There is no “left behind”  or a need to get the latest releases just because they are shiny and new.
Ain’t nothing wrong with playing old games if you like them and the new one doesn’t add anything worth having.

There is only one question that matters : am I having fun?

If I were to pair down my collection to just the games I’ve played (enough of) I’d be down to 0 (zero).
Reducing it to just the ones I have played at least more than once I’d end up with 2 (Flames of War + Bolt-Action) and both were bootcamps …

I simply can’t say ‘no’ to games that have great art and interesting concepts/mechanics.
And then there’s the games that I want an army for simply because it looks like a fun project.

I’ve tried to start making a list of games I ‘must have’ and ones I could afford to throw in a bin, but I keep getting distracted simpy by browsing through my collection or reading the (gaming)news. Even if I pair it down to just one style of game per setting I find ways to add ‘more’ to the list…
