2. To encourage discussion through your post, please include (1) enough context in the description section and (2) a question to engage other users!

HMMM wish list is probably
Mechs vs Minions, it just looks so cool
Really excited to eventually get my AltarQuest, but that is less a wish list since I already bought it.
Other wise just got a hankering for the Root digital!
how do I link this to the Weekly Challenge?

@ipaav @Hungry Gamer thanks for participating in the challenge! But instead of a comment, you will need to make a separate post and link to the Weekly Challenges topic page
Let me know if you run into additional questions!

Thank you @philryuh for your detailed reply to @Hungry Gamer! I was wondering the same thing. :)

I routinely add a boardgame to my wishlist after watching a review or otherwise coming across it and liking it. I use my wishlist kind of as a memory aid. I will refer back to my wishlist to see how I liked it, what price it was, etc. I will often use my wishlist as a filler to reach free shipping requirements, and I definitely try to promote my wishlist as a list of possible gifts whenever Christmas comes around. So far that last one hasn't worked.
How do you get your friends and family to buy you games that you want, instead of what they think that you want (i.e. not even a game)?
Right now I have a few games on my must have wishlist that have yet to make it to retail, like Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy, and I have games that are no longer easily obtainable, like StarCraft: The Board Game or Xia: Legends of a Drift System, in hopes that someone might want to trade me for one.
I think the main thing that I use my wishlist for though is to rank and queue purchases.
