We’re back with another round of Collection Curation as we continue replaying the games on our shelves to decide what truly deserves a place in our collection.
In this episode, Drew and I revisit five very different board games and talk through what held up, what surprised us, and whether these games still fit the kind of collection we want to build.
This series is all about slowing down, replaying the games we already own, and making intentional decisions through real table time instead of hype or first impressions.
🎲 Games discussed in this video:
Sunrise Lane
Darwin’s Journey
Distilled
Earth
Beast
Some of these games reminded us why we loved them in the first place, and others left us with tougher decisions than we expected.

📚 What is Collection Curation?
This is our ongoing series where we work shelf by shelf through our board game collection, replaying games and deciding what truly earns its place on our shelves.
If you enjoy thoughtful board game discussions, collection management, honest long-term impressions after multiple plays, and a release from board game guilt, we’d love to have you here.
