Same. I used to be much better about culling games, but the last few years I've gotten pretty bad about not letting go of games.

This is an inspiring video series about culling board games from @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social! I related to so much of what Paula talked about, especially on deciding what to keep vs cull. As physical space runs out, it starts affecting your mental health, too #boardgames youtu.be/OqO9iI3BmBA?...
