Well, I feel a sense of victory - despite wanting to, I haven't back this game! (The BGG Link is here).
After JW's bold and shocking move back in September, I'd stated I would reassess my involvement in the hobby. I'm not at all ready to bail entirely, but the fact I could easily resist this backing shows me I can resist every Solo game that appears. 😄 Prior to September, I would've backed this game with little hesitation. I have several other Salt & Pepper Games I like, such as Resist! and Witchcraft!, so this had a little promise just on that basis, in addition to being Solo Only, not too complicated, and it didn't have a giant box (~8in x 8in x 2in/20cm x 20cm x 5cm). Attaining this small goal (resisting a game that's right up my alley) does give me hope in achieving my larger goal of significantly reducing my game purchases going forward. I've been buying them faster than I'm playin' em for far too long, so it seems I'm finally coming to my senses. 🤡 I'll still back a Solo Only game now and then, but if I really feel compelled to buy something "board game", I'm gonna try and focus on an Expansion or upgraded components for a game I already own. Hey, I like bling now and then. 👑 Maybe some upgraded stuff for Fantastic Factories, instead of a new game.
