  • #13 Used Games
    Nov 5 2024

    Sometimes I rub the cardboard tokens of my new games against the cement on my street to make them look like they've been played to death. They just end up looking like they got run over by a cheese grater, but hey, what matters is the satisfaction of saying I'm just better than anyone else that buys new games and plays them right out of the box. Turns out you can also just buy used games. Although, oftentimes they will still come with components that look pristine. In the unfortunate circumstances where my used games come too new, at least I'll be rubbing tokens on the cement for a fraction of the cost.

    Games we played:

    2:48 - High Society (1995, Reiner Knizia, Osprey)

    5:55 - Modern Art Card Game (2008, Reiner Knizia, CMON)

    10:05 - Tyrants of the Underdark (2016, Peter Lee & Rodney Thompson & Andrew Veen, Gale Force Nine)

    14:50 - Quarto (1991, Blaise Muller, Gigamic)

    100 games before you die:

    18:43 - Dixit (2008, Jean-Louis Roubira, Libellud)

    22:56 - Mr. Tom's Wild Ride
