Board games

• LittleWit on Rav: I was wondering how you decide which board games to buy and bring home after playing them at board game cafes. A friend and I have started scheduling board game cafe dates and we’ve found some pretty great games. I worry a bit about the financial realities of buying everything I enjoyed (lol) and what those more experienced in the ways of board game cafes have found to work well for them. :) Any hints on how to determine how much the family will enjoy replaying a game? Or figuring out when a game would play really well solo?
