My board game collection is complete!
**My board game collection is complete!**
Now it is complete I can finally do a COMC! My goal was to have a collection of games that could fit any occasion.
I am happy with what I have. Yes, I do have other games that I have on my wish list, but that could essentially go on forever. At this point there's nothing that I feel like I should get. There's enough games here that there's not enough time to play all of them well, and there's enough to scratch any itch or fulfil any occasion.
I still have some crowdfunding to arrive, including The Game Makers. When I saw The Game Makers I thought that would make a fitting jewel on top as an homage to my collection. Other crowdfunding to arrive include Cthulhu Death May Die, DinoGenics, Agricola, Tigris and Euphrates and a few more.
**1) How long have you been involved in the hobby?**
I've been collecting about 5 years, started after COVID (sadly ... imagine how many games I could've played had I started before COVID!)
**2) What is your favourite game?**
* My favourite games are between Frostpunk and Spirit Island.
* My most played games are Jungle Speed and Telestrations.
* My first game I owned, though it was a long time ago and so I'm not really sure, was probably Jungle Speed then Carcassonne Big Box.
* My most prized game is definitely Firefly Anniversary edition (not shown as it's too big to fit on the shelf), Frostpunk with the Iceberg Box, and Game of Thrones with Mother of Dragons expansion and a third party REALLY big neoprene playmat.
* My most under rated game I own is Planetarium. Love that game.
* I don't really consider anything I have to be rare or valuable but if I had to say something rare I'd probably say Planetarium expansion Primordial, try to get that one! Also Monopoly from the 1950's, which I didn't want but it came as part of a bundled package with Pandemic Legacy (of all things) because they were selling it all super cheap.
**3) What would you change about your collection if you could?**
I wouldn't change anything about my collection. It was curated to remain static.
Probably the main games still on my wish list include:
* StarCraft+Brood Wars and Battlestar Galactica expansions: I had the chance to have all of them but I turned them down, not even necessarily because they were expensive, but because I don't know when I'd even get the time to play them, especially as they're older games and there are sooo many cleaner modern ones. (Someone was selling a shrink-wrapped Brood Wars! I decided I couldn't buy it if it was unopened because I wouldn't have the heart to open it!)
* Lords of Vegas: this was once my most wanted board game, but now I have so many good ones and it's expensive to import, so it's kinda gone cold for me
* Zombicide: I'm still interested in going a little deeper into Zombicide (I have Night of the Living Dead) and I'm debating getting Dead Men Tales, but I think the 2nd Edition is the one I'm most interested in because it's your classic zombies invading cities
* Merchants & Marauders expansion Seas of Glory: I have the base game, but the expansion is probably my most wanted game item of all, and I would buy it if I had the chance.
* The Downfall of Pompeii: this looks like a fun game, I want to see people burn in lava haha!
**4) What makes my collection special?**
Two things: 1) Over half of these games are second hand! Some of these games I got ridiculously cheap, so even though this collection looks expensive, it's not. 2) My collection is curated not just for every occasion, but for large groups specifically. My gaming sessions routinely have over 10 people, and we all join in the same game. I think the most has been something like 22 people. For larger groups we play things like Telestrations, Salad Bowl, Two Rooms, Wits and Wagers, etc. There's actually a lot of games out there if you look. They are our most fun nights. One day I will open Blood on the Clocktower ...
**5) Other topics**
My current sub-interest is medieval board games. I'm excited for my LUDOS Ancient Game collection arrive. I just spent the weekend at a medieval festival playing Liar's Dice with festival-goers. I hope to make it more of a thing I can offer to medieval events.
My other sub-interest extends to improvised games as well. In fact if I was to change my collection in any way it would be to move further into Once Upon a Time/Someone Has Died territory, maybe getting Aye Dark Overlord and Fiasco (rare game), and finally moving into improv games that require no actual materials.
**Thanks for looking!**
