Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Where I went wrong: 2016 10x10 Quest to Kill the Cult
It wasn't a total loss. Putting a few unplayed euros on my list let me play those games enough to be confident that I'd be happy to trade them away. Off goes Suburbia and Kingdom Builder. Good-bye Agricola, I'm happier with just Caverna.
I *still* bought a bunch of games this year, all unplayed, waiting for that mythical free weekend. I think I might need to swear an oath for that in 2017.

Blood Bowl -wrapped up a league, played in three tournaments, painted two teams, and have designed the kits for my four upcoming crowdsourced teams
DreadBall - played in a tournament, ran a league, painted three teams/free agents/mvps, playtesting DB2 over the next few weekends
Dark Future - reading the novels, designed scenarios...this is my big 2017 hobby project
Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower - painting it right now, playing in December when my buddy gets back from Afghanistan
Heroscape - ran a kid tourney, played lots with my son, kids played with the terrain and figs all year
Space Hulk: Death Angel - played about 5 solo, 2 with buddies, 3-4 with my son, twice with son and friends at sleep over
Condotierre - thrown down at 3 new bars this year, but played countless times at old favorites
Citadels - Got my wife and son in on it, about 5-6 plays
Settlers of Catan/ Ticket to Ride/Zooloretto/Dixit - about twice a month at least, still family favorites
Lost Cities/Battleline - too many times to count with the wife
Pokemon - countless times with son, took him to 3 tourneys, about 6 league days and two release parties
Pokemon Master Trainer - about 12 plays with the kids
That's the lot!

I can’t believe I thought I could get Game of Thrones to the table ten times this year. It’s one of my favorite games, but I no longer have enough players for it- meaning that I now wind up playing in less than ideal circumstances. My last game was pretty ridiculous. A friend invited me to play it with his group. I sat next to a very aggressive Greyjoy player (with questionable hygiene) who talked more shit than anyone I have EVER played with despite having only two games under his belt (both Greyjoy wins apparently). He asked how many times I had played. “Probably about 70” I replied. In the end, I left him in permanent timeout on Pyke. That prick wasn’t worth the card, and I was Stark, so that’s saying something.

This inspires me to try adding Bloodbowl to my 10 x 10 next year. I should force Scott_F to play. It's much more fun when your same team is being dismembered week after week

I'm still trucking along with about thirty games, 10 of which are likely to go on the chopping block soon since they haven't proven to be evergreen. Good games, but not quite there.
I just don't see the point of large collections any more. Their existence seems to be attributed more to FOMO more than anything else I can think of. Which is a step towards hoarding I'd like to avoid.

I see that from some players. I think in some groups there are one or two who frequently host games and others who play. About half of the people I play with have fewer than 30 games, but those that host need to have games for different player counts and temperaments. If anything, I would think everyone owning a game is a good reason not to buy it. Or, maybe, that's what I keep telling myself so I don't pick up a copy of Blood Rage.

My attitude is; "These are the games I have that I enjoy, if you want something different than bring it yourself. Maybe you can sway me."
Gone are the days of owning certain games on contingency to match a certain style. 300+ game collection culled with a savagely brutal ruthlessness.

My main game group is only 4-6 people and we rotate through who gets the choice of games for each night. That way everyone gets to occasionally play that game that only they enjoy.Mr. White wrote: Yep. Not only that, but I've found that friends appreciate being asked to bring their games. It's a win-win. I get to play it without storing it...they get their game played.

The only "new" games I have I gave to the group's members and The Others, which I got from Barnes for the miniatures to use with an old game.
I think it's been a smashing success for me, personally.
