TableStop Thoughts: Board Game Bucket List

Firstly I want to preface this with saying this isn't my idea but one borrowed from http://www.artofboardgaming.com/gaming101/2018-board-game-challenges/ - Joe created an awesome printable and simple sheet to track plays of games.

So going back to my previous post about resolutions, I'm highlighting my second one first. Catching Up & Replaying. So using the above idea I have come up with a list of 39 games I would like to get played in 2018 in some way.

Here is the list broken down in sections.

1. Cult of The New

I missed a large chunk of the past year so I have a growing list of new and shiny that have adorned friend's tables or been part of year end round ups on youtube. These are games released in the past 2 years that I have not played yet:

Anachrony
Dinosaur Island
Heaven and Ale
Pulsar 2849 
Santa Maria
Near and Far
Ex Libris
Alien Artifacts
Lorenzo Il Magnifico
Raiders of the North Sea

2. More Than a Taste

This section is for newer games that I did manage to get just one play of during the past year or so, but would love to dive deeper into the experiences:

Lisboa
Clans of Caledonia
Clank! In! Space!
Yokohama
Railroad Revolution

3. Cult of the Old

Now for highly regarded games, that I haven't tried or again only one play wasn't enough to fully experience them:

Through the Ages
Ora et Labora
Eclipse
Brass
Age of Steam

4. Deserving of Table Time

These are games that I have already gotten at least 5 plays of that I want to play more in 2018:

Terraforming Mars
Great Western Trail
Concordia
La Granja
Signorie

5. Blow off the Dust

Looking back and seeing games that I enjoy but haven't played since 2015:

Roll for the Galaxy
Lewis & Clark
Qwirkle

6. Redemption Island

Picking one game that I had a problem with and didn't enjoy:

Deus

7. Earning Their Spots

The final section is all games that I own, that either I need to warrant their spot on my shelf or that I love and want to keep playing in 2018:

Millennium Blades
Alchemists
51st State
Legendary Encounters: Predator
Tragedy Looper
Argent: The Consortium
Alhambra
Carcassonne
Yedo
7 Wonders


Okay so I got my bucket list in place, this isn't a 10x10 challenge, these all have must play one time in the next 12 months requirement and multiple plays will be welcome.

Next time I want to discuss Achievements!
