What kind of boardgamer are you? (feddit.de)

  • The Expert: You buy board games as often and as many as you can. You play them alone or with friends. It‘s your favorite hobby.

  • The Collector: You buy way too many games, but actually play only a handful of them.

  • The Hermit: Your prefered way of playing is playing alone.

  • The Specialist: You own a specific but small collection of games, carefully curated for every opportunity, heavy games included.

  • The Casual: You play from time to time with friends, enjoy it, but you are just getting started.

I want to get to know you better! Have I missed a kind of gamer here?

Sheepishly I'll classify myself as The Collector even though I am slowing down the purchases.

I suppose I'm also a bit of a Casual since I'm not playing super frequently - but not for lack of opportunity as there are plenty of local meetups - just don't have the time.

I agree. I have stopped buying often unless it’s a great deal and one I’ve wanted for a while. I wish that I had more time, but with a family, it just isn’t in the cards.
