The time a guy at a con in Atlanta made me rethink my whole collection
I was at a board game convention last fall, showing off my prized copy of a rare, out-of-print game. This older guy, maybe in his 60s, looked at my shelf and just said, 'You own all those, but how many have you actually played more than twice?' I had to admit, over half of my 150 games were basically untouched after the first play. He told me his group of four has played the same 20 games for the last ten years, really digging into each one. It hit me that I was collecting boxes, not experiences. Now I'm trying to sell or trade the ones I don't love. Does anyone else feel pressure to own the new hotness instead of just enjoying what you have?
