October 2022 Gaming Stats
It’s that time of month to once again summarise using the bgstat app what games I got to the table in October.
And now for the “raw” bgstats data!
Finally my challenge progress (if any).
Flashback to October 2016
Hard to think it’s been a month since the last one of these jumps back in time to look at what I was playing six years ago.
Time sure flies when you are going from one challenging situation to another.
So let’s get right to it and look at what my top nine played games were back in October 2016.
Looking at the top nine, it looks like Netrunner was still a thing at my FLGS. FFG hadn’t started nerfing Anarchs or NBN at this point.
I was also getting some games in of Ashes. Although I was still using the pre-con decks, and hadn’t gotten into the deck building side.
If memory hasn’t failed me my games of Star Wars Imperial Assault were from one of the rare organised play events at my FLGS. Which means these were skirmish games not campaign games.
With Tiny Epic Western being played the Kickstarter for it must have just arrived. I know this didn’t sit with everyone who played it, but I did like the mix of worker placement and poker. Plus I loved the playmat they did for the game.
Karmaka is a great card game that deserves seeing the table again. I really liked the mechanic that attracted me to the Kickstarter where cards you play can be used by your opponent. The theme really does come through in this game.
Zombicide hit the table. I’m shocked that happened.
7 Wonders Duel, an instant two player classic. One I need to play again. Nathan loves this game too. That’s how good the game is.
Still enjoy playing Splendor, although no longer in my collection, I do have the Marvel version.
Star Wars Timelines. A lovely quick Star Wars game that does test your knowledge of the original trilogy.
Finally for this type of post here are the raw stats for the month.
September 2022 Gaming Stats
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.
Ok here are the stats and games played for the month.
Finally here is my current challenges progress.
Flashback to September 2016
It’s time to quantum leap back to September 2016 and the games I was playing that month.
It’s an interesting top 9 this month. Four of the games played were Kickstarter editions.
It’s nice to see I was getting Android Netrunner to the table. I think this was the time that it started to get some traction at a local gaming group and the FLGS. So games were easier to come by.
I don’t remember much of the game play for Thief’s Market. I vaguely remember dice and I think I split you choose mechanic. But I might be wrong on the mechanic.
I’m always going to remember Saloon Tycoon as the first game I ever played with Diego. It’s also the game he earnt the reputation as points monster. First time he ever played the game he wiped the floor with Jonathan and myself.
Grifters was a very cool card game with an interesting cool-down mechanic that I backed on Kickstarter. I even backed the follow up to this. I loved the cyberpunk theme that might be connected to the Resistance universe if I remember correctly. The art is pretty cool.
Talking of theme Hit Z Road just oozes it’s post zombie apocalypse theme. It’s a nice light dice based game too. Jonathan even enjoyed this one!
I really need to get Spectre Ops back to the table. I think we have the play group for this now. The promised app for it never did appear. And I really should get the follow up. I see the basis of another bgstat challenge here.
The Great Heartland Hauling Co. is a nice light pick up and deliver game. Pretty small box also. I liked it so much I got my own copy.
Here are the full bgstats for the month.
August 2022 Gaming Stats
It’s that time of month once again to share with you my gaming stats for the month just gone.
As I write this post I am in my third week of the new job role. Which I am enjoying. But I’ll talk more about that in other posts I’m sure.
In the meantime let’s just get on with the post.
Now for the stats.
The full list of games played.
Finally the progress (if any) on the current challenges.
Flashback to August 2016
I’ve parked the delorean back in August of 2016. So let’s look at what games I played back then.
Well it looks like I was still playing the lcg Ashes Rise of the Phoenix Born.
I love the worker placement game The Manhattan Project. So it was a no brainer that I got the card game based on it The Manhattan Project Chain Reaction. It’s fairly light and quick to play.
I’ve also been known to enjoy a game of 7 Wonders. Despite being able to play 7 Wonders as a two player game, it’s a kludge at best. Now 7 Wonders Duel is an amazing two player game. So good that Nathan loved it, and has his own copy.
Continuing the two player game theme this month seems to have I got the great two player hand management game Odin’s Ravens to the table.
And a big surprise I actually played a couple of physical games of Star Realms. That is such a rarity.
I enjoyed New Bedford but can I ever forgive it for bringing Nantucket (the worst game ever) into my life?
And here is the complete list of games played I played back then.
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.
Finally the progress I’ve made on one or two of the challenges.
Same again next month?
My Top 9 Played Games of 2022 So Far
A short post today.
We are over half way through the year now.
So I thought I’d share what my top nine played games of 2022 so far are.
I don’t think it’s going to help that there are two Stonemaier games in the list. I already get “teased” by one or two at game meets for being a Stonemaier fanboy. This will just add more ammunition for the banter.
Anyway nine great games. How many of them will still be on this list at the end of the year?
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.
Ok here comes the bgstats stats with all that cool data.
And finally here is the little progress on the gaming challenges.
See you next month.
