Description
In Bagged & Boarded, you're a kid who loves comics. You can't merely focus on collecting your favorite issues, though. You also need to make enough money to afford them!
By savvy investment of your time, allowance, and chores money, you'll amass an impressive collection in no time! But wait—then what? Do you sell your expensive issues to buy others? Or do you put them on display, banking points for the end of the game while also increasing that series's value for everyone else?
Each morning, you'll plan your day, then resolve everyone's plans in order. Will you search online? Preorder from the comic store or dig through the bargain bin? Wait in line at the convention for autographs and swag? Or, maybe you'll spend your time at home doing chores, bagging and boarding old issues, and putting them on display.
Collecting and displaying a large series is worth a lot, but keep an eye on your clever friends. They might be hanging on to that issue you're looking for, eagerly waiting for you to drive up its value!

Quotes (from this video)
- You and your friends play kids collecting comic books to read, to preserve, and to display.
- At the end of the game, whichever kid has the most valuable collection wins! … because it ain’t a real hobby until capitalism sucks out its soul.
- This is a set collection game, and this area is where you show off your sets.
- So if you sell a bunch of issues, you could just conveyor belt comics straight into the Bargain Bin as your opponents look on in agony.
- Whoever winds up as the richest kid, wins! As in life, so in board games.
