2020 Year in Review


To recap my 2020 Goals: I wanted to have 1,500 plays, play on 300 days, and have an H-Index of 10. Without further ado, here’s my 2020 Year in Review.

Number of Plays: 1,156 – 1,500 was a bit ambitious… but this number is still pretty solid!
Unique Games Played: 551
Different People Played With: 37 (thanks virtual gaming!)
Unique Locations Played At: 8
Hours Spent Playing Games: 734
Number of Days Played: 316

H-Index: 10  –  ergo, we played 10 games, 10 times. The games we played at least 10 times were: Just One, Legendary: A Marvel Deck-Building Game, Cartographers, Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated, Monikers, Sagrada, X-Code, Fluxx, Kamigami Battles, and Qwixx

My 2020 Win Percent: 53%

Stephen’s 2020 Win Percent: 49%

My Favorite New-to-Me in 2020 Game: I played about 206 new-to-me games in 2020! So… I can’t be expected to pick just one! So here’s a few: Tidal Blades, Cartoon Network: Crossover Crisis, and Cowboy Bebop: Space Serenade. Additionally, Stockpile Continuing Corruption was my favorite new-to-me expansion in 2020.

Stephen’s Favorite New-to-Him in 2020 Game: Stephen couldn’t limit himself to just 1 game either! His top new-to-him games that he played this year were: Empyreal: Spells & Steams, Heroscape, Cowboy Bebop: Space Serenade, and Tidal Blades. Additionally, his favorite new-to-him expansion was the Stockpile Continuing Corruption Expansion as well!

2021 Goals: Play a boatload of games and have a boatload of fun!


Additionally — An Announcement!

Going forward I’m no longer going to be doing my weekly plays lists. I haven’t really been enjoying putting the lists together as much, so they’ve been bogging me down a little bit. Instead, I’m planning on posting more pictures frequently on social media (so make sure to follow me), and I’m thinking of trying out a “new to me last month” series! Thanks again for another year of gaming. Let’s make 2021 one for the books!

Happy Gaming~

What I Played This Week 12/21-12/27

Whaaaaat is up gamers? We’re back again with another weekly plays list! I played way more this week than I thought I would, and I’m not complaining! A very thematic week, with plenty of Walking Dead themed games, which I wish were better, but hey, nothing painful at least, haha! What’d you get to the table this past week?

Puzzle Postcards Series Two

It’s the return of the escape room in an envelope! If you have an analytical mind that you’re dying to put to the test, and you’re looking to find big puzzles in a small package, then these puzzle postcards may be for you! Don’t worry, there aren’t any story/solution spoilers ahead, only a streamlined review to help you decide if this one should be on your shelf. Let’s check it out!


What I Played This Week 12/14-12/20

What’s up, gamers? What have you been playing lately? Have more 2020 releases made it to your table this month? Or are you finding yourself pulling out more things from last year? Two years ago? Ten years ago? Follow-up question: what Christmas and holiday themed games are you playing, if any? I don’t think I have anything besides The Letters to Santa themed Love Letter myself, but that’s a great one.

I have a review coming up early this week, and then I’ll be MIA for a few days for the holidays. I have about a bazillion cookies to bake, but I hope I get some gaming time too.

Happy Gaming, & Happy Holidays~

Welcome Back to the Top 100!

Hey there, gamers, and welcome back to another Top 100! I ranked my rated games using this fancy website. The list saw a bunch of changes this year, some new games, some increases, some drops, but still a list of awesome games! Check it out in full below, and keep an eye on my YouTube channel for a few quick videos giving you some of my additional thoughts on these over the next few days!

Here’s last year’s list, if you’d like to see it in full. But I will also note new games with a (N), and games from last year’s with a (#) next to them, with whatever number they came in at last time.

Enjoy & Happy Gaming~
