Expertise
I can answer most questions about tabletop and commercial card games. I am NOT a good source for wargame or eurogames information. My favorite questions are what game is this? Where can I find this game or game rules?
Experience
I have been board game collector/seller since 1993. I am also one of the top ten sources for games and related materials on the internet.
