David Przybyla owns about 2,000 board games, and aims to get a Guinness World Record for his massive collection. The Utah Valley University professor started collecting board games in 2008. He was introduced by a coworker to playing Carcassonne, a tile building board game. After playing his first board game Przybyla was hooked and started collecting more board games, as UPI detailed:
Przybyla said his collection now includes about 2,000 games, but he has only actually played about 2 percent of his collection.
"So very little have actually been played," he said. "A lot of them are unopened. A lot of them are just -- I really want to play them someday, but I also have that kind of FOMO, I guess, that if I don't buy it now, I'll never be able to find it again because that's happened.
"We've got a long ways to go to play them all, but we do what we can," he said.
Przybyla said he is looking into getting a Guinness World Record for his collection. The current record of 1,531 different games was set by Jeff Bauspies of Illinois. Przybyla said he owns about 2,000 games, but some are doubles of games he already had, so the number of unique games in his collection is probably closer to 1,500.
