Recipe No. 39

Method

  1. Ask the agent to list every game you own across stores and receipts, so you stop rebuying.

  2. Give it the house rule and ask it to check candidate games for local co-op, not just online play.

  3. Have it flag games that need extra hardware and what that adds to the price.

  4. Save the shortlist as a wishlist and set a reminder before birthdays or the holidays.
