My challenges were codely interrupted by Advent of Code. I didn’t play any games and almost no solos at all in December. AoC got prioritized over everything.
My unplayed challenge stands at 8/30 games played (specifically selected ones)
My 13x13 solo challenge remains where it was just shy of completion. But I must say it started as a 10x10 challenge and got upgraded sometime during the year when I was optimistic.
I may set some dynamic challenges again to see how it develops but I can also see that outside of short phases I do little gaming specifically for completion of these challenges. So I am not sure how much sense it makes. As games don’t happen regularly enough so I can actually plan anything outside of solo gaming.
Expect to continue playing Terraforming Mars regularly as it’s a nice, meditiatve solo experience. Also enjoy Black Angel and Concordia. Roll Player is acceptable and fits into a lunch break, which is useful.
The rest of the titles didn’t quite live up to expectations. Arkham Horror and Imperium: Classics probably need more of a go, but didn’t click on first play, so it was quite an effort to get them out and set up for a second session. I’ll endevour to finish Lord of the Rings in time to sell at the next flea market.

Didn’t get all the decks played, but exceeded the play count goal, so calling this a win.
The five challenge year turned out to be largely appropriate, although the selection of games for the 10x10 was perhaps a little ambitious with too high a proportion of long, complicated games.
