pickier now. The market is flooded with games that look amazing now but with the experience I gained through the years, I can now see past the fluff and know when a game isn't worth it.
I would say my journey went as follows;
- rediscovered board games at a Meetup. First game in 20 years? Kemet.
- bought Carcassonne some time later.
- bought Mage Knight. Then Lords of Waterdeep. Then Mage Wars. Then...
- started hosting own board game night.
- eventually ended up with a whole wall of board games (many unplayed), A room dedicated to board games and shelves galore.
Then. Something happened.
One night the gaming group complained about playing new games all the time. “Why can’t we just stick with a few and really develop strategies?”.
- Recognize that I’d gone from board game player to board game collector.
- Recognized my purchasing had a lot to do with the “get” and less about the “have”.
- Sell most of the games and keep only the best of the best (in our opinion).
- turn the board gaming room into a arts and crafts room instead.
- keep game nights small and fun again with games we know and love.
I feel sorry for people with walls of games now. I mean, you can’t really play all those. Or rather, you’ll never be able to focus on just one that you like and if you did...why have 200 others? MUCH happier now that I realized what was happening. I hope others beat the, “new shiny!” Addiction as well. 👍
I’m on a game buying full stop right now too. And it really is amazing how much more you enjoy your collection when you play the ones you know a few times in a row and relax in your knowledge and strategies without the stress of always learning a new one. (Oh.... and incidentally, I’m not buying games because I’m currently saving for the accessories on my kickstarter game table.) 😬
I bought Catan 12 years ago, introduced it to my friends, played until we lost interest, and have been buying new games every week since even though we only see each other in person 3 times a year.
That twist at the end, you sir are the Shyamalan of board games.
Thankfully my family loves to play board games so I if nothing else, they are the bad influence on me when it comes to buying more board games :D
All started when I was invited to play Zombicide with some co-workers :D
I know I said this yesterday about a different video, but again your videos like these are so relatable.
2:01 and kidney for frosthaven
And in the end, all he needs is TI4.
This video helped me to make the jump from Level 4 to level 5. I now realize.... I have a problem xD
Thank you!
This feels like a sketch from the classic days of UA-cam. I like it!
Felt like I was watching an autobiography 🤣
My gateway game was Betrayal at House on the Hill. First haunt was evil plants trying to kill us with their vines. One of my best gaming moments!
Betrayal is so memorable! Gotta see if I can play a game with halloween around the corner :) -Ashton
This is so relatable. I started with a fake copy of Catan just because I thought to myself this is just the 'flavor of the day' type of thing just to get out of the boredom during quarantine. And now I have 5 original games in my collection. Fortunately I only buy solo games as no one in my family or friends has been interested to play (or maybe i just don't want to share the delicate card boards). My final goal is to get either mage knight the best solo game there is acc. to board game geek of course 😅
Be careful you don’t start buying on Kickstarter. It becomes a sickness and you’ll have a shelf full of games with 6 boxes of miniatures that you have never played. Ask me how I know :)
BUY MAGE KNIGHT! No, seriously. It's so Good.
I feel you.
I played a lot of Monopoly as a kid and eventually recognized it as a destroyer of friendships. Catan never appealed to me. I jumped straight to Twilight Imperium 4th edition. Then Pandemic Legacy Season 1. Then War of the Ring 2nd edition, and both of its expansions (one of which I still haven't played). Then Gloomhaven: Forgotten Circles (a friend already had the base game), then Jaws of the Lion.
Now TI just announced an expansion and WotR's Kings of Middle Earth is ALLEGEDLY coming out this year or next. And honestly, I know that I no longer have the time or opportunity to play either of those, but I know I will buy them.
But there's a level you've neglected, maybe you just haven't reached it yet. You start planning and designing your own game using component cannibalized from other games. And maybe then you start buying games JUST for the components (looking at you Scythe and your beautiful resource tokens).
Good luck guys. Subscribed.
Yes! I reached this point. I had game components galore and stored them all sorted in an expensive Erector Set carry case. The boards would fit well enough in my backpack. After decades of trying to forge Empires of Riskopoly (i'm 28 now) I realize I owned too much cardboard and dice. I sold a lot (along with my soul) and came to realize that Pathfinder 3.5 and Wraith: 20th anniversary are creme ala creme. If you haven't played these, you need to.
All the buying and no mention of Kickstarting games to the point of becoming a superbacker?! pffft, unrealistic!
xD!! this was .. a bit too relatable D':!!
Kickstarter is 8th level
We are in the 4-7 stage. Just passed 150 games on our shelf 😂 definitely have a problem haha.
I’m really interested in TI4, and I heard it’s going to BGA soon - Michael
Dude, this is the most accurate video in the world. Please make more content, 10/10!
I've never felt so attacked 😂
I was buying around 4 games a month and peaking 100 boards, living in one room apartment things got crowded fast. Started to pack games that were easy to play and learn and send them to donation campaigns (now it's a yearly habbit), as for the ones that didnt align with the group with more complex rules were up for trade. This toned down alot the buying spree. I buy around 3-4 games/year and send out around the same. My collection went down to about 50 games and now I am just polishing it, keeping only the ones I find are the best.
I started with Catan all the available expansions, the second game was Mansion of madness and the third king of tokyo.....
LOL! @2:14 I’m literally looking over at my board game stand/shelf, and it’s the Exact same one.
Oh man, this is my life story on my own board game collection progression, including that high school Catan binge until death, too.
I'm on level 7! Hooray! Although, I get to keep pretty much all of them because I have kids who will play someday.
This is me, except I've literally never played catan, for me in was ticket to ride as the gateway game. Now I'm probably a level 7.
7 Wonders was my gateway game.
bloodborne the card game and then my fucking ex and her catan nights
I still have never played Catan! My board game collection is over 100 games. I can't for the life of me remember what my gateway game was and that makes me sad.
@@rav3style 🤣🤣🤣 haha ive got a friend who is banished to play the Exit games every month because of his gf.
@@n.riffer what they do?
* looks at the four new board games on shelf that haven't been played yet*
O no...it's like my book collection all over again.
UN-REALISTIC.
There's not enough room in that tent for a game of TI4.
1:33 Dude really put up the target logo on his laptop to make it look like he’s shopping 😂😂
Fantastic video! Very well done.
I’m at around stage 6. I will get only a small number a year now. This past year it was 4. 1 remake of my favorite game, 1 remake/collectors edition of a game I love, and 2 games that have been around for years that I haven’t played, but could look into to see if I would like them.
Mostly though, I am just looking to play what I do have. I got a good collection and don’t need to do the cult of new thing.
I think we have passed the golden age of Board gaming. Not saying board games have gotten bad or that they have stopped improving, but just that now the hobby has splintered due to the number of releases and the catalogue of “Classic hobby games” That already exists.
We are in the age of abundance in the hobby.
Hahaha! I can relate. My friend and I are saying we really want to go to Noble Knight again!
I feel your pain. I just want to know if this clinical disorder has a name yet so when I audition for X factor they can feel sorry for me and let me through.
I've been suffering from PTBGD (Post Traumatic Board Game Disorder) for years. But it's not taken seriously enough these days as a REAL disorder, so I suffer in silence.
Sometimes I find myself in some dark ally rolling dice and moving my meeples mumbling to myself that I'm taking too long and it's my turn. Other times I spend hours alone sleeving cards.
The lockdown hasn't helped. I use to be a social board gamer, but now the need to play a board game is just too great. Now this addiction has left me buying on-line and many late nights playing solos, talking and laughing with my meeples like they can hear and understand me. Other times you can find me in the gaming room, burning offerings to the dice gods that they might favor me in my next gaming session when they hear my pleads for one more six.
The wife has left me, the kids won't visit me. Well actually they can't, no room left in the house. I have to enter the house through the garage roller door. The dog ran away and the cat hasn't been seen in the house for weeks.
Does anyone out there understand what I'm talking about, or am I totally alone with no chance of a normal life? Anyone?
I have made it to 7 but oh do I remember the buy, buy, buy stage so many games. Nice video.
I might be at stage 8 where my house is now full and I plan on starting a board game store just to have more space for games and build a community to actually play them.
Quantum, Tigris & Euphrates, Samurai, TI4. This guys boardgames.
This is so true... Maybe its an after-effect because of my parents when i was a kid, not buying me cool Boardgames in the Supermarket.
My gf says that (even with 29) my eyes become shiny and moist when im in a Shop with Kidstoys and casual Catan and Looping Louie Boardgames...
Now im let my dream come true... and im buying it all!
I have fond memories of just standing in front of board games and wishing too! Buying games is so addicting ahah :) -Ashton
@@Shelfside absolutly... 😁 thx for texting me back. Greetings from Switzerland - Nico
@@n.riffer cheers from other side of the pond! Keep gaming :D -Ashton
Wow, you really managed to capture the experience of the last year and a half of my life. I’m about 25 kickstarters backed now and 2k In cardboard. Smh, very funny though, you got a new subscriber.
GAS - Game Acquisition Syndrome. Also agree you missed the ‘Kickstarter’/BGG marketplace phase for when Amazon and/or you local board game store just aren’t enough any more. Also losing you house is fine as long as it forces you to move somewhere without a local board game store (I was called a ‘valued customer’ in mine the other day and give free cake - the horror, the horror)
One great perk for owners of TI:3 is that the box can double as shelter.
This is the Requiem for a Dream of board gaming.
I play... Catan (C&K is the only expansion we do, though we have 2 others), Stratego, Chess, Monopoly, and Scrabble. Yup, that's all my board gaming.
This has to be one of the funniest board game themed video I have ever watched... and I watched Things Get Dicey!
CAH? I'm old school...Magic! I'm at level 6. Jealous the guy has the Battlestar collection and TI4! I can afford them, just have too many games I've already invested in and haven't played yet. Kickstarter should come after level 6 because those games are at least twice as pricey as store bought, usually even more expensive! Maybe Kickstarter was part of level 7 in the video, because that will quickly drain your wallet! 100+ games here, I'm mostly collecting my favorite genres and spectacular games that come out.
Spot on! I have a bunch of sealed games that I admire on my shelf.😅
My steps:
1. Friend - "Hey, here is a cool board game Arkham Horror, we could play it on TTS". Me - "Seems a little too complicated, let's try something else"
2. Played Epic Wizard Spell Wars or whatever the name, Dragon Inn, some other very light on the rules games.
3. "So, about that Arkham Horror thing..."
4. Bought Arkham Horror and Eldritch horror, soon after expansions followed.
5. Bought some big names like TI4, Gloomhaven, Western Legends, Nemesis.
6. Some lesser known stuff followed like Eclipse, Cthulhu DMD.
7. Discover kickstarter.
8. Buy Bloodborne All-in, Dead Reckoning All-in etc
9. Sitting here after watching 6:Siege gameplay, basically ready to pre-order another All-in.
One guy I met at a board game store when I was picking up TI4 told me "Run now, this is a bottomless pit". I can't believe how right he was.
As a girlfriend of a level 8 a.k.a doing crazy research, only trading, and buying a 3d printer to create personal inserts, I can vouch for the disturbing accuracy of this video.
I keep buying board games to support my plano addiction
Sees video, immediately begins guessing where I am on the spectrum... sees several shelf’s stacked. I’m somewhere between 4-5
Loved how "buy l" turned into "why" moment!! Had a very good laugh
Honestly surprised at how many peoples first non-Monopoly/chess board game was catan. I played board games for 10 years without playing catan and a friend urged me to play it with them, and i also played it with my parents twice. I didn't really enjoy those experiences but i enjoyed playing with AIs. After those 3 games though we never played catan again
telling your SO that it was an expansion and not a new game...
look, it know it looks like a new game but it just makes the old one better, I promise! It didn't even cost that much!
@@Shelfside Or "Oh, this is a kickstarter from last year, so it's not like I spent money on it when we couldn't afford it like we can't right now."
1 year later "Oh, this is a kickstarter from last year, so it's not like I spent money on it when we couldn't afford it like we can't right now."
@@ericfolsom4495
LMAO, this is me every time a new package comes in.
Eric Folsom also “why is there a charge for Kickstarter on the bank statement?” “oh that? Um...oh yea I backed that a long time ago and just forgot to cancel the pledge.”
I’m at stage like 5 or 6. I lost it at the jaws of the lion reference 😂 I’ll be saying the same thing when frosthaven comes out!! Wish this pandemic wasn’t happening so I could go play some board games at local board game stores
I too see a floating Rodney Smith before me when I am in a zen-like state. ;D
Great video! Well done.
"In my dreams, a man garbed in flannel welcomes me to watch him play..."
Catan was definitely my gateway. But what got me into it was me just getting bored of video games so I bought it and tried it with friends
had something similar for sure! Was irritated at having someone sit out when we had 5 players actually during gamecube nights, so I bought the 5-6 expansion for Catan :) -Ashton
Pretty accurate
“BUY!” Lol
Hope I don’t make the last level though!
I don't remember sending for you, so why are you coming for me?!!!
Of crap, I’m 1:07 in and this is getting way to real.... I just bought an airbrush to paint my twilight imperium figurines. 😅
Really love your videos and channel keep up the great work. Helped convince me I really don’t need a board game table.
Glad we could help!
Haha I don't even need to watch the whole video to know this will be a hilarious video 🤣
ps: I watched till end. Love it!
Wow! Tigris and Euphrates. Excellent choice. Also I have 60+ board games and have played all of them. I’m so lucky my friends love board games
I’m before level 7 for sure. I’m trying to pick a number that my collection should be, but I have no idea what that number should be. I did sell/giveaway two of my games last month, so baby steps!
I'm glad he didn't find out about Tabletop RPGs. I started with Irownsworn because it was free. Little did I know drug dealers also give you a sample for free. Now I've purchased:
Dungeons & Dragons, Numenera, Mothership, Electric Bastionland, FATE, The Black Hack, CyberPunk Red, Feng Shui 2, and Savage Worlds
I own 130+ board games, and I've played only 30+ of them.
Yes, I have a board game addiction, and I'M OK WITH IT.
Recommendations?
@@nicford1486 this is my collection with ratings. Unrated games haven't yet been played. boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/giovannifusco00
And I'm waiting for Photosynthesis and Toledo to be delivered. But I'm planning to buy more games, including Imhotep, Quest for El Dorado, Targi, Kahuna, Dice Masters Justice Campaign Box, Istanbul Big Box, Nyet!, Yinsh, Tzaar, Concordia, Kanagawa, Magic Maze and King of Tokyo.
I played Codenames and I found it really really boring. I also prefer Scythe Digital Version, as I found the board game version to be just really hyped because of the illustrations. I just don't care much about a game's theme, and I don't understand why gamers do.
Relatable but doubled. 😂😅

Kinda nostalgic:)
Cheers man :)
Had a great time making this one, still surprises me to this day how well it did! -Ashton
I don't think you know how accurate this video was.
My gateway boardgame was 7 wonders. Nothing but buy buy buy from there. With a recent purchase of a full battlestar galactica set (my preciouuuuuuuuus!)
Currently on step 3, let's see how long before i give in to temptation and go to step 4
BUY BUY BUY
The lack of Dominion expansions on that shelf is disturbing
Only level 7, what a light-weight. I ascended to level 9, I now AM a board game!
One thing that kind of launched me right back into stage 4 after years was when a friend came over and exclaimed, wow you have more games than Minds Cafe (a local board game store/cafe with hundreds of games). I dunno why, but something in me clicked and I took that like a personal challenge to make a reality and not just an exaggerated exclamation (I don't actually have that many games in my flat ... yet).
ahahaha, you accepted the challenge! So many different types of games, player counts, themes... aaaggghhhh! -Ashton
love love the video. currently on stage 4.5 : selling games and buying more games.
BUY. SELL. BUY
I am currently at level 4. This is too accurate. I have my wife next to me screaming this is you! YOU!!!
hopefully you can avoid my final ending here :) -Ashton
My catan was one night werewolf, once I sat down to play it hours passed and then I realised it was 1 AM and my friends were still at my house
“BUY BUY BUY BUY”
Hit me in the feels..
I actually went through a bunch of board games before i settled on a theme. Basically i concentrated on smaller gateway games than bigger games. I do plan on getting a few easy to learn games like Taverns of Tiedandal
