If publisher doesn't even like their own game how do they expect me to?

I hear this is where I should’ve posted this COMC. My bad…

Did not play, but 7/10, because it is no longer in shrinkwrap

Buying things and using them are different hobbies.
Besides board games, what else do you buy and not use?

We all can feel this
What happened to games that didn't need a screen, a subscription, or a 14-page rulebook?
There used to be this beautiful category of games where someone would just say:
“Okay, you stand there.”
“You count to 20.”
“And don't let them catch you.”
And somehow 12 people would spend the next two hours screaming, running, cheating, laughing and inventing rules that absolutely weren't there five minutes ago.
I'm genuinely curious:
What's a game you played as a kid that you almost never see anyone playing anymore?
Not video games.
The weird neighbourhood/college/school/field games that somehow disappeared.

How to Manage WINNING all the time?!
The title is not cheeky, and this is an honest request for praise. I did not like the post about how to manage frustration while losing because I do not lose.
What is the best way to help make sure everyone else knows that you're WINNING all the time? I would never go easy on my opponent(s) to help them win, the people I play with are basically charity cases.
After you're 5-0 in Wingspan, you start to attract the attention of the World Series of Board Games. Where can I submit my application to Mensa?

What are the stuck in a room competition games you like to play?
No setup games beyond what you have on you
I’m looking for games like Morra, pitching pennies, paper/penny football, rock-paper-scissors, odds-even, 20 questions,…

Where do you keep your player game components during a game?
Most of my friends just keep them on the table and don't really give it much thought after that. I think that is completely insane as this is something one should definitely think about in great detail and develop a system for.
For example, when playing Orleans, I store my workers in my pants. I just stand up and jiggle around to shuffle them and then I grab from the front to get whatever workers i need and place them in my market. If we're snacking, sometimes I need to unbutton them or else it's too tight.
What do y'all do?

Anyone else find themselves buying tables you know won't hit the floor for months?
