  • The Expert: You buy board games as often and as many as you can. You play them alone or with friends. It‘s your favorite hobby.

  • The Collector: You buy way too many games, but actually play only a handful of them.

  • The Hermit: Your prefered way of playing is playing alone.

  • The Specialist: You own a specific but small collection of games, carefully curated for every opportunity, heavy games included.

  • The Casual: You play from time to time with friends, enjoy it, but you are just getting started.

I want to get to know you better! Have I missed a kind of gamer here?

The collector. Mainly because of FOMO.

There are a handful of times where I pass on “game of the year” level games, whether due to time or money. Months later, when I’m ready to purchase it, I find that it’s out of print already and nobody has it in stock. I’m can only hope that the publishers do another print run and that my memory will remember to check on it in the future.
