Your friends have games you like to play.

When do you folks buy your own copy? When are you content to just request or borrow it from time to time?

I think one thing that is important to keep in mind on the topic of "when do I break this rule vs borrow" is that I think it matters how much notice you're willing to engage in. Speaking at a purely personal level, if I want to borrow Power Grid, it would be with a couple days notice and I'd either bus over or meet them somewhere for a hand off. Generally, once I want to borrow something, I'm willing to make some effort for it vs just hoping they bring it to a meetup. If I was driving 45min to get to a gaming location though, I'd rethink all of this...
