    I also really enjoy Unmatched Tales to Amaze, so Unmatched Adventures; TMNT! sounds fun. The box cover does say that Shredder and Krang will have minions so I'm assuming that the minions will work the same way.

    Man this hits close to home for me.. up until very recently I hadn’t realised I was actually calling my hobby “nerdy” when talking about board games or RPG and almost giving it a negative connotation myself. I’ve stopped the bad habit now and being more proud of it when I tell people and the response has been incredible. Let’s be more proud of our hobby and ditch the labels, cos actually this is cool, and many people outside the hobby think so too 😎

    This is the perfect opportunity to get rid of stuff. Do not bring over all to your new house. No need to display empty boxes. If it was me that would easily be tossed away or there’s a group i think that is solely for selling board game boxes. Probably worth to check out. Get some $$ out of it towards a purchase of a new game and just get rid of clutter. Then you don’t have to worry about packing everything and transporting stuff that’s going to cost you extra when it doesn’t really serve purpose.

    I owed over 2k games, twice. Here's the thing. I sold 90% of it all. Felt like a million bucks. Don't need or want all that cardboard. I know you are a content creator but owning all thise games weighted heavily on me. When i sold it I felt very light on my feet. That hoard has a life of its own and it has to be feed, housed..etc. however, if you choose to keep ot then know that it's going to be work. I'd consolidate boxes, first. Then either get a huge uhaul (otherwise you're going to make several trips) and start loading it up. Have the selves waiting for you in the new place. And, well lots of elbow grease. Don't stop too much since, at least for me I lose momentum.

    Just finished moving this past weekend. My collection is a little over 1100 games. What worked pretty well for me was I boxed up a shelf at a time. I then moved the empty shelf and those boxes. I put the shelf up at the new home and replaced the games. I then reused the boxes and did it all over again. I found that packing games Tetris style doesn’t help. For the few extra games you squeeze in , you are just stuck finding places for them when you unpack. So basically if its not from the shelf you are moving don’t pack it. Save it for the shelf it came from. It was not fun but I kept it manageable that way. And I even found some games I’ve forgotten about 😂

    From my own personal experience. I experimented a bit with different psychoaactive substances and some of them gave me more than just a 'high', it was rather like heavenly choir of archangels. As for alkohol, well, in my country drinking is (or was) part of everyday life so, well, I used to enjoy it a lot. Not to the point of overuse or dependence but still. And as an avid TTRPG solo player I can attest that certain game mechanics combined with certain type of personality can produce very peculiar kind of flow, or 'entering the Zone' as some say, that gives excitement, elation and bliss uncomparable to any other worldly pleasure, be it narcotics, sex or other common sources of joy. Letting oneself lose into a game, while not completely free of its own dangers, can hijack these parts of brain that perpetuate other sometimes less healthy habits. Thx for sharing, take care.

    When I first played this franchise I spent time trying to figure out how they would mix and match. And personally I would have done something with movable tokens for the monsters. So the icons are tied to any of the monsters and its instead part of set up (and could maybe be changed with a specific monster card even) and then have specific monster cards added for the ones you are fighting. They might be opposed to that with how simple they want it to be, but I am a fan of the specific call out cards and the deck changing

    It's faster, I like the theme more. I don't really like that in Wyrmspan players can have several more actions in a round than others players. More downtime between turns. I still liked Wyrmspan but got rid of that because I'd just rather play Wingspan.

    I would never imagine trying to play the top 100. Lol mostly because im a solo player, $$ *which you mentioned, and complexity *which you mentioned. I've learned to be happy with my preferences that aren't well liked. The joy of finding someone who likes one of your favorites vs finding some one who loves only the popular games doesn't compare. Just looked, ive only played 7 physical board games in the top 100. A few more *maybe 7 more on BGA.
