Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

For me, it's board games. I figured a few good board games could last a while. I'm sure you are (incorrectly) guessing the next step, that I just bought too many.

No, I bought Kingdom Death: Monster. And now I want the expansion packs, which combine to nearly $3000.

Maybe you can help me. I don't understand "boardgame people." Like, enjoy boardgames and tabletop games, but not playing a brand new one every time we get together.

What's wrong with playing poker or Catan or NBA Jam for the thousandth time?

The same thing that is wrong with wanting to play something new: nothing lol
