Game Collection Listed
As most of my friends know, we have a ton of board games. (Well, a hard core boardgamer would easily have us beat, but it is huge collection compared to the average family.)
Scott Hanselman recently made a post that mentioned games and followed it up with a podcast on the subject. This inspired me to finish moving my games in the house around and to catalog them while I did so.
I entered the list into the BoardGameGeek web site and added a link on left to this site. It turns out we have over 125 games. I ended up listing a few items on the geek (short for BoardGameGeek) that I don't consider games. Stuff like expansions, even if they were free expansions and fit in the box with the original game get their own listings. Maybe I was just hoping to keep my total number down has it was getting to be a very high number that made me not want to list an extra 5 games as its own game. However, I didn't list all of Betsy's games either. (Betsy is my 4 year old game maniac). Our copy of Candyland is now on the verge of destroyed along with Chutes and Ladders so I didn't list them.
The picture is of the upstairs/storage bookshelf. It holds 100+ of the games. We keep the top shelf of our living room bookshelf with our most played games (or ones we want to play soon.)
