  One thing that I learned quickly is that I am the type of gamer who prefers having one or two favorites for each primary mechanic, and culling the rest with that primary mechanic (unless there&apos;s a compelling reason to keep it, like a mechanic mashup). It&apos;s really helped me cut down on boardgames that I like but don&apos;t love, and most everything I own gets to the table regularly now. I don&apos;t have the same FOMO for holding onto games I&apos;m lukewarm about because I am comparing them to games with the same mechanic that I play the most and asking &quot;Would I rather play this than my favorite game with that mechanic?&quot; The answer is almost always no, and so I trade away or sell those games, because games deserve to be played.

  One has to remember the Fun-Density of a game before buying. o.O

  I was not aware of the website and the search feature. I&apos;ve lost count of how many times I scoured your videos searching for a specific board game. My life will be so much easier from now on!

  I heard a guest on a podcast once say he doesn’t buy new books. He waits at least a year or more to see where they end up falling. &nbsp;I think the same applies to board games. They’ve proven that ratings for a game on BGG are overinflated for the first little while, then fall down to a more accurate score after a year or two. It’s a good strategy to avoid crappy games.

  11. Don&apos;t buy a game that your friend or friends already have; specially if they are from your regular game group... &quot;But maybe I want to play with other people too&quot;. Yeah that&apos;s why you have more than 200 options in your shelf that you bought thinking exactly the same situation
