10x10 February Progress

Another month down and time to tally the count, no pictures this time around.

Doomtown Reloaded: 10

So, two months in and I have the plays for Doomtown finished, I will keep track just to see how many plays I get in over the year but only 7 of these plays are coming off of the count. Tried out a new abomination build out of Fourth Ring and it went pretty rough: I have some ideas to try and fix it but hopefully the new home might help because I don't have much faith in it being a tournament caliber build right now.

Terra Mystica: 2

Another two plays down, the missus won both pretty handily. Still our score have been declining steadily, something for me to try and figure out.

Founding Fathers: 1

I love this game, so much fun if you enjoy light banter and the continental congress.

Saint Petersburg: 1

Solid econ engine allowed me to control the aristocrats the other side had access to buying. This is one of the games that things just fell right when I had the first option.

So that bring the total up to 17 out of 100 plays so far this year.

10x10 January Progress

So my final list of my 10x10 challenge is:

1. Castles of Burgundy
2. Founding Fathers
3. Keyflower
4. Robinson Crusoe
5. Saint Petersburg
6. T'Zolkin
7. Terra Mystica
8. Nations
9. Doomtown Reloaded
10. Machi Koro

So the progress for last month was:

Nations: 1

Got the set-up but we forgot to get and end game picture. The game is starting to wear down the missus since I do not ignore the wars and she tends to even when it would be in her best interest to start one to deny me the opportunity. These might be our last plays of the game if her outlook of the game stays the same, would give me a chance to get another civ game so I'm okay with whatever decision comes down the road.

Terra Mystica: 1

Here are our starting places, she went with Witches and I went with Swarmlings(I wanted to try them out).

Here is the game right before we converted resources to victory points, I believe the final ended up being 95-93 Swarmings, this was one of our lowest scoring games. We pretty much stayed away and she didn't build her Stronghold because she wanted to try a more Temple focused game. We both made some poor decisions that led to suboptimal bonus scoring but we did learn a lot by trying out a different style of play.

Doomtown Reloaded: 3


Playing as Fourth Ring a lot right now and tweaking the deck after most games. I am probably going to finish out this cycle with them until I win a play mat or I get tired of the builds I have but nothing else really appeals outside of a possible Mad Scientist build after Election Day Slaughter comes out. From there I will probably switch over to a blessed deck from the pine box and just keep busy until shamans show up.

Machi Koro: 1

Castles of Burgundy: 1

The first time I have won against the wife where I didn't have to ply her with alcohol. She had one of the expansion maps and the tile fell my way when it came to going first choice on the turns I was first player

So 6 out of the 100 plays down in January. I didn't not knock off any of my unplayed games last month.

Catch you on the flip side.

10x10 Gaming Challenge for 2015

So,

We are closing in on the 10 games we are going to play 10 times or more during 2015.

1. Castles of Burgundy
2. Founding Fathers
3. Keyflower
4. Robinson Crusoe
5. Saint Petersburg
6. T'Zolkin
7. Terra Mystica
8. Nations
9. ??????
10. ???????

The 10th game is still in the air since I would like to try a few of my unplayed games before deciding on the final slot. Machi Koro could fill in for the 9th slot but I still think it might be too quick for the challenge.
