Before You Ask tee features a humorous FAQ in warm typewriter font, addressing the most common questions board game collectors hear.
The story behind this design
This design anticipates and playfully answers the questions every serious hobbyist faces repeatedly. The front opens with 'Before You Ask:' in large, bold text, followed by six numbered statements in a warm, retro typewriter font rendered in peachy-tan tones. Each line tackles a real concern—the volume of the collection, how they differ from mainstream games, the genuine need to own them all, the unplayed titles, the money spent, and a final reassurance that there's no problem here. The humor is self-aware and relatable, turning defensive questions into endearing admissions. The monochromatic palette keeps it refined despite the tongue-in-cheek content.
Who it's for
Perfect for collectors who've heard every concern from friends and family, or those about to join the hobby and want to embrace it with humor. Great as a gift for someone with shelves full of unopened boxes, a gag present for a new enthusiast, or a conversation starter at game nights. Anyone who wants to wear their unapologetic passion with a wink will connect with this shirt.
