Tabletop board gamer, occasional designer, and video game enthusiast. Still struggling with keeping my board game collection down to around 100 titles.

I've mostly moved to BlueSky. Like all social media, it's not perfect, and further splintering of the space doesn't feel great, but I'm giving it a try.

As a board game player/collector with too many games and too much disposable income, I've figured out how to fulfill my self-imposed "one-in one-out" rule for buying new board games while also still spending more money on my little hobby.
This is thanks to the growing markets of nice wooden organizers and for "upgraded" components that are getting more common.
I especially love organizers from Tower Rex, a Ukrainian seller on Etsy, and the "Geek Up" bit replacement sets from BoardGameGeek.
I'm not sure the earth will appreciate the additional acrylic that will eventually end up in a landfill, so I'm keeping those to a small number of titles that really benefit from the tactile upgrade, as opposed to just "looking nice".
What's your favorite upgrade to a beloved board game that you're happy you got?
My copy of Glen More II: Highland Games just arrived today and I can't wait to get home to open it up! It's basically out of print and only available from the publisher now, so I'm glad I got a copy.
I also just got notified that my copy of La Granja: Deluxe Master Set has a shipping label, so that should be arriving soon too!
La Granja is the last game I crowd-funded, as I'm on a hiatus from adding new games to the collection (expansions don't count :)
Pray for me and my free time, as both titles have great looking solo-modes for between group sessions!
@host Do you know why this instance might not be working with the new Elk client? It seems unable to login, returning an error:

Is it appropriate for me to post a little ad for her here?
