I'm not a mad collector with over 200 games, but since I've started with the hobby I've amassed some 70 games, expansions and promos included.

I won't list them all, but I try to have a game for every occasion.
This means I have some party games to play with my parents, siblings and associated significant others, Dixit (Odyssey) is a good example.

I also have some 2 player games to play with my wife: Jaipur and Lost Cities.

Then I have an extensive collection to use with my play group and these are mostly ~4p euros: Stone Age, Agricola, Dominion, etc...

My latest purchase has been Flash Point which I'm anxious to try.

Uh-oh....

To expand, i played this at a Board games club a few months back. Terrible Terrible game. Firstly its Co-op. Secondly its a bit too easy (New version may change that). its also not got much depth, the standard tactics seem to be that you split into 2 groups one of which is fighting the fire, the other is saving the hostages. I just cant see it has much replay value once you have 'won' it.

Although I did play an older version, I believe the newer one has extra stuff included.

[Davio]

I don't know, my version includes special roles.

It has a "family" and advanced version which you can pick and the board is double sided with a simpler and more difficult layout. The family version would likely be very simple, but I would want to try it with the special roles.

This version also has "hazardous materials" for extra difficulty and there are expansions for it.

I don't mind that it's coop, this game is meant to be played with my parents and siblings and they're not die hard gaming fans like me. In choosing a coop I would like to create an interactive experience and let them contribute to the game without making decisions for hem.

...my collection has grown rapidly:

The forum is bound to have quite a few hoarders, so actually listing the games here would became a bit pointless.

I have no need to own anything as I mostly play in a local club where a few frequent visitors own 200-650 games each. That said, I still own roughly 100 games (listed in BGG under the same username). My "collection" is a bit weird since I don't own most of my favorite games since I get to play them enough anyway, and in case of games with expansions (Power Grid, (Age of) Steam, Dominion etc) there will always be someone who owns everything and my copy with no/few expansions would be pointless anyway. For Dominion I have still bought most sets, even though I mostly play with someone else's set.

Nowadays I try to only buy stuff that people I know do not own, and the total count remains low as some guys buy almost everything worth playing/trying. In fact, many of them are right now in Essen collecting the crop for this year.

Much old school, did take a while until the kids grew up to appreciate moderately complex games.
I am not in contact with other gamers, the "buy stuff sb else does not own" worked for me 25 years ago but not any more.

But "get one game yorself, give one to either kid and your wife for Christmas" works for me

I'm sitting on about 200 games.  You can see my collection over at that bgg site.

Cool photo, you must have a fun household.

The paragraph beside the picture struck me as odd though.  It reads:

"This photo was taken on September 09, 2012 at 03:12 PM and uploaded on September 09, 2012 at 01:19 PM."

Does one of your games supply time-travel capability? Or did I miss something?

[Ozle]

I assume, German Local Time. US server time?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Of course.  Thank you kind sir.

I play Dominion the most then most of the other games get at least some attention and more attention when they're newer or an expansion just came out.

I own scrabble, balderdash and alias, nothing else. They are all fun games though!

Balderdash used to be my favourite game ever!

Here's my list of all games played, and all games owned. 

I blame New York City apartments for my lack of a more substantial game collection.

[Drab Emordnilap]

My latest purchase has been Flash Point which I'm anxious to try.

Don't listen to the naysayers; Flash Point is my favorite co-op game. I just got to play the new expansion I kickstarted last night.

It's definitely an accessible game, and the theme is a very strong part of that. People I've played Pandemic with who weren't very excited liked Flash Point much more; it's a lot more personal-viewpoint. "Save the kitty!"

Based on the flavor you write, it must be hilarious with you!

It is fun, although limited somewhat by the style of the text on the cards usually. They write things in a certain way and if all of a sudden you are writing for 15 minutes and the Reader has an essay to read, you dfon't get so many points!

Magic: The Gathering
Battlestar Galactica + Pegasus expansion (most played game)
A Game of Thrones (was most played, now obsolete due to 2nd edition)
Bang!
Muchkin Booty (ugh)

Homemade:
Dominion + Intrigue (yeah  )
Gosu (still unplayed)


I used the be the only guy in gaminggroup with actual games for quite a while, fortunately that changed. We now have Twilight Imperium, Nightfall, Diskworld, aGoT Second Edition x2, Arkham Horor + expansion, another copy of BSG + Pegasus + Exodus, Race for the Galaxy, Bang!: The Bullet, some other Munchkin among ourselves.

Im still the only person in my gaming group that actually buys games, very annoying!

Probably not as annoying as not having a gaming group.

I miss living in New York.  I'm just now getting my gaming group rebuilt.

I would move to New York just for the Blue Note and Theory's game collection.

Ozle, you should invest in the Cities and Knights expansion for Settlers.  It is my favourite.  I've played Seafarers but didn't think it added enough to justify the purchase.
