Controlling the Chaos

As I posted a while back, I have a lot of games. Over 800 board games, counting expansions. The issue with having this many games is that you eventually need to keep track of what you have so you don’t buy multiples and so people who get you gifts don’t get you games you already have.

Granted, I’m counting every expansion and every promo and everything else separately, as well as orders that are on their way, but it’s still over 800. I always tell people I have a lot of games. I explain that I have over 800, and I usually get the question, “They make 800 games?” with a look of shock on their faces.
