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.
The Top 9 Games I Played in July
Now for the stats.
Bgstats for July 2022
Finally the progress I’ve made on one or two of the challenges.
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.
Ok I know I usually do these posts at the start of a new month. But I have no gaming planned until Saturday. So I thought I’d get a head start and bore you with the stats for March now.
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.
Stats Insights For March 2016
For those with even less of a life than me, and wish to see the complete list of games I played that month. Here you go.
Complete list of games played in March 2016
That was a cool little exercise. Let’s do it again real soon.
In my previous blog post I waffled on about the game challenges I’d set up in the bgstat app I use, and how I fell just short of achieving the Play 15 New Games to Me challenge.
You may have also noticed in that post and later on in this one the 3×3 or 4×4 image grid of game covers. I used to produce these using an app called Diptic and having to do a Google image search to find each relevant game box image. But now the bgstat generates these for me with out all that extra effort! What a great new (well to me, not sure when it was added) feature.
2021 has been an interesting year to say the least gaming wise. It wasn’t until the later half of the year before world events allowed in person gaming to become a thing again. I have to say I missed playing with others a lot. So it was really great to be doing that again.
Fenland Gamers has grown in size! By that I mean those that attend gaming sessions on a regular basis. This has been amazing, and the new members have been really great to game with. Because of this success we ended the year saying good bye to our hosts The Luxe.
We still live in uncertain times. Who knows what 2022 has in store for us. Hopefully despite what it decides to throw at us we can continue to meet up, play games, and share good times.
As with more recent stat posts I’m not going to attempt to analyse the data. I’m going to just put the data out there and let it speak for itself.
But first for those that aren’t interested in anything other than my top 9 played games of 2021, here is a snazzy 3×3 image grid of those games.
My Top 9 Most Played Games of 2021
And now for those that want more details here are the stats for my gaming in 2021. The only thing you have to ignore from these stats is the time and days figures. I don’t record that data so those figures are basically gibberish. I’d also call bs on the number of players. It’s much much lower than that, less than 20 would be my guess. But this is due to me not adding everyone I play with as a named player. They only usually get added after I’ve played against/with them on a regular basis.
