My 2025 Boardgaming

It’s that time of year once again where I bore you with the stats for the year.

This year despite one or two poor months I’ve surprisingly played more games than last year, yet had less plays! I’ve also played more new to me games.

I’ve said in a previous post this year seems to be the return of some old favourites such as Netrunner and Ashes. Which I’m glad I’ve done. I’ve really enjoyed playing these games again.

My GOTY…

I think this is probably the easiest year since I started doing this for choosing my game of the year.

As you can see from below I’ve played 84 new games (to me) this year. And there have been some crackers.

But before I share with you my GOTY I think a few honourable mentions need to be made. Any other time these games would be worthy winners.

Honourable mentions: Battle of Hoth, War, Furnace, Tir na nog, Vantage, Rebirth

Ok and now onto my GOTY. Which I think you could guess easily.

My GOTY is…

Rebel Princess.

This is such an amazing trick taking game.

It became a group favourite after the first play. It’s quick to teach. The variety from the princesses and round cards makes each game feel unique.

We have had so many moments and laughs playing this game.

The boring bit…

Bgstats for November 2025

This month really has been a month of feast and famine in the gaming front.

Although it has been nice to get some of the new arrivals to the table and to have a couple of themed gaming sessions.

Overall it’s been an average sort of month. Which at one point when it was looking like hardly any gaming would take place is a pleasant surprise.

And the underlying raw data now follows.

Bgstats for October 2025

Another month in the can.

The clocks have gone back, the days getting shorter as the nights get longer.

So as we go into the final two months of 2025 it’s time once more to share my gaming stats for the month just gone.

Ok here are the much anticipated raw figures for October.

See you in the second part of the round up post for October.

Bgstats for September 2025

Well that’s another month gone and we edge just that little bit closer to Christmas (Christmas chocolates etc have been on sale for over a month now in the supermarkets).

It’s been a below average month for gaming thanks to getting vertigo, and others in the group also having health problems.

Right here are the raw numbers.

That’s it for another month. I’ll do a post summarising the games I’ve played and what I thought of them in another post.

Bgstats for August 2025

Wow this month has flown by.

I’m hoping September flies by as well because at the end of it, maybe a day or two into October Diogo should be joining the little monsters. Plus I’m also on holiday at the same time.

But I know September will drag on especially as it gets closer to arrival and the excitement levels ramp up.

However today you are here to see what I played in August. And you know I hate to disappoint.

So here are the “infographics” summing up my August gaming.

Obviously I owe you a long post talking about the games I’ve played recently and that’ll be in a day or two.
