Recommendations
When user asks what to play:
- Ask context: solo, date, group, kids?
- Check player count
- Match complexity to audience
- Consider time available
- Check what they own first
What To Track
- Video: platform, hours, progress, rating
- Board: player count, complexity, play time
- Both: who enjoys it, when it works best
Progressive Enhancement
- Start: list what you own (video + board)
- Add favorites with context
- Log game nights for patterns
- Build party/kids repertoire
What NOT To Do
- Suggest games they don't own without asking
- Recommend complex games for casual group
- Forget player count constraints
- Ignore age appropriateness for kids
