Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Challenge for 2017: 5 x 5
Personally, the 10 x 10 helped me clear away some games that (after a few plays) I realized that I didn’t want to play them 10 times in 2016 or in what remains of my life.

2. Napoleon’s Triumph [1/5]
3. Struggle of Empires [4/5]
4. Dune [1/5]
5. Amateurs to Arms [1/5]
This should be interesting. I have no three player games listed since my only qualifying game would be Maria which will be played five times regardless, because it’s the BEST FUCKING GAME EVAH! Still, my reasoning is that Dune is actually playable at 5, Struggle is good at 5 or 7 and GoT needs six to shine. From now on, if I have six, it’s GoT. I’m not even putting Dune forth as an option. For 2 players I have Napoleon’s Triumph, and Amateurs to Arms which is a really bitchin’ 1812 CDG wargame. There are a lot of decisions and operations. The first couple plays are really dizzying and end game scoring isn’t particularly elegant, but the scope from naval race, to promoting generals and battles/sieges made the game really fun.

2. Duel of Ages
3. Prince of Chaos
4. Eastfront
5. Pax Pamir
Edit: some of these are new but I don't care because I don't have that many games on my shelf.

2. Combat Commander: Mediterranean
3. Combat Commander: Resistance
4. Combat Commander: Pacific
5. Combat Commander: RSG / C3i / BP 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
Its possible I'll swap out Pacific and BP4 and count RSG in one slot and BP1,2,3,5,6,7 with the C3i stuff as the other.
Easy, especially at the current rate of 2 F2F games per week with VASSAL on top.
(cheap add: Tigris & Euphrates, El Grande, Medici which we play every week at work).

1. Here I Stand
2. Tichu
3. Tigris & Euphrates
4. Lord of the Rings
5. Successors
2016 saw 0 plays of Here I Stand, which is a yearly low for me since I think I've played anywhere from two to eight times a year since first learning this game in 2008. Part of that was due to Monday night group flaming out a bit and also summertime weekends smartly not being spent playing an all day game and a few other things taking up the winter/early spring weekend slots(new COIN, Churchill). We should be getting a couple of those kickstarter boardgame tables soon, which will mean we can bust out long games on the weekly game night and just play over 2-3 weeks. I used to play a ton of Tichu and that died out when I moved away from my last game group. It was typically our game night closer or came up at other random times when hanging out. I just need to get some new regulars "trained up" on it. T&E is obviously the best euro and is how I measure time spent playing other games. "Oh, we just spent 3 hours playing this spreadsheet optimization game, but we could have played 3 games of T&E instead"... yes, obnoxious.
I play Lord of the Rings once in awhile, but have both Sauron and Friends & Foes expansion that haven't been tapped yet. So I would like to finally explore those. Successors is my long 4 player game of choice. I probably like Friedrich a little better but Unicron will make me play Maria a billion times so don't need to play that many games from the same system.

2. Dune- It has been too long since I last played for the Spice. It will hit the table a couple times this year. - 0/5
3. Through the Desert - Owned to for years, played it a couple times. Need to get it to the table or tradepile - 1/5
4. Formula De - I have not played it in a decade, but I also did not own a copy until this summer. - 3/5
2/7 update
Two runs of each DCG campaign I have:
Islands of Lost Spells
Upon the Wind
And a run at the apparent classic Death Test of the Thorsz
For those not familiar, in the microgame era there was a standout light rpg called Melee. It was expanded with Wizard and eventually became The Fantasy Trip. It was a simple, fast, tristat system using chits and hexes. Easy to learn, a blast to play. Sadly TFT died out in the 80s. In the early 2000s we were blessed with Heroscape which sparked some people to get back into TFT, which is how I learned about it. Since Steve Jackson will never reprint the original series, a new company has risen up and releases campaigns for a TFT like system called Dark City Games. For $13+shipping, you get a baggy with a choose your own adventure styled campaign book, with maps and a sheet of chits you have to cut out. Coupling it with scratch paper and some dice and you have a solid night of gaming ahead of you. Though I played each of the DCG campaigns both solo and coop, I feel they are better as solo affairs or in an RPG setting. Having a player reading all the elements and playing the enemies gets awkward, but I can see doing it with a DM easily. Death Test of Thorsz is known to be a meat grinder, and if you can get past the third room (commonly called the bear room), you are doing well. Well we didnt get past the second room that was full of spiders...
Despite my misgiving about not having a DM, my wife loved playing an RPG that didnt take six months for something to happen in. So we are trying a full party in the near future.
