Boardgamer in Brooklyn. I also build apps, tend to the many and varied needs of to two cats, poke at things to figure out how they go (not the cats, I appreciate some mystique).

Inspired by @marinou here is our 2022 BGStats play count heat map. Our goal was to play at least one game a day. Every. Day. A year has a lot of days in it. 😛 We’re more aware of this now. We made it and played some really incredible games.

Tracking data like this is super pleasing. Our h-index for the year was 10. All time it’s just 18, but we tend to favor playing more new games.

We snuck in a play of Lacrimosa this afternoon. I’d heard good things, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Smooth mechanics, fun choices in selecting two cards to play in different ways each turn. Pretty quick and also pretty. Sweet theme that seems thought through lovingly.
We climbed this mountain! It took much of the day to learn and play Vital Lacerda’s latest big box Weather Machine for the first time. It’s beautiful (of course), insanely interconnected, torqued to a nearly uncomfortable tightness, and satisfyingly humbling. The long weekend in the US next week should see it weighing down our table again at least once.
We first played Beer and Bread this afternoon. It’s nice to see clever two player only games. Jennifer referred to it as a Tiny Epic Uwe which captured a lot about the game. Quick, tense, a bit chaotic (the fun kind). Likely to get a lot of play.
