An update on how I was doing on the 10x10 at the start of September.
Arkham Horror Family (9/10)
I'm planning on getting the final game of this done with an actual game of Arkham Horror - but the mad dash through Mansions of Madness has pushed this close to completion.
Power Grid (3/10)
Having firmly set itself up as "problem game #1" Power Grid is now going to be making an appearance at as many game days/evenings as I can force it to without being killed by my gaming groups.
Galaxy Trucker (10/10)
So this was on 5, then
that weekend happened. I burnt myself out on it, but have strange desire to go back and do it all again... just, not yet.
Ticket to Ride Family (10/10)
Ticket to Ride has managed its 10 with ease, as it was meant to. No doubt I'll play it a few more times before the year is out.
Race for the Galaxy (10/10)
Getting my brother hooked on 2 player made this an easy one to run through.
Risk Legacy (10/10)
The first to be finished as our pub group pushed through the campaign. Looking forward to Seafall and Pandemic Legacy.
Dungeon Petz (5/10)
The discovery that Petz works as well 2 player as it does 3 player has lead to a fair few 2 player games. I enjoy this, but need to get better at planning ahead for the buyers...
Space Alert (10/10)
Another run through the tutorial with new players brought this up to the required 10. I feel I really need to get a dedicated group up to speed so I can start hitting full missions.
Zombicide (10/10)
Along with Galaxy Trucker I feel I have burnt out on Zombicide, it will go back to resting until S3 sparks my interest once more. Or I'll start working through the S2 missions I haven't done yet.
Agricola (5/10)
A couple more games of Agricola (including introducing it to my evening group) makes me fairly certain that I will be able to finish this just through steady play, I just need to keep bringing it out at game days.
Bonus 4
Mice and Mystics (5/10)
Managed to play a phenomenal 5 games of Mice and Mystics this month by teaming up with my brother and charging at the campaign. Technically we lose the occasional game, but normally we plow on for the story purposes.
Descent 2nd Edition (10/10)
So we played through the Shadow Rune campaign (with quite a lot of rules errors). We will almost certainly start a Shadows of Nerekhall campaign, but probably just before the new year.
Android: Netrunner (10/10)
A further few games and I'm back to tweaking my decks and building new ones. Ahhhh, the addiction feels good.
Hanabi(9/10)
Last month I set myself a challenge to get 35 plays of my bonus 4... I managed the 5 plays of Mice and Mystics, I got the 2 plays of Netrunner, but this I missed. Hopefully I can get this played down the pub before too long, but again - not worried about finishing it.
All in all I am about where I want to be with the challenge - averaging about 10 plays a month in the key 10. I'm curious to see how much I'll be playing the games once I have finished the 10x10. I've also earmarked some games to be given the 10x10 treatment next year - but we'll see how I'm feeling come Dec/Jan for that.
