I have to be careful when it comes to buying just to read the fluff. At one point I was buying books from three or four RPGs and some of the GW tuff just to read and I was not playing those games. 
I had to stop myself. 
Now I try very hard to only buy for games I play.

Hi!
The game is set in PR and the goal is to grow crops and trade them when the boat comes in while building better structures on your land and keeping your little people employed.

Interesting, did this game win a nomination for best board game? I remember seeing that somewhere. Strange that a German company would know where PR is or even place a game on it, wierd.

Been there, done that. At one time I owned most miniature game books available, it was horrible. I was the king of the impulse buy. I made a lot of people happy when I unloaded the stuff cheap (then again I bought it at a retail discount), I have since assumed your philosophy, only buy things I actually PLAY.
It goes easy on the pocketbook.

Primarch,
At one time, I wanted to play a lot of games, but now I only want to play ones that:
- I really like!
OR
- That I can use to expand the use of my miniature collection.
Practically, that means that I only buy minaitures rules for 6mm pieces and the occasional board game. I avoid collectable card games and Whiz Kidz Clikky Games like the plague and think of them as money pits.
However, since we're at Gameholics Anonymous, I must have 15+ sets of rules for either 6mm Modern Microarmour or 6mm Sci-fi.
I may have a problem, but I have no regrets... ?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak... err... Anonymous!

Other then the small walk on the CCG side  , I agree, I have little regret for most of what I have bought.
