Strategy board game people have made a distinction that matters to them: there are games, and then there are games. They appreciate that a game can be a designed system, a problem to optimize, a thing you can get better at through understanding. They have a collection and they have opinions about which games in the collection are underappreciated. They will teach a game to anyone willing to learn and their teaching is thorough. They have a favorite mechanic — resource management, worker placement, area control, deck-building — and they have a favorite designer whose new releases they follow. They understand that losing at a well-designed game is more interesting than winning a poorly designed one, and this is a philosophy they apply consistently. The gift for them is something that adds to the collection, deepens the experience, or supports the person who is genuinely invested in this as a serious hobby.
