Unpopular opinion: I think we need a better term than 'board game geek'
I was at a game night in Portland last month and someone introduced me as a 'geek' to their friend, and it just felt weird. It made the hobby sound niche in a way that doesn't fit anymore. What's a better, more welcoming label we could use?

Did the word "geek" bother you because it felt like a label, or was it more about how the other person said it?

That label does feel pretty dated now that games are everywhere. What part of the "geek" term bothered you the most, was it the niche feel or something else about the word?
