Welcome to The Tabletop Minimalist ! In our very first episode, Jamie and Ricky introduce themselves and explore the philosophy of board game minimalism. What does it mean to have a small, carefully curated collection? How can minimalism help you enjoy your games more while avoiding the overwhelm of an ever-growing backlog and the constant wave of new releases? We break down common misconceptions about minimalism, define what it means in the context of board gaming, and discuss Jamie’s Geeklist - a practical framework for curating a minimalist collection. Finally, in our Wildcard Segment , we challenge ourselves by revealing our guilty pleasures - games we love that don’t fit our minimalist philosophy. Got a question for us to answer on the show?
