What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

But you don't understand, I totally need that 30$ Oceania expansion for my Wingspan that I will play maybe twice a year

Oooh right - I totally forgot about that expansion! I should finally unbox it and prepare it to be played just in case....

My board game group usually buys games more often than we have time to meet and play, so it just comes with this hobby I guess. A friend told me all the time about the stack of three games he had bought and never played and that we still need to play them and then informed me today, that he has just bought Council of Shadows...

The stack of shame of never-played games is real... Everyone ends up defaulting to the same selection of tried and true games of the group because nobody wants to learn a new thing when you can just get to playing immediately, it's very unfortunate

European expansion is worth it! I like the round end goals!

I swear I've tried to enjoy the European expansion but some of the birds require you to pull some Hannibal Barca 4d chess shit to use them properly
