I'm bummed that I didn't find a way to write one up about 2009, but this year is a transition year for me. I made a geeklist of games I played at WBC in 2008. Have a great Holidays, a Merry Christmas and a great new year full of good games, good die rolls and lots of fun! The entire list is full of games I should've played by now - but those four stand out. The games I'm looking forward to the most as of right now are Princes of Florence, Havana, Tulipmania, and Louis XIV. The list is around 21 right now - here is the geeklist where I'll keep track. So my goal for 2010 is to play and rate all of my unplayed and unrated games. I'll try my darndest to play as often as possible, but in the Fall semester I will be student teaching and I know a lot of my time will be spent writing lesson plans and prepping for that. So, he hung in there pretty well.įor 2010 there will not be a similar goal of hitting a game a month. Granted, dad was just getting the hang of the game back - the last time he played was in June according to my BGG play list. I was able to end the game by building a 1-7 resource hut worth 41 points. It was actually closer than the final score indicated. This is a screen shot of game #32 for the month of December - Stone Age on I consider online gaming log-able because even though the game isn't live and in person, it's still a game and the online portals I play at do maintain the consistency of the table version - and many times it's so much easier to calculate scores - and let's not forget how great clean-up is! Being able to sneak a few turns in over lunch and finishing games throughout the week bring the number way up. If I were to only log the face to face games, I would be around 60-70 or so, mainly on the weekends. Is online gaming, gaming? I log all my online plays because I like to keep track of the games I've played.

Stone Age is another favorite, so I'm glad that was the game that finished my gaming resolution for 2009. I made sure that he was playing when I hit game #1,000 logged and that game was Cuba. It's a different experience playing against my dad online than it is face to face, mainly because we're usually on the phone - but since I play online so much without the social aspect of gaming, playing with my dad is always more fun. I am happy to say that these games were Stone Age and they were against my dad online. My goal for the year of logging a game a day for every month has been fulfilled. Today I hit logged game number 31 and 32 on BGG.
