The past couple years I've put together some gaming goals at the beginning of the year. Not something that I hold myself to a lot, but at least they are in the back of my mind. It is no 10x10 challenge, though perhaps this year I'll do that, but rather it is some general fun.
So how'd I do on last year's goals? Let's see below.
1. Play 100 games with my daughters.
Success! I've played 148 games so far with my kids and I'm sure I'll get a few more in before the end of the year. We played 48 unique games, with Dominion, Slide Blast, and King of Tokyo getting more plays than any others. It has been a great year playing with them and I'm excited to see where next year goes. I'm sure this will be a gaming goal again.
2. Have a working prototype for a game I'm designing with a friend.
I'm going to give this a success. Not sure the 'with a friend' part has gone as well as he or I would have liked. We bandied some ideas about, but both got really busy with life. However, in the past year I have put together a prototype and played it three times!
3. Show Lunch Swap to a publisher.
The prototype is with a publisher right now! Maybe it'll come of something, maybe it won't, but this goal is accomplished.
4. 5 x 10 Challenge
I've failed miserably at this one. Which is why I don't do a 10x10 challenge. Here are my plays: *Eminent Domain x1, Roll for the Galaxy x3, Suburbia x7, Innovation x4, Traders of Osaka x2. As you can see not a single one at the 10 play mark. Perhaps next year I should do a 5x5, which will get me closer, but still failing.
So there you go. 3 out of 4 isn't so bad right? In the next few weeks I'm sure I'll put together a goals for 2018 post.
*This makes me really sad. Only a single play of EmDo! I've got to do much better than that in 2018. Love that game.
