I just feel sad about it. I’ve been buying most of my games from the same shop for years, the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. A couple weeks ago they suddenly announced they’re closing.

It sucks to lose your regular spot for your hobbies.
I lived in a big city for 10+ years and it was so convenient to have multiple board game shops. I always preferred to go there in person, have a look, touch the box, etc. Bought multiple games based on box art and first impressions, which I would never even consider online.
Since we moved to the countryside (which we prefer) one of the downsides is that I have to plan a whole trip around board game shopping, as I must drive 1+ hour to visit the closest half decent shop. These days I do my BG shopping 99% online :(
Its a shame.
