A few dozen boards games, some crazy expensive. The most recent one was the Witcher which was a Kickstarter campaign. I bought a label maker, small zip lock bags, spent a few hours punching out paper tokens and and sorting everything. Haven't played a single game.
It is actually a pretty fun game if you do get a chance to play it!
I want to try a solo game because I don't have friends that are interested. But it's daunting. I also own both Gloomheaven and Frostheaven.
I got into collecting games too. Sold about 70% of my collection in 2020 when quarantine came around and I had to face the fact that I was piling stuff on stuff and most were still sealed and unused.
Tabletop gaming is just too big of a time commitment for some of the more modern games, unfortunately, especially when I can just grab a pen, some dice, and a module from the web and play DND.
Ah yes, I also have the hobby of buying and sorting boardgames.
I made a habit of checking out Goodwill for boardgames. Best one yet was King of Tokyo for maybe $10. Like new condition.
I'm a big thrift shopper, but I can never bring myself to buy things with a lot of parts (like board games) because every time I did there was something missing :(
Or the board game geek marketplace. I usually look up all the games the seller has listed to get a bit lower price on several and save on shipping.
