The geeky but venerable [Shut Up & Sit Down](https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/videos/toms-top-92ish-board-games-as-of-march-2022/) show now and then releases "special" videos next to their regular video reviews of all things board games. I've been catching up on those lovely bits of geekiness and especially enjoyed _Tom's 92(ish) Board Games (As Of March 2022)_, in which Quinns tries to make fun of Tom's messy state of the board game cabinet---in which he largely succeeds after Tom manages to tip over almost everything on the top shelf.

Poor Tom. That said, I really like his left-to-right system, in which "things enter the shelf" on the left (board games to review and check out), the "best ones" firmly stay put in the middle, and the less stellar boxes get kicked out to the right on the pile of shame, which get sold or given away. The video inspired me to take another look at our own cabinet, bulking with stuff we barely play. I might even make another [list of top x things](/post/2022/06/creating-top-x-game-lists-is-hard). The thought of that makes me excited, yay!

The last time I thoroughly inspected Board Game Geek's [hotness list](https://boardgamegeek.com/hotness) of trending games, I recognized almost nothing. Imagine walking into your local game store with zero prior knowledge, on the lookout for a "fun game to play once and a while", you know, with physical components, on a table, preferably with a friend or two. It almost feels like that last time we ordered a new dishwasher. Completely mind-numbed after an hour or two of aimless scrolling on the internet and driving to various stores to inspect them. There seems to be too much of everything.
