Welcome to the second in my “Cull or Collection?” Series, where I go over everything I have formally reviewed at therewillbe.games and see what still resides in my collection, what I have gotten rid of and if I have any regrets about the games I have culled. I really don't have a culling routine. but I will consign some games at a Local Game Store and, when they sell, I get store credit to fund my Discount Dive reviews
Yellow & Yangtze

Status: Culled
Regrets?: Maybe
Comment: It's hard to cull a game that you adore but know will not make it to the table because your core gaming group doesn't dig it.

Decrypto Expansion #01 - Laser Drive
![]()
Status: In Collection
Last Played: 6 months
Comment: I usually don't break this out when we play with new players.
Western Legends Ante Up Expansion
![]()
Status: Culled
Regrets?: Yes
Comment: Why in the world would I cull this from my collection? Because I am a big old softy. Someone was begging to find a copy of this on a forum when it was harder than normal to find. Since I only use it about ¼ of the times I play Western Legends, I passed this on to him. Which will likely lead to an article about using the expansions without Ante Up included...or I may just break down and buy it again.
