Let's say that this is my collection. Without knowing exactly what I like, (or which two I haven't even played yet) recommend that I get rid of two of them. Bonus points if you tell me why.

Easy. The only game on this list I haver never owned is Buffy. Out of this list, I still own 12 of them. The only one I regret parting with is Magical Athelete.

Ethnos is an excellent Eurogame.

Champions of Midgard with the expansions complete the game and it’s never leaving my shelf.

Small World
I haven't played all of the games on your list, but I have played these two. LNoE is just not very good. The ONLY reason I still have mine is that it is the first game I ever fully painted so it has some sentimental value.
Small World... I only played it once or twice but I distinctly recall hating it. Boring euro-trash.
If you end up getting rid of Champions of Midgard, PM me. I have always wanted to try that one.

Damn, I thought I was being clever.

Spartacus: Totally overrated game. Its kludgy/ bad design has aged about as well as Disco. I sold mine to another person at this site and I've never regretted it for a moment. I'm glad this game put GF9 on the map, but its time has come and gone.
Small World: Once you realize the actual game mostly boils down to snatching up the right race combo + declining at the right time it really loses most of its luster. Plus, it commits the most basic boardgaming crime....it's sorta boring. You own the superior Ethnos. Feel free to take Small World out onto a lake and kick it overboard. Bonus points if you let loose a witty one liner as you perform the deed.

I like browsing the Recommend Me a Game threads but they usually just make me covet a new game with someone else's enthusiasm.. I thought that this might be an interesting thread (if only for me) and give me food for thought. Thanks for all the responses so far.

I missed you having this. Yeah, dump that. I’ve always been completely underwhelmed by it. It’s a halfway decent at best negotiation/bidding/backstabbing game with an utterly terrible combat game making up the other half. Whatever I like about the game is overshadowed by how truly awful the rest of it is.
The X-Men version is, for the most part, much, much better. The combats are missions with variable goals and they typically involve more than 2 players, so everyone isn’t stuck there watching 2 people slog through this inane, dull poorly designed combat thing. Throw in a house rule where you start with 1 or 2 VPs to speed things up and make the early bids more meaningful and it’s a really good time.
