I'm still surprised that I have unboxed over 100 games & expansions in a five month period despite… everything.
Thanks again for tagging along in this venture. As always, please take care of yourselves and stay safe. ✌

4) Notwithstanding the pathogen’s tariff pandemonium, TRY to keep on being an ambassador to the tabletop community & everything gaming. Promote with hot ten lists. Help in playtesting. Attend board game nights. Anything as a means to continue the fun. Streaming still may be in the works…

3) Play these games and more! I definitely want to get back onto my Solo Play Challenge (from 2023) to play games having solo variants and to catch up on music I've accumulated. Will post an updated spreadsheet.

2) I've compiled a spotify playlist of the unboxing songs posted alongside many of my photos on Instagram. Listen to "A Sampler to Unbox Board Games To" playlist here: spoti.fi/42UpQel Spreadsheet: bit.ly/SamplerUnbox...

1) Far fewer unboxing posts, of course. Getting through my mountain of unboxed games was a massive undertaking. I first posted these photos on more-public social mediums Instagram and Bluesky for more exposure. I plan to also post them on BoardGameGeek; Keep an eye out for them there!
