Buying board games is a hobby entirely unrelated to playing them, and I like both. Is it too much? 😂

Played Carnegie (by Xavier Georges published by Pegasus Speiele) for the first time. Everyone really enjoyed it. Lots of great decisions to make. Cannot wait to play it again.

Knocked off the first play for my 10 by 10 for 2026. Final Girl from @vanrydergames.bsky.social. I have had everything for this game for a while but only played a hand full of time. This time I was Reiko going after Hans at Camp Happy Trails.
Who should be next?

This year I'm putting in an honest effort to bring get games to the table more than once or twice. So, I am challenging myself with a 10 by 10 (one is kind of a cheat because it's a designer not a specific game).

2025 was a good year. It was also the first year where I was consistent in tracking plays.
In 2026 I hope to get in 500 plays.
Here is to another year of great gaming!

We played a couple of games of Tag Team (by Grich German and Corentin Lebrat - published by @scorpionmasque.bsky.social ) to end the evening. I won both fights. Love the Golem and Milady combo.

First game of the evening was Shuffle and Swing by Robert Hovakimyan. Artwork from Gary Chalk & Alisha Giroux. Published by @bitewinggames.bsky.social. This is a lot more crunchy than it looks at first glance. Cannot wait to play it again.
