¿Question #1503?
djflippy: How many of your friends and relatives buy you boardgames as gifts?

flaeryn: Two. One of my friends once got me Sushi Go, and my aunt-in-law got me some random party game I'll never open... actually I probably got them all the time as a kid, though (don't really remember).
watcher969: a couple
rampantdragon: two
Spirit of 70: Most of them.
Jatoha: zero
Woelf: Two or three.
NezziR: All of them. I have everything else.
beerbear: They have asked me not to do that. Now I have 46 copies of the Finding Nemo Memory game.
roo414: about 50%
Aleyd: Not enough...
pwilz: A few. My wife for one. A friend bought me Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot.
Felimid: In the last twenty or thirty odd years, probably none of them.
theredwagoneer: None
Polgara: some
tdyck: only two of my friends have
great_destroyer85: All of them at some point.
vandemonium: Quite a few actually.
Lori713: None.
pikkusiili2000: 2
cubntin: 5
Hector Vortac: 15 years ago my sister bought me Robo Rally for Christmas. I told her that next year she could paint the figures for me (she's good at that). Then I noticed the box was not shrink wrapped; inside were 8 mounted & fantastically painted robots. Never received a game from anyone since.
Greedo: None. Though, my brother bought me a booster pack of Magic cards once.
DHEK: None. Sadly...
Decorius: Everyone knows I am an addict. Lots of them do.

kevinwho: A fair few, though it has to be said they haven't had the best track record when it comes to picking out games I like and want to play. Though it also has to be said, I have gifted games that are highly Geek rated like Puerto Rico and Tigris & Euphrates, that are just the wrong kinds of games for my friends, and those games wind up collecting dust.
RyanMC: a few
Platinum Dragon: None, but that's a damn good idea!
Beowulf: Exactly none, to my great disappointment. I create lists, give them easy price ranges, provide suggestions for venue, and they still don't take the hint. Instead I get books that show you how to make origami figures out of dollar bills. Cool books, though.
