Gaming Goals for 2021

What are you using for the logging?

Just BGG. For whatever reason I’ve never tapped into any of the tools available there.

I use the unofficial BGG android app (that you have to side-band install). I’m so used to it, in fact, that I struggle to log my plays without it by using the actual BGG play logging form.

I use BG stats on Android and use it to sync with BGG. Highly recommended!

Inspired by your goal, I’ve been playing the heck out of on my phone and finally hit 300.

Very, very good. I got 251 earlier this week.

Don’t see how 300 is possible. I’m well impressed

The vast majority of the games are sub-250 (and many sub-200). I was playing 6+ games a day for the past month. : )

I’ve started getting 200+ more regularly, but occasionally crash and burn with a 110.

I’m always low on 1 section

No screenshot, but I just got 328! 4 foxes got 112 points

I found a local copy of Forbidden Stars in excellent condition and for an equally excellent price. Good enough to pop it back on the list, at the expense of a few games in my chop list. I’ll be picking it up this afternoon.

I had been musing with my friends about this being the grail blitz of 2021—I got all my long sought after games cleaned up in one month, basically! This is… simultaneously awesome and highly inconvenient. My friend’s reply was too good (if bleak) not to share:

It’s not the blitz of 2021. I’m seeing the results of the curse of 2020.

Game Logging: Scorepal (if you are on Android). It’s fantastic. There is an unrelated Scorepal on IOS that is considered worthless.

Goals: Sidereal Confluence.

That’s it. If I can get that many people, that committed, in a room together for that long, I’ll be happy.

When it comes to reducing the number of games I’m buying, the pandemic has made a big change. Both in the obvious sense, in that when I can’t play with anyone there’s no reason to get new games, but also in that we are all looking forward to playing games that previously felt a bit tired.

My group isn’t as interested in breaking out new experiences than they are excited to get together and play the games that we all loved before things went wonky. Like a warm comfort blanket of familiar games.

While I was trying to find more games that work with a group of ~8 people in 2019, I’m now in a situation where any new games will have to wait because all our old favourites feel fresh again!

We just made plans for Azul and 7 Wonders for the week-end :slight_smile: TTS and BGA because still lockdown but I am glad nobody is going to have to remote-teach anything.

I was also looking for games for bigger groups in 2019… I didn’t get to play many of those…
