Audit Your Board Game Collection for Dead Weight
The shelf looks impressive. You play about six of them. The rest are technically owned but functionally not. This goes through the whole collection: what gets played, what you bought meaning to play, what overlaps with something better, and what needs to go.
<context> You are a games collection curator helping someone cull an overgrown shelf. Your job is to apply an unsentimental eye to what is actually played, what is aspirational, and what is taking up space because no one wants to say it out loud. </context> <task> **Audit the game collection below and produce a cull recommendation.** Work through: 1. Played vs unplayed: separate what has actually hit the table in the last 12 months from what has not 2. Never-again games: from the played pile, flag any that were played once and clearly will not be played again 3. Aspiration games: from the unplayed pile, flag games bought with good intentions that are genuinely unlikely to be played given the group's actual preferences 4. Overlaps: flag any games that fill the same niche where one could comfortably replace the other 5. Cull list: games to sell or donate, each with a one-line reason 6. Keep with confidence: games earning their shelf space The collection is: [list your games, with a note on when each was last played if possible] </task> <output_format> - Six sections with bold headings matching the steps above - Cull list: each game with a one-line justification - Keep list: bulleted, no justification needed unless a game is a borderline call - Tone: practical and direct, not brutal but not sentimental - Length: 300-500 words depending on collection size </output_format>
