No Spirit Island. Gloomhaven wins almost everything it was nominated for except art, which goes to Photosynthesis. Tales from the Loop wins RPG of the year and Xanathar's Guide wins everything else.
>> How did you become a board gaming addict?
When I was in elementary school, my older brother got me a copy of Starship Troopers because he knew I'd like it even if we just used the basic rules. Our next-door neighbors at the time were a married pair of college teachers with kids my age and Mr. & Mrs. V *LOVED* board games - particularly the classic hex and chit war games.
>> What's your favorite gaming 'memory'?
Hard to say, as there have been a lot of good times. Mr. & Mrs. V would set up SPI's "War of the Ring" and then play out the entire campaign over the course of several weekends. It was a lot of fun. Hitting PAX East & South have also been excellent fun.

I've had a few pieces to Eclipse 'stolen' by one of my pets. But Asmodee customer service was awesome about replacing them free of charge. The worst disaster I've seen pics of is this one. Brand new copy of TI4...
>No Spirit Island.
Wow! GH is good, but this is pretty much 'The Hype-Train' rolls on territory. Spirit Island is a lot of fun.
>became a boardgame addict
Been a gamer most of my life, really. Started with Hasbro-tier shit, played card games and Rummikub with the family. Dungeon introduced me to AD&D and RPGs in general, which I played all highschool and most of college, and some dude in my party introduced me to Axis and Allies and Shogun (Ikusa). Then went balls deep into M:tG and GW games (Necromunda Mordheim, Bloodbowl, 40K and WHFB).
Played nothing on a regular basis for 15 years, then I bought Catan in a Target and started researching designer boardgames and got hooked.
>favorite memory
Lots of memorable things in RPGs... in boardgaming specifically, I played CitOW as Tzeentch once and manipulated the other powers so that everyone was fighting everyone else, and managed to divert all attention away from myself. When they wisened up I had already scored ruination points from a lot of regions and beat Nurgle by 5 points. That was super satisfying.
>boardgame accident
Not really an accident, but yeah... Ex-gf was super competitive but couldn't stand losing, so I'd usually play softball with her. Once while we were camping I beat her playing Rumikub and she tableflipped. She got super aggressive so I dumped the box into the bonfire and declared I'd never again play anything with her, and I never did.
> Best Pod-cast: Rahdo...
Rahdo seems like a genuinely likable person, but his pod-casts are like watching a squirrel on amphetamines. They're all over the place. I can't watch for more than a few minutes before I want to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart in hopes he'll slow down and be less scattered.
What's your favorite way to play and win Great Western Trail?
War-games style. Pic related.
shame too, because his taste is very similar to mine

Yeah, I didn't even include RPG's in my description. I started with the old D&D 'Blue Book' where you could reach a staggering 6th level! I also have some of the world's 'Most-Shit' minis from that time. The biggest offender was a company called Heritage Miniatures. (And yeah, I had a lot of MTG stuff too, but I hadn't touched it in 15+ years so I traded it in for a butt-load of in-store credit with CSI a couple years ago. And yeah I still have way to much $40K and BFG stuff sitting around.)
