boardgames

I was in a situation in the early 00s when money was even tighter than it is now. And I had a good friend that collected games and would get a lot of games. And I would buy fewer games and more rarely, since I was so broke at the time. And I'd bring them and we'd play them and he'd like them and he'd immediately buy the same games. And I'd think "if he was gonna buy a copy anyway, why did I buy one? I could've saved that money."

To answer your question: have as few games as possible and have a situation or group in mind for every game. "Here's one I can play with my boyfriend, here's one for work lunch, here's one that I think mom likes" and maybe that can be it. If you have friends with games they are probably aching to get those games to the table and if they're happy to play them with you, that's great.
