The others may catch my eye but gameplay is ultimately what seals the deal.

I think it is! I'm probably not the best person to be answering because I'm a game designer so naturally I'd be biased towards gameplay.

I think it's natural to be "biased" towards gameplay in games just like it's natural to be biased towards food with good taste!

Me too but there's plenty of cases where people buy games just because they're pretty, have minis or have a theme/IP they like, without plans of ever playing it. If the game is good, that's a bonus.

It's true, sadly. I would say it's unnatural, though! Like those restaurants where you can eat gold.

In Portugal we say they are "eating with their eyes".

We say the same thing in Spain and it's very appropiate. Often we like the idea of a game more than its reality. Learned that the hard way when collecting video games.

This is probably where you get a lot of people investing in something because it "looks like fun" It might also explain the tendency towards mini heavy games on KS, since there's often no gameplay to assess ahead of time, so at least if it's crap you get some nice models.

I think it's easier to imagine yourself having all sorts of fun than it is to make that fun a reality. Nobody buys games with the idea they'll gather dust on the shelf, even if it's a likely occurrence.

About the minis, some people buy them with other games in mind. In early Kickstarter there were campaigns for mini packs only, no games attached. They were big hits!

True, plus people just enjoy them for painting or as display pieces.
