“Welcome to the Jungle, we’ve got fun …. Games”

I wanted to actually sit down and learn fewer new games, and I wanted to mercilessly cull my collection of games in our house, which at the time of the “resolution” was over six hundred and fifty games. Mind you, we really don’t have a storage issue — I mean if we were more organized we wouldn’t — but as it was, there just too many games around. Too many games that weren’t getting played.
