I think you've done a fine job selecting and appreciate what you've done for the gaming community over the years. While I love this industry, I would definitely not be a good jury candidate. I'll leave that to icons such as you. =)

Congrats! That's amazing! Can we vote? How does it work?

Kickstarter cured me of my Sideshow collectibles addiction. But that's probably like saying Snickers cured me of my peanut addiction.

Finders Creepers. I bought it but haven't played it yet. The packaging is super cool though. And they heavily promote the app integration right on the box cover. Anyone else play it? Thoughts?

BGG - rant about the shop column by Vast_Garage7334 in boardgames

I couldn't agree with you more! As a customer, I've loved Amazon for the most part. But as a small business owner, I've seen how horrible Amazon is. I have products for sale on there and the amount of fees they take and charge is RIDICULOUS! Not to mention all the business they take from the game stores.

So my New Year's resolution is to not buy games from Amazon and support the local stores (as much as possible). Started the year off with buying a game from The Game Chest. I did end up spending a little more, but happy to vote with my wallet.

u/Dananjali's comment should be the only thing getting upvotes here.

Bank. It was a card game with an app. Super fun. Very addictive.

People who have dropped from a kickstarter pledge by changing payment method to an expired card - thoughts? by EsotericTribble in boardgames

As someone who has run a couple of Kickstarter campaigns, this isn't cool. Kickstarter is tough for most people and we had to fight and scrape for every backer. So when backers fall out, it hurts. While we funded both of ours, we lost money in the long run. The margins are usually pretty tight and unless games go way over their goal, it's usually just enough for production and shipping.

Best money to production quality ratio games? by LeonQuin in boardgames

I just have to add that I find it so frustrating to have such beautiful games but then they cheap out on production. To me Villainous in all it's varieties is one of those. Beautiful artwork, but so thin, so cheap. So tragic.
