Used In Shrinkwrap

I enjoy the look of new games in their shrinkwraps. I have developed a way to keep games somewhat in their original shrink wrap. Playing a game and opening the box feels like i am opening up a brand new game each time. Anyone have any tips on it hopefully staying forever or anyother way you guys preserve your games?

ALSO Did anyone else know that the Dune boardgame had a Barnes and Nobles exclusive edition!?

Isn't Ticket to Ride Seriously Underrated

I've had the europe version for years now and it's an evergreen game I can play it with anyone and everyone and it's so easy to learn but hard to master and I can't believe people atleast in my country don't know about this ig this is better than most board games and it has everything from blocking each other's routes to spamming locomotives just to tease your friend is next level experience

Do you ever intentionally lose games even if the rest of your group isn't quite in your league?

There are 4-6 people in our regular group (m'y wife and I are polyamorous...), but realistically, if everyone played to win every time, I would win 108% of the time.

So sometimes, I will intentionally try a ridiculous strategy, like not watching a 100 hour video on the recent meta, or even playing with the color that has the ugliest minis. The goal of our game night is that I have a good time, and drinking the other players bitter tears of frustration is really what I'm after.

Of course I'm so subtile they don't suspect a thing and it's not like I'm throwing the game. I'm still greatly superior to all these people who don't even know what a bgg weight rating is and I still win, always.

I'm curious how other, less talented groups handle it...

I simply MUST be playing a game AT ALL TIMES

If someone is talking to me and the conversation is dry, I pull out Patchwork solitaire, simple as that 😤

What engine building game lets you play with your penis the most?

I love engine builders but the problem I have is they all seem to end when your erection is "getting good".

I want my cake and eat it to

Looking for a good shrink wrap machine

I’ve finally realized the flaw in the whole “you need to play your games” philosophy.

Sure, I can open the game, play it, and enjoy it. But then what? I’m left with an unwrapped game sitting on my shelf.

Clearly the only reasonable solution is to rewrap every game after I play it.

So I’m looking for recommendations on a good, efficient shrink wrap machine. Ideally something fast enough that I can rewrap a game immediately after every play without turning game night into a two hour packaging operation.

Bonus points if it can make the game look factory sealed again so nobody ever has to know I actually played it.

What are you guys using?

Been Collecting 2 years … got more on the way

Started this back around 2024

First game was Zombicide 2nd Edition

My Favorite a game is Black Rose Wars-Rebirth

I like my collection because it contains games with a lot of themes of stuff from when I was a kid, Star Wars, Marvel, TMnT, He-Man etc

If I could change anything, I would organize by game mechanics, deck builders, trick taking, etc
