In Lists, New to Me Monthly

Another month done and over, and lots of games were played! I had a few new things hit the table at home, but also plenty during our local game store’s 24-hour gaming event. The games aren’t always hits, but it is always fun just to hang out and try something new. Have you ever attended a 24-hour gaming event?

❤️ – Loved It/Always Love It/Favorite (I rate it a 9 – 10)
😄 – Liked It/Will Likely Play Again (I rate it a 7 – 8)
🤷🏻‍♀️ – Okay/Take It or Leave It/Could Play Again (I rate it a 4 – 6)
👎🏻 – Didn’t Like/Would Not Play Again (I rate it a 1 – 3)

10 Games That Left a Bad First Impression

By

On April 13, 2023

In Dislikes, Lists

I strongly believe that if you do not like a game after 1 play, you do not have to play it ever again. If you want to try it again, by all means, go for it! But if you’re only doing it because you feel like you “have to,” you definitely don’t have to!

When I dislike a game, I usually say I won’t be playing it again. And, I don’t know how many times I have been told that I “just need to give it another try,” or I “need to try this variant/home rule,” or that I “didn’t get it yet,” or “it’s better on the 2nd or 3rd play.” While all of that is great, if a game doesn’t ‘wow’ me, I just don’t feel like anyone should ever feel obligated to try a game multiple times if you didn’t have a good first experience.

With all that said, here are 10 games that missed the mark for me, and didn’t leave me wanting to come back for more.
