    Just wondering on average, I know there’s always exceptions, how long on average does everyone hold onto their games before “out they go”. I play the shit out of my games and then almost like clockwork, after 12 -16 months, I burn out and out they go. I know there’s people who have games for 20+ years and I always wonder...why? One of the best parts of this hobby for me is getting a new game, playing the hell out of it, then switch it up. Now I just have to figure out how to set up a poll...please hold.

    I also meant to ask if you’re usually 1-2 years kinda guy/gal but you have one that’s been there for 10 yrs, what is it? And why?

    One thing I did last year, and I don’t recommend, is turning over most of my collection at once. 5 games in 3 months was a horrible idea. I was bouncing from one machine to the other and never gave the newcomer my undivided attention so it took me forever to figure out the rules and strategies (and shots) for each game.
