  • 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 love to research new games to death. I’ll read pdfs of rules, purchase them, look for expansions, etc. But I don’t play as often as I would like. I don’t have a group of friends and I mainly play with my SO. The games that hit the table most often are light to medium weight and games that work well with 2 players. I’ve loved games since I was a kid and have trouble culling my collection, but sometimes I exhaust my enthusiasm unfortunately.
