Plan a Board Game Collection That Actually Gets Played

The shelf has games that looked great to buy and rarely get played. This plans a collection for the group as it actually is: who shows up, how long sessions run, what the group tends to enjoy, and which types of game are genuinely missing. Includes six specific recommendations and a direct warning about the game types most commonly bought and left in shrink wrap.

**Plan** a board game collection for the circumstances described.
1. Define the play circumstances: who plays, how often, how long sessions typically run, and what the group generally enjoys
2. Identify the collection gaps: which types of game (quick gateway games, medium-weight strategy, party, two-player, family) are needed for this group
3. Recommend [6] specific games: for each, give the game name, why it suits this group, and the one situation it is best for
4. Warn against: one or two game types or specific titles that are frequently bought by groups like this and frequently left unplayed
