Your friends have games you like to play.
When do you folks buy your own copy? When are you content to just request or borrow it from time to time?

If I want to play it with a different group, one the people who have it are not part of, then I consider buying it.
I’ve also bought some games that I just had to have because they were just that awesome. And then never played, because other people already have a copy, and sometimes they have more content or whatever. Terraforming Mars, for example, I ended up only playing it a handful of times solo, and then the app came out, and I haven’t opened my copy since. I try to avoid doing this now, because it really doesn’t work out that well.
Although I am considering buying Brass: Birmingham so I can decide when I want it to be available in a meetup. Also Spirit Island, but that’s because I think I can get my kids to play with me.
Funny you should mention TFM. That’s exactly one of those I’m considering duplicating but both groups I play with already have it…
Spirit Island I used to own but it turned out it’s a bit too heavy and long for my GF so it never got played both my groups had another copy and one of them started getting all the expansions. So ultimately I sold it (to another person in that same group ;-) )
That sounds like an ideal outcome, since you still get to play it.
Hehe. Among my gaming friends, more than 50% own a copy of Spirit Island. Yes, my SI needs are covered :-)
