Much gratitude for @Vosskah who drove to IKEA today and got a Kallax to add to the kiddo’s playroom, but this one is just for #BoardGame storage. #StateOfTheCollection #CooperativeGames #ModernBoardGames

@Vidyala @Vosskah it starts with one 2x4 Kallax. That's always how it starts.

@llanion @Vosskah Vince said this afternoon “How many games does Sean have?” and I said “I dunno, why don’t you ask him?” 😂

@Vidyala @llanion I will get you, Sean, to buy Stace and P3 a new home to store their games and toys! I’m drowning in stuff and I do not want to buy a bigger house to store this stuff!

You’re a terrible influence and I wish you were local so I could smack you behind the head. Jerk. :P

@Vidyala @Vosskah They do look super cool though, and it’s a great way of having them on display.

@Gazimoff @Vosskah Thanks Gaz! I’m so happy to have them better organized 😍 stacked haphazardly in the basement was just not doing it.

@Vidyala @Vosskah Haha, Kallax, the number one boardgame shelf. The carpenter who made our table is also making game shelves, but compared to Kallax they are super expensive.

How's Root? I always wanted to play that and have it downloaded in Tabletop Simulator, but it seems a bit complex.

@kadomi @Vosskah I have a Kallax budget, haha, too much money spent on games themselves. 😂

Root is MUCH crunchier than I expected, we played it once thinking, “Aw, a fun animals territory game!” And as we started playing I looked at Voss and went “Um, I didn’t expect this adorable game to be quite so cutthroat!” It’s definitely one of my more complicated games. I plan to focus on it for awhile sometime. I think it’s good but you’re right, it has a lot going on!

@Vidyala @Vosskah Yeah, I downloaded it for Tabletop Simulator, looked at the rules, and then never bothered. In that respect TTS is awesome, you can just test play online before committing to putting the game in your Kallax, hehe. 😃

@kadomi @Vosskah What I do now is watch “how to play” videos before I buy games so I have a better sense of whether I’ll actually like it. It’s stopped a few purchases! 😂
