  • 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?

I'm a specialist. I played a decent amount of different games, enough to know what I like. My collection is small, around 30 games, ranging from Boonanza to Frosthaven. I have a game for every occasion and I really like them ALL. I buy a new game every year or so and every couple of years I do a 'clean up' and sell a few game that I've lost interest in.

I must admit: I keep a few games that I should part with, but I just can't do it (Catan, Monopoly).

Only about one game in a year? You own around 30? That indeed sounds like a refined collection. If you find the time you should post one of those „This is my collection“ pics! I‘d be interested!

Well, it's refined to my taste, but yeah. And it's not that I started building my collection 30 years ago XD The 'one game a year' thing is going on for 5 years or so. There was a period I bought and was given many games a year.

I'll do a first time ever collection post on social media per your request when I get home. Should be fun :D
