In Episode 14, we discuss Culling board games from our collections. To start off the episode, we chat about the games that are bringing us joy: Nucleum, Clank!: Catacombs, Railroad Tiles, and Barrage.

Gillean and Becky have been building a board game collection since 2011 and have culled over 65 games; Angela and Reed are newer to curating their collections through thoughtful purchases and culling choices. With the motivation of selling games at the first (hopefully of many!!) Pacific Northwest Game Swap Oregon Edition, we discuss what motivates us to remove games from our collections, reasons we hold on to games for longer than we should, how one actually gets rid of a game, and lessons learned through the games we’ve held on to or culled. On the flip side, we also share some musings about building a lasting game collection and the importance of the people we play our games with.
