That's why I've compiled a list of tips that would have helped me when I first started my collection! Keep in mind, these are tips that would've worked for ME. We're all different, so who knows if these resonate with you?

That Meeple photoshopping killed me 😅😂
This is one of the best tips you mentioned: Most great games end up coming back to crowdfunding with expansions or reprints, so wait and if a game is good, it will come back (usually).
CMON may be the except to this rule, but can often find backers selling them later, and if you do back a CMON game, it will sell 100% of the time, often with a bit of a profit.
04:12 best advertisment i have ever Seen!
Great topic. Great presentation. I, sadly, resonate with TOO many of your observations. Buying addiction, ☑️. Free shipping at $100, ☑️. Unplayed shelves of shame, ☑️. And so much more. Keep it up. Very enjoyable.
If there's any problem that messes with me most consistently, it's free shipping at $100. Whoever came up with that sales strategy, kudos.
Bonus advice 1: find people who also like board games and, if you play together regularly - there's no need for all of you to buy every game.
Bonus advice 2: find gameroom near you. It's like library, but with games :)
This is quickly becoming my favorite tabletop channel. Keep up the great work for the sake of helping me get through my workdays… please.
Wow, what an amazing compliment! Glad to have you on board!
Just letting you know this is the second video of yours I've watched and you're a really great presenter of information. Keep it up! I had to stop buying when my shelf of shame got bigger than my already opened collection. Went on a bit of a binge there, and I definitely feel the "free shipping minimums" problems.
Happy to have you, pal!
woww.. tip 5 hit a little too close to home there.. glad it was prologued with a few farts to lighten the mood... that helped ease the sting.
I suffer from "my collection needs all the highly rated, sought after, grail games that are held in such high esteem by fellow board gamers even though deep down I don't actually find that must satisfaction from them and dread setting them up and would rather gouge my eyeballs out with a spoon than teach it to someone" syndrome. I recognize my faults though. This week I made a step in the right direction! I finally let go of A Feast For Odin. It was tough. But I accepted how I truly feel about the game and decided I no longer needed it. Please don't tell me I made a huge mistake though! I'm a little fragile at the moment.
That’s really funny that you mention FfO… I just saw it on sale and it’s been on my “to buy” list forever, and I DIDN’T buy it! I took it off my list, in fact! Hooray for New Year’s clarity
@@boardandsaviorgames did we just become best friends?! I may or may not have turned around and immediately poured the money I got from AFFO into 4 other brand new game purchases... that's a different problem for future me to look after!
Cheers!
@@markmoss8677 okay, you gotta stop with the similarities, because I totally didn’t buy like 5 games yesterday.
Cheers right back!
As someone just getting into the hobby, and as someone who also loves the researching/purchasing/anticipation of any purchase... This was the video I needed to be more mindful of this new but amazing hobby. Thank you for the video! You got yourself another subscriber.
Welcome!
Great video, a really entertaining way to bring across your points. i can say i share some of your experiences and was able to spare me of some just by watching other people´s collections. Always better to learn from the mistakes of other people
Great Video. Thanks to youtube algorithm gods for recommending it to me!
Solid advice
Great video! I’m happy to have discovered your channel! Please keep it up!
Man, you are so funny. I love your content. Keep up the good work and thank you for the tips
Thanks so much!
TTS is wonderful with regards to trying new Kickstarters before pulling the trigger, and retail releases of course. It's saved me a lot of money. 😄
I was also super lucky to have a friend with a significant collection before I started buying my own. It meant that I already knew I didn't enjoy party games, or trick taking, etc, so I didn't waste space or money on styles of games I wouldn't play.
Great video! Subscribed!
Good stuff! Really informative video and quality production :D. I expect your channel to grow quite a bit if you keep this up.
Good advice. BoardGameCo is doing his top 100, and in the last chapter of his 30-31 video he also gave good advice. IDK if anything was left out here, but that bit is worth watching as well.
TH-cam suggested i watch this video, you now have a new subscriber 👍
Welcome aboard!
Your video presence is stellar, the dynamic angles and cuts in between segments are fantastic and set you apart from a lot of other board game creators.
Subscribing for this epic breath of fresh air!!!
Wow, thank you!
the first few minutes I swear you narrated my life, though no munchkin lol
You were lucky to escape that game
u deserve more subs! You’re so damn hilarous 😂 New sub here!
Photosynthesis under the bed? 😂 One of my favourite games.
I love the components for Photosynthesis, but I’ve cooled a bit on the game itself.. I haven’t tried Evergreen by the same designer, but I’ve heard some people suggesting it’s something of a Photosynthesis 2.0!
@@boardandsaviorgames Yes, but i don’t have Evergreen yet. It sounds interesting too.
Great advice but I also feel like having to experience these phases is part of the process of becoming a gamer.
You might be right about that… we gamers live tough, expensive lives haha
Go Bills!
Go Bills!
Maybe I missed it, and maybe it's obvious, but *Keep a "want" list.* These could be want-to-play or want-to-buy. Either way, you can look at the list for a week, or a month, and delete those you cool on (or move games from "buy" to "play"). If you have any doubt, don't buy it. If you are 99% sure you will enjoy it, and get other people to play it, then pull the trigger.
Love it!
Too many collectors, not enough players. I know people who buy 2-5 games a month year after year. They only play each game once or twice on average. Not the best way to learn all the nuances and subtle strategies games have to offer.
What about Board Game Arena?
Yes! I haven’t used it myself but I’ve heard good things!
Find a good gaming group and try the games physically as well as digitally before you buy them. There’s nearly always someone with he new hotness who wants to people to play it with.
Good one!
Ahh yes, not many people speak the sophisticated language of handfart. My school only taught ubbi dubbi and Spanish unfortunately.
Ah, rats. I've gotten most of my jobs because "fluent in handfart" was on my resume.
