As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this I thought, "Bootleggers! Such an underrated game!" It's not for everyone, it's pure negotiation with lots of threats, but it's so fun, and there aren't games like that anymore.
I have been working on slimming down my collection, so the #cull vibes are real. There just isn't enough time to play everything and I would rather the games get played than sit on my shelf!
I find the hardest part of getting rid of games is actually the hassle of listing/selling and dealing with buyers. I find they just sit on a shelf to #cull until I find the time.
#cull I know I need to remove some games from my collection because they do not get played often, but I find it hard because they all feel special to me in different ways. Hats off to those that are able to part with them.
I'm rotating things out of my collection pretty often. I usually utilize the math trades on BGG. I don't add brand new games too often so a 1:1 swap for something new works out well for me. Keeps my collection fresh and allows me to move things out that I didn't care for or won't get played. I recently moved my Star Wars Legion collection and Imperial Assault collections in math trades. These both freed up quite a big of room for me. Next month I think I'll be looking to move on from Circadians: Fight Light Second Edition for sure, maybe a few others. #cull
We gamers need to #cull our collection more often. It's hard though, most of us are attached emotionally to many of our beloved games! Bravo in a sizeable cull!
Has the announcement of the new Expeditions expansion changed your mind about ditching the game? It seems to address the first turn issue that you pointed out, kinda TM Prelude style. I'm still not sure I'm keeping my copy, but I'm curious what you think about it.
The issue I have is I don't have any board game stores near me anymore, used to go in like you and buy games on sale, and sell ones their. Right now I am trying to sell Canvas, because my game group absolutely hated it, but no ones biting because I never got the newest expansion. Mainly though I am buying less games because their all arriving right now, just days apart. Just got Skyrise, Slay the Spire, Biohack, and Leviathan wilds all just this week.
Champions of Midgard was one of my first favorite worker placement games. I am one of the people that stands by it not needing the "essential" expansion people mention. End of the day, it's terrific, but Raiders of the North Sea has taken its spot on the shelf.
I'm torn about what to do with my copy of Expeditions. I agree with you that the game is just "ok". But, the promise of an expansion has me hesitating to #cull it. My first two plays of Champions of Midgard were back to back plays, one with no expansions, and one with all expansions. The expansions do add more stuff, but not necessarily more enjoyment. Play your base copy, THEN buy the expansion of you like it, or get rid of it if you don't. It's a staple in my collection. Great video!
I feel like I have gotten stricter on multiple fronts. It takes more for me to buy a game, I am more likely to look for something I want as a trade - so forced to replace something else, and if I do decide to buy, I have to have plans to play it. This keeps me from needing to #cull my collection often.
#cull The biggest problem for me and most of my friends is space. We back too many games that come in too many boxes. I will probably have to do my first cull and sell Senjutsu, I haven't even played it yet. It was an impulse purchase, and it is competing for our time with skirmish games that are tested and loved. Maybe solo mode will save it, but then I will have to find something else to sell. I hope after first one it will get easier.
#cull The main problem is definitely space, but time and varied preferences among my friends are also not a negligible hurdle... Ah, board games are stressful!
I have yet to actually need to cull anything since I am new to the hobby. I believe I have 31 games in my collection so far but I’m definitely starting to have shelf space issues already 😅. #Cull
I just purchased One Deck Dungeon and LOVED it so it is making me revisit whether or not I need to move on from Mini Rogue and Tiny Epic Dungeons. Those games may be too similar to ODD. I plan on playing each of those a few more times before I make a decision. #cull
It's so hard to let go of games but I need the space! 😅 It's nice to think of it as a library. I only sold The Crew since I started the hobby, I like to streamline my games now to also have solo modes. #cull
#cull I thought I was going to put a couple games at the sale, ended up putting 13 in. Once I started pulling, there were several like Horseless Carriage (by all accounts a really good Splotter game): highly regarded, but not only have I not tabled it, I don't have any plans to table it. I have new KS/GF coming in, a ton of games I love, and so at this point even if it's a good game, if I don't see myself playing it then I'm moving on from it. I've sold a lot of games in the last 12 months, including ones that I thought I was really going to regret, and I've only actually regretted selling one to the point where I bought another one (Forbidden Stars). So I also don't waste time thinking I may regret it - unless it truly is a grail game that is impossible to find, I can always get another copy if I truly regret my decision.
Currently my game colletion is not big enough for me to consider #cull ing it just yet, but I will definitely keep in mind the idea not to clutter my colletion with games that I won't play/enjoy as much as others
#cull. One of these days I need to actually go through and cull my collection. I’m getting close to 700 and still have several backed games coming. I’m running out of room for them, but have a hard time getting rid of games I enjoy.
#cull I recently got rid of a lot of games. I just needed to be realistic with myself on what games are getting played or will in the future. For the past few months I've been diving deeper into a smaller number of games, so I felt fine giving others new homes.
#cull so I am always trying to cull to keep the collection from growing. Unfortunately I still seem to have more entering than leaving I think sometime soon I need to have a bigger cut but is going to be hard
I need to be better about #cull -ing games man. They are piling up, I just have such a hard time letting them go. It's odd as I have never had an issue with anything else, I can throw crap out without a second thought, but I turn in to Gollum with my games.
#cull my recent sales have not gone as well as they used to. Happy to pass stuff on at a good price but the dip in value retention is making me be pickier and buy less games in general.
#cull Hard to do sometimes when you are attached to a game for whatever reason. Also hard when you mistakenly bought a bad game and everyone else seems to know so they don't buy it back!
Oh gosh, for me usually it's a big deal to #cull a game I like and want to play a lot but never have the group to do this, so such games staying in my collection for now, even 1 play of it in a year will make me happy. But sometimes is it easy to #cull off a game that is simply not mine by a mechanic, genre, or player account like Santorini, Chtulhu DMD, Unmatched. I`m not a big coop fan, but wondering why no one wants Adventure Tactics for a pretty chip price for such a game. I thought it`s a popular game, but probably it will leave my collection for charity
#cull, I have the hardest time culling games. I will list 10+ games and two will sell and whats weird is the higher priced ones sell better all of the ones I have dropped to $10 or a lot less than what I bought it for.
#Cull I’ve just started building my collection so presently don’t have a need to cull but I’ll gladly take a few games off people’s hands that do have too many games!😂
#cull Nearing storage capacity, while still have some games i crowdfunded. Appreciate the video as it gives me some realistic expectations on selling some games. Thx!
#cull I’m just starting my collection and it’s been important to not buy everything that seems interesting! I’ve only got games that are going to be played in the same month. And is working great. I can’t get a game if it’s only going to be played 1-2 time a year. (That’s my self imposed restriction 😂😂)
I have a few games that I’d like to #cull. Most are just ones that have been replaced with better alternatives and they are just collecting dust. Some are ones that just didn’t work for me or anyone in my group so not worth keeping.
#cull No not On Mars 😭 To be more serious I've been culling semi-regularly. Also thought about On Mars, simply because it doesn't see playtime anymore, no time for such long games 😅 There is one game I currently have on sale : Dinosaur World, because we prefer its predecessor Dinosaur Island in terms of gameplay, and that's it. I've stopped backing for more than a year now and very rarely buy games, so my shelves aren't that overflowing (still some bit) 😆
#cull I would like to cull stone age but my wife likes that game pretty much. The other game we are thinking to possibly cull is everdale. Its not the game that we chose to play, but I have convinced my wife to give it another go. Tipicaly I am not the person who sticks with games. I can buy a game and play one and if I or my wife is not liking it I have no problem to sell it.
#cull I have so many games that I know will never get played that I want to cull. I don’t want much for them, just enough to justify shipping them to someone who will play them haha
'' I don't have the expansion so what can I do?'' Well I am glad you asked... you can BUY it ! All kidding aside, it's a shame that your group had no interest because champions of Midgard is excellent ! I have never played without both expansions, but it seems the base game would also be great but I can see the bad luck being more frustrating without at least the valhala expansion.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this I thought, "Bootleggers! Such an underrated game!" It's not for everyone, it's pure negotiation with lots of threats, but it's so fun, and there aren't games like that anymore.
which is one of the reasons I kept it, so many people told me it was great. But for what ever reason it hasnt hit the table yet.

It’s always good to cull your collection every now and then. I’m currently trying to sell my copy of GWT Argentina since it never gets played.
Has the announcement of the new Expeditions expansion changed your mind about ditching the game? It seems to address the first turn issue that you pointed out, kinda TM Prelude style. I'm still not sure I'm keeping my copy, but I'm curious what you think about it.
I need to see more of the expansion. I currently have my copy for sale on BGG and it hasn't moved yet so the market is pretty low on expeditions.
The issue I have is I don't have any board game stores near me anymore, used to go in like you and buy games on sale, and sell ones their. Right now I am trying to sell Canvas, because my game group absolutely hated it, but no ones biting because I never got the newest expansion.

Damn selling games is so hard, as soon as you buy something it's worthless. But the Vital Lacerda should be easy to sell.
Champions of midgard + Both expansions 10/10 its amaziiiiiiiiing, in my top ten! Played it a bazillion times because its so good.
Champions of Midgard was one of my first favorite worker placement games. I am one of the people that stands by it not needing the "essential" expansion people mention. End of the day, it's terrific, but Raiders of the North Sea has taken its spot on the shelf.

I've been refining and #Cull ing my collection. Still buying games and selling them if I don't like, but a lot slower than when I started.
I feel like I have gotten stricter on multiple fronts. It takes more for me to buy a game, I am more likely to look for something I want as a trade - so forced to replace something else, and if I do decide to buy, I have to have plans to play it. This keeps me from needing to #cull my collection often.
I have #cull a lot of my games over the past couple years. Now I have reached a point where I have many games that needs to be played first.
I'm still building my collection, but I can already pick out a few that will be heading out on my first #cull when it gets there.
#cull
The biggest problem for me and most of my friends is space. We back too many games that come in too many boxes.

I'm slowly going through the #cull myself :( too many board games and not enough playing
Nice job on the #cull it’s really hard letting things go (said while wearing a 20yr old shirt)

It's so hard to let go of games but I need the space! 😅 It's nice to think of it as a library. I only sold The Crew since I started the hobby, I like to streamline my games now to also have solo modes. #cull
Currently high on the list for potential #cull is Batman GCC S1 all-in.
It's so hard to #cull a collection, but when you start, it becomes easier...
No way I can #cull games from my collection! I'm building for my kids and their kids. I'll leave the culling to them. :-)

My collection is too little right now to #cull anything. I just started in April and have 13 games (44 Pieces with expansions)
Currently my game colletion is not big enough for me to consider #cull ing it just yet, but I will definitely keep in mind the idea not to clutter my colletion with games that I won't play/enjoy as much as others
I may help you #cull your collection…did you sell on mars? Working on playing the top 100 and that is one I haven’t picked up yet.
It did sell. I had it for $90 I believe and it sold within 10 minutes of me dropping it off.
#cull
I just culled honey buzz, sheriff of Nottingham, dice hospital, the crew. Just don't get them to the table enough

Hopefully you had success at Phoenix over the weekend. #cull
#Cull. Well I don't have enough games to start selling but maybe one day I will get there. Wild Assent looks fun.
I too need to #cull out games out of my collection. It's hard to part ways with games but I'm out of room!
#cull my recent sales have not gone as well as they used to. Happy to pass stuff on at a good price but the dip in value retention is making me be pickier and buy less games in general.
This is the problem. It's not as easy to resell and get close to what our idea of value is.
#cull
Hard to do sometimes when you are attached to a game for whatever reason. Also hard when you mistakenly bought a bad game and everyone else seems to know so they don't buy it back!
I have had good experiences selling games through the Dice Tower East Virtual Flea Market. #cull
I try to keep my collection small (20ish games), so I #cull games on a regular basis.
I need to do another purge. Right now on the list are La Granja Deluxe, Fall of the Mountain King. #cull
#cull I had my eye on On Mars, but it was snagged pretty fast!
#cull - original Massive Darkness with all expansions. Not sure how much to sell it for. I have everything, pillars, chests, bridges, EVERYTHING.
Oh gosh, for me usually it's a big deal to #cull a game I like and want to play a lot but never have the group to do this, so such games staying in my collection for now, even 1 play of it in a year will make me happy.

#cull (ing) is a hard thing to do, haha!
#cull So many games and so little time. Sold 10 myself and only bought one. Making progress 😂
I always feel reluctant to #cull my game collection. Maybe we'll play it in the future? Plus I paid full price for that game!
I have a good amount of games I am needing to #cull but I have lost motivation to try and sell. It has been tough lately.
#cull

#Cull - kind of unrelated, but I hope you will make more Star Wars Unlimited Content

I'm quick to #cull. If the game doesn't work for me, it doesnt get the time / space.
#cull
I am trying to sell a few but so far no real luck. It appears that people really are looking for the "in" thing. That said, I keep hope :)
I #cull dinosaur Island, villagers and ark Nova
I recently had to #cull Arkham Horror LCG. Great game but way too much content for me to explore when I love other games more.
'' I don't have the expansion so what can I do?'' Well I am glad you asked... you can BUY it !
