I've been reviewing board games at therewillbe.games since 2018. If Reddit is any indication, People seem to like list articles, hearing about culling, and telling me I'm wrong. So, I thought I would go over everything I have formally reviewed and see what still resides in my collection and if I have any regrets about the games I have culled.

Comment: A few years ago, I took a bunch of my small box games, tossed the boxes, and put the games into Photo boxes. This was one of them, so it's not something I can just decide to sell. I still like this game but the recent surge of great trick taking games has pushed this out of the limelight.

Firefly Adventures: Brigands and Browncoats

Regrets?: I never did remember to check if the mini's would work with Western Legends.
Comment: GF9 ended up putting additional stories in expansions (boo) and the only ones ever added to the site were fan created ones as part of a contest (aka we farmed out scenario creation to users).

Regrets: Not Really
Comments: Crowded Race-style game genre and dated mechanics meant this went bye-bye. I believe I gave it to a non-gamer family.

Comments: Very hard to get to the table. If I have four or five players who want to play Kemet, we're more likely to just play Kemet. I probably need to make this an event game and set aside a evening to play it.

Regrets?: The last time we played this my wife said “You know, I think we are done with this game.” She hated the turn order mechanism. If I see pictures of it, I still kind of miss it. Great Game but as a co-op, we did kind of play it out...even with the expansions.

Comments: It might be a racing game and I have plenty of those but the shared hand mechanism along with the betting makes this a blast.

Regrets?: I honestly don't know what happened to this. It's simply not with the rest of my collection. I still get requests to play it from my game group from time to time but when I go to my collection, it's still not there. I hope it's out there living it's best dystopian life.

Comments: The Expansion only goes in when everyone has played the game. So, it doesn't come out as much as the base game.
