I'm just going to play a few epic games of Riskopoly, the greatest game ever....

Much simpler than choosing between 50 inferior games ;)

Wouldn't my collection be larger if that were true? I only pwn 55 games there.

Well, it looks like one Mr. Schaefer is tied with me: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/The+Schaef?own=1&ff=1

I literally have a storage room full of board games at my house....I don't think I would want to meet anyone who has more games than my family.

@Mark:

I linked nearly every game on your list.  Click through to the geek, go to Record Information at the bottom, and check "Own".  It will automagically add it to your collection, no need even to save a setting.

And while you're at it, let us know your Geek name so we can friend you.

And also, I added all those cheap non-games from your list that everybody already has (are you seriously claiming ownership of Tic-Tac-Toe?!?).  That brings my current collection to 63.

Hey Prof. would you sell Risk 2210? that's one that I've been trying to find for a while

Thanks Schaef.  I'll try to do that.  My Geek name is Sir Pent.

And also, I added all those cheap non-games from your list that everybody already has (are you seriously claiming ownership of Tic-Tac-Toe?!?).  That brings my current collection to 63.
Actually I have a cool wooden Tic-Tac-Toe game with marbles that go inside it, so yes :)  And I added Jenga and Set to my list of games since I forgot about it.  That brings my total to 61, so you still have the lead :)

Hey Prof. would you sell Risk 2210? that's one that I've been trying to find for a while
Thanks for asking, but definitely not.  I would recommend buying online from ThoughtHammer for only $33.75. (http://www.thoughthammer.com/advanced_search_result.php?inc_subcat=1&keywords=risk+2210&categories_id=&osCsid=656dc9e996723076f12f2ee984fcf328&x=0&y=0)

Yep. I play more CCG's than board games.

FWIW, I haven't forgotten about this thread, and intend to post an actual picture (as the thread asks).  I was just waiting for my next big acquisition to arrive.  So probably within the next 24 hours.

Oo, what's in the shipment?

I guess we'll find out soon enough, but I'm still curious.
Title: Re: Board game collection pictures?
Post by: The Schaef on January 29, 2009, 02:40:19 PM
I'll try to have the pic up this evening, but I will say it is almost certainly the largest game box in my collection now.
Title: Re: Board game collection pictures?
Post by: TimMierz on January 29, 2009, 03:43:18 PM
Since I'm guessing you didn't get the (huge) kids' geography game Take Off, my guess is Twilight Imperium?
Title: Re: Board game collection pictures?
Post by: The Schaef on January 29, 2009, 05:34:50 PM
OH DUDE that would be so sweet.

You are close but that's not correct.
Title: Re: Board game collection pictures?
Post by: The Schaef on January 29, 2009, 07:39:09 PM
OK so this is my collection.  It may yet be missing a couple boxes.

Highlights include Dominion, LotR Risk, Race for the Galaxy w/Expansion, Cutthroat Caverns w/Expansion, Star Wars: Epic Duels, Star Wars: Queen's Gambit, Mwahahaha!, Journeys of Paul in roll-out tube form, Memoir '44 + Eastern Front tucked away in the official Campaign Bag... and now Starcraft.  :D

You'll also note that, with the exception of Bible Apples to Apples (and I guess City of Bondage  ::) ), I have the entire collection of Cactus board games.   :liturgy:

Schaef how good is the SC board game? Do you have a BGG link?
I have heard some not so good things about the SC board game.

#1 - it is expensive (but so are a lot of games so that's not a big deal)
#2 - it is only fun if you play SC the computer game (but a lot of people do so that's not a big deal if you are one of them)
#3 - it makes you manually do all the stuff that the computer does for you in SC which is tedious and not fun (probably a big deal)

Of course this is hearsay, so I would submit to Schaef's opinion after he plays it, considering that I find him to be a good judge of games.

I'll discuss Starcraft in a separate thread to keep this about collection photos.
