I would say playing, too, though I find it much easier to make time to collect than play
I totally understand that. Online shopping has become an incredibly easy 1-2 click experience, and there are still plenty of reasonably priced packs out there. (though mostly at HWG at this point) Setup time can be a killer for this game, and I’m worried that it limits the game’s potential. I go a little overboard sometimes with the blue ocean fabric and the custom islands/terrain, but getting ready for a game AND the cleanup afterwards can take as long or longer than the game itself, especially with newer players or people who need to build their ships to play.
I’d have to say playing for me. I have a sizeable collection already and I don’t really want any more ships since I’ve gotten most of the ones I consider useful. At this point I’d rather let my friends borrow from my collection so we can all play than get more ships haha.
Love this answer. 😀
