How many plays of a specific game do you need to get from a solo board game purchase?
I know that replayability is an important factor for a lot of people in the hobby and I assume that your number might vary depending on the size of your collection (smaller collections probably have a higher play amount...)
But I was curious how many plays you generally WISH to get out of a game?
Personally, I'm at least happy at five plays on a purchase and generally speaking it means I think a game is at least decent if I get that many plays. But I think that might also be because I have a larger collection.
A great game will hit the table more and my best games generally have a mix of solo play and plays with other humans... but I am also not opposed to games with a fixed amount of plays (like campaign games or games with a meta-style progression that has a natural stopping point). These can help me move on or even sell a game once I've played through it.
I'm also pretty quick to dislike a game once I know I dislike it. I'll try it twice but usually not more if I feel like I don't like it that much.
