Gaming Goals for 2022

I, too, have a problem with the FOMO and with retail therapy. (…)

Now the next step is to start limiting the game buying. Slowly. I don’t think I can go from 52 to 0. But I’ve started by listing purchase date for my whole collection in BGG and then saw that an average year before I started watching reviews I bought ~10 to 15 games. So my limit is 1 game / month plus 3 bonus for SPIEL if it happens. (…)

Another goal is to prevent the collection from growing over a certain magical game count 200 if you want to know, (…)

I am still thinking about a good resolution for what games to play. I am certain I want to get more of my games played–again with the same goal of figuring out which games get to stay. So 10x10 may not be totally feasible. At least not in any pre-planned way. (…)

Yeah, so buying less… or staying below 200 games didn‘t happen. I failed although I do seem to have somehow managed to start limiting myself since November. I did finish some „easy“ auto-fill 10x10 challenges—with lots of solos as anticipated.

So for collection goals, my hope for 2022 is that I keep up the less-buying and squeeze the collection back below 200. With the way things have been going since November, I have hopes that I‘ll do better this time.

My secondary collection goal is to reduce my number of unplayed games. I do not think one year will be enough to get everything owned or preordered played (77 games are in that category). But I would be extremely happy if I got 50 of those one the table at least once.

As for goals for playing games: besides the unplayed games I want to play, I have also created a couple challenges that I posted about in the 10x10 thread. One for games that I hope my partner will participate in (plus whoever finds their way to our table) and one for solo gaming.

Mostly, I just hope that I get to play games with my friends in person more than in the last 2 years.
