As someone with a few too many games, I know that I play a lot of weird stuff. I have games about battling goats, running a power company, and climbing mountains. But there’s a game in my collection that seems to surprise other gamers – Monopoly.

I’ve played a variety of games recently, which has been great. I started doing my demos a little differently, which has also helped me enjoy more table time. January had a few new entries and some old favorites.
Normally I don’t really do traditional New Year’s resolutions. Instead I do a 100 x 1 challenge, where I try to play 100 new-to-me games in a year. This has lead to me playing a lot of different and fun games over the past few years, but in 2018, I’m going to change it up a bit.
I do a number of conventions each year – Unpub, Origins, Gen Con, and BGG.Con are the regular ones. I enjoy them all, but BGG.Con will always hold a special place for me. This year is no exception.
