Typically, this is the time of year (actually, I'm about a week late) when people publish their "five and dime" lists, naming the games that they've played at least five and ten times, respectively. I'm feeling a bit inadequate, as only one game made it into the dime list (Cash 'n Guns), and only another pair (Imperial and Tongiaki) hit the fives. There were however a number of trios and quads. I guess I'm just very diversified in my gaming tastes.

Gaming was down quite a bit from 2006. I only played 176 games, as opposed to 2006's 225. This could be due to my play of more longer games, as opposed to a bunch of short ones. It could also be that I've been more busy, and haven't been able to play games as often. Interestingly, my number one game from last year, Attika, wasn't played once this year. Hey That's My Fish, RoboRally and Bus all took pretty big drops too, the latter due to my lack of online play, I'm sure. In this coming year, I see Race for the Galaxy and Cutthroat Caverns getting more playtime, and I hope I can bring out Imperial and Antike more often, now that I have my own copies. Atta Ants needs to hit the table again soon, since my BGG Secret Santa gave me the second expansion with the kamikaze wasps. Still, I'd be fooling myself if I didn't expect that playtime will likely drop some more in 2008. There's a baby to take care of, after all. He won't be old enough to play Power Grid for, say, at least five or six years.

For those that want the full list...
