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.
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.
An average gaming month is probably the best way to describe the month of July.
But I’ll let the infographic below and the data tell the story of July.
Here we go…
And that’s another month gone.
Here is the Bgstats app summary of my gaming for June.
As always here’s the full stats for the month.
As will be evident from the data below May was not a great month of gaming for me. Not the worst. But not far off either.
So here is the data.
The day after completing one more circle round the sun it’s time to share my gaming stats for April.
Finally the raw stats.
This is how March ended up for me on the gaming front.
February for one reason or the other was a bad month for me gaming wise.
It was nearly going into first lockdown numbers.
Being honest I did miss it. I enjoy gaming. Especially the social aspect. I like gaming with my friends.
Here’s hoping March is much better.
Here are the less than impressive stats for the month.
Here we are for the first time in 2025 looking at the gaming stats for the start of the year.
It didn’t feel like I did much gaming in January but comparing it with December I did play more games. Which surprised me.
Here is that all important raw data behind the above 3×3.
It’s a struggle to write this post or any really because most of my time is taken up with Dolly and helping her settle in at the moment.
However she is so well behaved, except when it comes to food. Dolly is such a fast eater. To give Nico and Loki a chance I have to take Dolly out for a little walk.
But she is such an amazing character. I’m really lucky to have her share her life with me.
Let’s start off this summary post of gaming with December.
Like previous years this December was no different with few gaming opportunities due to all that seasonal stuff going on. Add on top of that the chest infection. What you end up with is very little gaming happening.
The surprise game of the month was getting an opportunity to play Thunderbirds the board game. But I’ll write that up as a separate post.
I’m not going to compare the figures with 2023, but I played more games this year, and a lot more new games to me were played. Which did surprise me.
I think one gaming highlight of the year for me was getting back into Dice Masters. It’s still as much fun as I had remembered. Plus creating new ways to play with others such as building a cube and drafting helped find others to play the game with me.
Ok here is the full list of the 93 games I played in 2024.
I played 72 new to me games this year. That’s the majority of the games I played in 2024.
Obviously I haven’t bought 72 new games this year.
Using the filters within the Bgstats app I was able to find out that 35 of those games were mine. Or I bought my own copy after playing someone else’s copy. Cubed is one such example.
The full list of new to me games is shown below.
So out of these games which is my game of 2024?
It was close. I nearly went with my most played game of the year Star Wars Unlimited. However I think that there has been one more deserving of the honour for me. That game is …
Strike.
Strike is such a blast to play. It’s been a hit with those I’ve played it with.
It’s quick to play, so much fun. There are great random dice roll moments. We’ve laughed a lot.
And it’s those reasons that Strike is my game of 2024.
I’ll just end this boring round up by wishing everyone a
