Russell’s Collection


Every few years I get the desire to catalogue my complete collection. Every time I do this, I realize how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. Broadly, my tastes haven’t changed in the past 10 years, but the shape of the collection does.

This doesn’t include any games owned by my roommates which live on the “other” shelf in my office. That’s 23 more games, but I lack dispensation to do with them what I wilt.

This is, in my opinion, too many games for me to own. I’d like to pull things out of the collection and help them find a home more suited to getting them to the table and loved.
