For the first time since 2021, I accomplished my play-365-games-in-a-year challenge! Co-op campaign games drove this goal, supplemented by my #WBC2024 tournament successes in Outer Rim, Innovation, and Can't Stop.

Next year, I hope to get more competitive games to the table, and to revive my boardgame review blog ToPlayOrNotToPlay.net. Graduating from my masters program should help free up some time for that! #bgstats #bgstatsapp #bgstatschallenges #boardgames

And that's it! #solotober2023 is done! Considering I didn't even know it existed on Oct 1, I feel pretty good about completing it. The period around my birthday and #GameHoleCon are going to be a struggle every year, but I'm fine with making sure I have the numbers even if I don't play every day.

Next year, I'd like to focus more on playing my heavier games on more days. There's a lot of lighter fare on this last (some from travel, some from time or energy), and I'd rather sink time into meatier games when I have the time and energy than "cheap out" with a bunch of e.g. Button Shy games. Maybe I'll consolidate those smaller ones into aggregated play sessions so I still get them to the table, but still hold myself accountable to play more stuff in general.

Altogether, I'd say this whole thing was great. It got me playing more solo games, clearing out some of my unplayed list, and thinking about what I like about solo games on the whole. It also got me buying more games which probably isn't great, but I enjoyed them! 😂

For the next month, I think I'll be focusing on two-player games. I won't be committed to playing 30 in November necessarily, but I'll do my best for sure! Off the top of my head, I'm looking forward to General Orders: World War II, Sea Salt & Paper, Sky Team, Air, Land, and Sea, Radlands, Watergate, and 7 Wonders Duel. And that's just the two-player specific stuff I can think of! There's plenty more. I already can't wait 🤩

We're halfway through the year and these are my #bgstats right now. Started off strong in January, February and March, but lost track when the weather got better and we started playing #DnD again instead of boardgames on Wednesdays.
I'm missing some letters in the alphabet challenge, so I'm not sure if I get to fulfill that one.

My #bgstats statistics for last month. 64 plays and 27 different games. Mostly lightweight games, but some heavier games like TM:AE too.
Made progress with my challenges.
I expect to play less frequently from now on, because spring is on its way and I'll soon be busy working in my vegetable garden.

Set myself some challenges in @BGStatsApp, I don’t think I’m going to get through my unplayed this year, but I’m going to give it a good try.

Have you set yourself any challenges this year?
