Title: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Bixby on January 03, 2011, 10:13:29 pm FOr anyone who is an avid board game player.
Here is a recap of what I played in 2010. Every year I like to reflect on the previous year of gaming to see if I still get as much enjoyment and value out of the hobby. I am also curious to trends and such. My goal every year is to log at least 365 plays (1 a day average). Turns out: I logged 421 Plays of 143 different games in 2010.

Quite a number of them were on my really want to try list. ...Bixby's Formula De League Season II is done and we are well into Season III ...We are part way through 1st year of Wings of War League ...We are setting up a Twilight Struggle League in Regina. ...The www.saskgames.com website is growing steadily and becoming a vital tool to help gamers connect in the Province of Saskatchewan. Lots of public and private gatherings. I feel incredibly lucky that my lovely wife enjoys games and we have a wonderful circle of friends that enjoy games as well. "Life is short; play games." Happy new year to all of you. May 2011 be filled with the joy of play and the opportunity to share that with those you hold dear. Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: loganmann1 on January 04, 2011, 10:20:05 am I have only ever played 17 of your 143 games you tried last year (though there are many on that list I want to try and many others I play that I don't see here). That would be some interesting numbers to keep track of this new year.
Thanks for sharing Bixby. Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: MrBlu on January 04, 2011, 02:47:34 pm Guess I'm weak...lol...
Before Gen-Con, we played Munchkin and Munchkin Quest and had the first Dominion. I picked up all the other Dominion sets throughout the spring. Grabbed Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice too. Did play a couple of Battletech rounds too. At Gen-Con, I knabbed Carcassonne and I haven't looked back; have all the sets now. So, I'm kicking it at a whopping seven games...ahahahahaha.... I will say that I try to limit my purchases to games that two people can play by themselves because we often have scheduling conflicts and there is only two of us. We all enjoy two player games of Dominion and Carc. Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: CKorfmann on January 05, 2011, 10:51:44 pm Wow, I wish we were neighbors Bixby. :)
Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Whaleyland on January 06, 2011, 01:26:08 am I decided to start a list for 2011 recording plays and game names. Also, I plan to note the use of expansions when applicable (Small World, for example, I won't note if I play using Cursed! or The Grand Dames since they are fully-integratable expansions).
Christmas and this time of year, however, has been a score-fest. I got Small World on Black Friday, scored Small World: Necromancer a week later and nabbed Cursed! and The Grand Dames this afternoon. I gave my girlfriend the Alhambra Big Box for Christmas and we have yet to try even one of the five (x4) expansions in the set. I also got her Zooloretto for our anniversary coming up in a few weeks. Add to that Agricola: The Goodies Expansion, The Gamers' Deck and The Legen*dairy Forest Deck that came in the mail last week, none of which I have had a chance to play (or my girlfriend knows about). I picked up Carcassonne: Bridges, Castles & Bazaars, Crop Circles, and the Plague over the past five months and all have seen a few plays. Finally, I should be getting in the next few weeks a lot from a friend in Germany who hooked me up with Catan Geographies: Bavaria, Austria, and Delmarva and Catan: The Chocolate Market (Schokoladenmarkt). Ah, 'tis the season to be gaming! Goals for 2011: Get any and all new Carcassonne expansions released in 2011, get Aquaretto if Zooloretto proves to be fun enough to expand/spin-off, get Catan: Schätze, Drachen & Entdecker and Saggsen Gaden, get The Rivals for Catan, get any and all Agricola expansions released in 2011, get Smallworld: Be Not Afraid... and Tales & Legends (as well as any new expansions released in 2011), and get Dominion: Prosperity (and any 2011 expansion released). Anything I'm missing? Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Tobias on January 10, 2011, 10:55:42 am My list would be too long, so here are the games I played ten times or more 2010, expansions exluded:
53 Hive 50 Dominion 40 Liar's Dice 34 Loopin' Louie 29 Space Beans 22 Tsuro 20 YINSH 10 Win, Lose, or Banana 18 Ein Arsch kommt selten allein 18 PitchCar Mini 18 Taluva 17 Space Alert 17 TZAAR 16 Khet: The Laser Game 16 Ricochet Robots 15 Hula Hippos 15 Saboteur 13 Elk Fest 12 Arkham Horror 12 Kahuna 11 Falling 11 Metro 11 PitchCar 11 Trötofant 10 Ca$h 'n Gun$ 10 Dixit 10 GIPF 10 No Thanks! 10 Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries 10 10 ZÈRTZ 1491 games played 2010, expansions included. :) Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Whaleyland on January 10, 2011, 11:52:10 am lol. For being a founding member and moderator of Carcassonne Central, Tobias, you'd think you'd play Carcassonne more than 10 times in a year.

For being a founding member and moderator of Carcassonne Central, Tobias, you'd think you'd play Carcassonne more than 10 times in a year. All the Expansions sort of killed it for us. But here is the statistics anyway: 6 Carcassonne 5 The Kids of Carcassonne 2 The Ark of the Covenant 2 Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers 2 Carcassonne: The Castle 2 Carcassonne: The City 1 Carcassonne: The Discovery 1 New World: A Carcassonne Game All in all 21 games of Carcassonne. :) Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Whaleyland on January 10, 2011, 06:28:46 pm Much better. How many Wheel of Fortune plays?
Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Tobias on January 11, 2011, 03:20:51 pm Much better. How many Wheel of Fortune plays? None; I have not bought it yet. Not sure I will. It makes me rather irate that they make these kinds of releases (the crop circles are another example) where they add new stuff to old stuff in a package. It is like spitting their fans in the face. Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: KathleenWard on March 07, 2011, 01:35:20 am List is long but most time i play this game:-
Monster Hunter Tri StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Dead Rising 2 Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Title: Re: Games I Played in 2010 Post by: Lan Harjochee on March 17, 2011, 02:03:25 am Guess I'm weak...lol...
