Here's that [long-promised write-up](/post/2022/07/organizing-the-boardgame-shelf-with-tom) of our 2022 board game cupboard clearance--yay, lists! Yay, statistics! Since I've never done this kind of post before, it might be best to start off with a list---obviously---of everything we own, _after_ cleaning up. From hereon, we could go forward with a yearly post discussing the delta's: the old games that left the closet and the new games that entered it. This has been a small side project for a few weeks: throwing and rearranging out everything, carefully constructing a list, adding color-coded scores, applying some statistics, scrolling through others' GeekLists, thinking about what to buy next, ...---all these things made me happy, so mission accomplished.

I tried including a "optimal number of players" property in there, but it would be a bit too much. A quick count says the following about the collection: I tried including a "optimal number of players" property in there, but it would be a bit too much.

1. 26 out of 45 games (`58%`) play great with two players---14 of those (`31%`) even exclusively. We try to keep an eye on that. 1. 26 out of 45 games (`58%`) play great with two players---14 of those (`31%`) even exclusively. We try to keep an eye on that.

3. Only `24%` of our games see regular play (`++`). `20%` now and then (`+`), and `56%` almost never (`-`). Ouch. This again isn't a very accurate statistic: we bought _The Quest for El Dorado_ last week and so far we think it's awesome but it's obviously only seen play three or so times. It's a fairly telling estimation though. 3. Only `24%` of our games see regular play (`++`). `20%` now and then (`+`), and `56%` almost never (`-`). Ouch.
