Cardboard Court 007 The Buy-or-Pass Test | How We Decide Which Games Earn a Spot on Our Shelf 🎲
How do you decide whether a board game is worth buying? In Episode 007 of Cardboard Court, we're pulling back the curtain on our personal decision-making process and discussing the factors that help us determine whether a game is an instant purchase, a "wait and see," or an easy pass. With thousands of new games released every year, no one can buy everything. We talk about the criteria we use to evaluate games before they ever hit our table, including theme, mechanics, player count, replayability, price, shelf space, reviews, and whether a game fills a unique role in our collection. In This Episode: 🎲 What catches our attention when a new game is announced 💰 How price and value influence our decisions 🔄 Replayability versus one-and-done experiences ⭐ How much weight we give reviews, ratings, and recommendations ✅ What turns a game into a must-buy We'll also share examples of games we bought immediately, games we regretted purchasing, and titles we were glad we skipped. Whether you're trying to build your first collection or refine an already overflowing game shelf, this episode offers insight into how we navigate the endless stream of board game releases and make purchasing decisions. How do you decide if a game deserves a place in your collection?
