Better than my .05 percent!

Although I’m an Ameritrash boardgamer , I barely touch dice-based games anymore (eg. dungeoncrawlers, miniature games), and there’s pretty much NO overlap between miniatures I’d like to paint, and games I want to play. With Gloomhaven, I at least have miniature proxies, but Dominion is solely a card-based game.

“Unfortunately” painting miniatures is a challenge (albeit usually a frustrating one), so I have some reward out of it when I’m done or during the paint job. Plus there’s an “I did that” feeling when I pull out a painted miniature from the plano box. Very different than videogames, which I didn’t feel any sort of “accomplishment” after playing a game.

Anyway, Halloween is coming up, and you can always give away your unloved hobby things: unpainted miniatures, comic books, extra Magic cards, etc. Better than floss and toothbrushes, and no support of the sugar industry, either!
