I hope you like the new image for these posts. Don’t worry that’s the only change. I’m not going to start changing the current no thrills, just the data format.

No onto the data.

July 2022 Gaming Stats

I know a couple of days late.

But still better late than never.

Besides I have a great excuse.

No really I do.

I’ve been working, and I’m really tired!

Oh on the life front some brief news before giving you those delicious stats to pour over.

I was offered and accepted the job at the other store. The higher ups just need to workout between them when I can transfer over. As you might guess I’m rather happy about this.

Now on with the show.

Now for the stats.

June 2022 Gaming Stats

Hasn’t the month gone fast? A little too fast.

Spoiler alert, but this months gaming stats are a little disappointing. Not a great number of games played.

Hopefully July will be better.

Flashback to April 2016

It’s getting close to the end of the month and time once again to look back to days of old and see what I was playing way back when.

My Top 9 Played Games In April 2016

So it looks like we were still working our way through the Pandemic Legacy Season 1 campaign.

I’ve not played any Fluxx game in years. They are fun. Might have to dig one out and get it to the table. Mustn’t forget the house rule that if the game hasn’t ended within 30 mins to stop playing. Else it will go on forever.

I miss Android Netrunner. It is a great game, just oozing theme. Shame it joined that long list of dead games (yes I know fans are doing new stuff for it).

Not sure when I last played a physical copy of Star Realms. All my game play is with the digital version. But that won’t stop me backing this years Kickstarter for it!

Ok here are the months gaming stats.

Stats Insights For April 2016

Here’s that complete list of everything I played in April 2016.

See you in next months flashback.

Flashback to March 2016

I had this idea this morning as I drifted in and out of sleep to do a series of posts that look back at yesteryear and the games I was playing that month.

Obviously there is only so far I can go back as I have only been recording game plays in the bgstat app since December 2015.

I thought I’d start the flashbacks with that first full year of data that I have, which is 2016.

I’m not going to do news headlines for the month. But the mess that is Batman v Superman hit the cinemas in March 2016. As did the dire sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen (which I took Nathan to see).

So what were my top 9 games that I played back in March 2016?

My Top 9 Played Games In March 2016

Only Android Netrunner from those 9 is no longer in my collection. I still have very fond memories of playing the game. In fact I still use it as a measuring stick that I judge similar games by. I still rate the game very highly. Still love the Android universe.

Obviously I play a lot of Star Realms and Epic the Card Game but digitally. I just don’t get the opportunity to play either as physical games. It might even seem a little odd if I did!

Batman Love Letter still gets to the table. Still a great version and my favourite Love Letter.

Five Tribes, 7 Wonders, and Discoveries need a bit of gaming love with a return to the table. Maybe that could be a new challenge at some point, games that haven’t been played in over a certain number of years.

Let’s look at the stats summary for the month.
