Sounds like a great idea. I'm in.

1. Argent: The Consortium

2. Mage Knight

3. Descent 2E

4. Dune
12/26/2015 - 3 games: a 4p tutorial (won 1st turn with Harkonnen), a full 4p game (won 4th turn in a Harkonnen/Emperor alliance), then another 3p game with another new crowd (won first turn with Atreides).
01/23/2016 - Yet another 4p tutorial. Won 5th turn with a Fremen/Harkonnen alliance, despite flubbing the traitor cards a couple of times.
02/27/2016 - A full six-player game, and only one guy new. I appear to have acquired a reputation for being 'unbeatable' at Dune, so I volunteered to refrain from joining any alliances - I would try to win solo with Fremen. I made a play on the fifth turn but got annihilated by a Lazgun explosion. Good times.

5. Chaos in the Old World
02/06/2016 - A 4p tutorial game, first time for all players other than myself. I did pretty poorly with a hybrid strategy Tzeench while Khorne made all the right moves and won on the dial.

6. X-Wing Miniatures

7. Race for the Galaxy
(Mid-year?) About 3 games with my wife, all with the Alien Artifacts expansion. I'm quite happy with it, I think it's time to let go of the original expansion trilogy.

8. Suburbia
(Mid-year?) - About 2 plays with the wife. Won both of them because she had difficulty managing the spatial placement element. Regardless, I'm not really enjoying myself too much. What to buy is trivial, and most of the work is just constantly counting and evaluating +1 bonuses. Not interesting enough, goes to the sell pile.

9. Kingdom Builder
12/30/2015 - 2 games: Both 4 player, I lost both. There is a lot going on under the surface here - there were a bunch of times that I wanted to re-do my turn right after I finished, and I'm not even talking about advanced plays like choking your own terrain options to maximize future turns. I am not sure if I dislike this game or if I am just really bad at it.
01/01/2015 - One game with my in-laws. Paddock feels overpowered. It does great things, mechanically, but it's quite straightforward where the rest of the game is subtle. I am starting to think that I really don't like Kingdom Builder after all.

10. Fields of Arle
01/30/2016 - Two games in two days, losing both to my wife. First game I pretty much just flail around, end up with 72 points. Second game I go for a more focused dry goods strategy and I end up with 93 points. It feels quite different from Agricola/Caverna. There is SO much to do in this game, and it's impossible to do it all. But at the same time there's less pressure and a lot more incentive to specialize.

ALT: Terra Mystica
1/16/2016 - A 5p learning game, first time for me. I had the Acolytes and played really aggressively, investing in magic generation to power up my volcanoes. Lost the game by just one point. I loved the game, so now it's my alt, replacing Agricola.
(Mid-year?) - About 4 games with my in-laws. Lost most of them. I'm really enjoying this game!

07/100 plays completed as of Mar 12.

Spent the last month rewriting this list trying to get a good mix between games with the family and games for myself. I guess I should get this recorded before the new year starts.

01 - Zooloretto (1/10)
02/14

02 - Survive: Escape from Atlantis (0/10)
03 - Lord of the Rings: The Card Game (0/10)
04 - Myth (0/10)
05 - Mice and Mystics (1/10)
01/03 - First chapter. Played w/my daughter, it was our first game of Mice and Mystics. She had to bow out after half the game as it was getting late, so I finished up for both of us. Crushing defeat.

06 - Star Wars Risk (1/10)
01/03 - Played w/my son. Our second time. I played as Empire, and made a few "mistakes" at the end which led to my son winning.

07 - Le Havre (0/10)
08 - Dice Town (4/10)
01/01 - Played w/whole family. My daughter somehow won, and my wife carried a grudge against me the entire game
01/02 - Played w/whole family. I managed to win despite my wife's continuing grudge.
01/31
03/05

09 - Ascending Empires (0/10)
10 - Ghost Stories (0/10)
Alternate - Warhammer Quest Adventure Card Game (0/10)

I should get in on this.

1. Twilight Struggle
2. Cruel Necessity
3. Ashes: That Phoenix game that is better than MTG
4. Ars Victor
5. That weird fantasy warfare game--Prince of Chaos
6. Heroscape
7. Summoner Wars
8. Kriegbot

I don't think I own any more medium weight games worth playing. Also, I have to buy two of these games--is that cheating?

I never made a list because the thought of playing any of my games 10 times, let alone 10 games, was amusing. But I can report I have had 71 plays of my games since 1st Dec, more than I thought I would with the limited AT players here - although 14 plays were of Star Wars Risk, and the next four most played games (6,6,4,4) were bought after that date but they are quality AT titles (Forbidden Stars, Star Wars Rebellion, Age of Conan, AGoT The Card Game).

I know I'm in last place but I was curious if maybe I'm tied for last

Down to three more games. But I may come up lacking at the end. I just took a new job and free time is pretty shot for the next three months. That and thanks to Pokemon Go sending us to random monuments, my wife and I are on a heavy ACW/AWI kick so Battlecry is on the table and I am hoping to rope her into Washington's Crossing.
