Selling Board Games Sucks (Hard)
When I was younger, I would head to a tag sale with my mom and head straight for any table that had toys or games on it. Inevitably there would be the same copies of Monopoly, Sorry, Clue, and the like; all marked at around $1. If I were lucky, there’d be something I’d never heard of before, but that was extremely rare. Fast forward to today, where that mentality of board games selling for pennies on the dollar still exists in many people’s minds. This makes it incredibly hard to sell them, which can be a problem if you’re trying to downsize a large collection.
The Terror of Learning New Games
Last weekend, after eagerly waiting for two years, Tidal Blades (#tidalbladesyall) arrived on my doorstep. The box was quickly opened, pieces sorted, and the game was prepped for its first play. It then sat in that state until yesterday when my family and I played our first game. Why did this game, one of my most anticipated games ever, sit unplayed for a full week? I still needed to learn how to play. I hate learning to play new games.
