Quotes (from this video)
- I don't think I can get rid of Catacombs and Castles.
- I have almost 100 games in my going pile.
- The total number of games, 540. 540. That's a lot.
- I've been cataloged. Uh, so I have a spreadsheet where all the boxes are numbered with the games that are in them.
- And my cool Monopoly Star Trek Collector's game that someone said I should just burn so that there's not more Monopoly in the world, but someone is going to really like this, and I don't want to deny them that.
- Let's normalize not making add-ons and deluxe bits that don't fit in the game box.
- I'm not going to play the fox experiment. I'm culling it.
- So, this one's being cold.
- This was really tough.
- The resistance. I'm not going to play it. I have some really lovely memories of playing this with my family. I have other games, social deduction games I would pick over this.
- I got roasted for this empty box, y'all.
- I always play this on Board Game Arena. I really like the way the digital interface takes care of all of the scoring and the synergies that go off in the game.
- We did it.
- This got so much easier to do once I was categorizing things actually by like how complicated I think the game is to play.
- Still a lot of games.
- I was determined to get my collection into a place where I could end this series on a positive note.
- I more than hit my goal of 100 games.
- I am not gonna be a person who has a small game collection. Not at this point in my life.
- And if I can't do that, then more games have to go.
- I don't really want to do big coolls like this anymore.
- This was deeply vulnerable and I really hope it was useful for those of you who struggle with the same thing or needed a little motivation in anything that you have that you feel like you have too much of or that is overwhelming you.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Drafting — In intermediate settings, players draft tiles and discard down to five, with the initial draft of flower tiles being crucial for strategy.
- Resource Management — Players collect resources (sun or water) to buy plant tiles from the market.
- Set Collection — Flower tiles require specific plant colors and locations to be placed, indicating a form of set collection to fulfill requirements.
- Tile Placement — Players place seedling tiles to form a base layer, then plant tiles on top of matching seedling icons, and finally flower tiles on top of matching plant requirements.
