Pretty modest, especially as Knizias don't count
Best new-to-me: Challengers! is a lot of fun and Excape the best of the new-to-me Knizias.

A fantastic weekend away with my games group saw lots of old favourites get played. There was a lot of Strike and Hit with my family, and some fun online plays with the OG guild.

Phew, slowed down quite a bit after the summer craziness. The two Knizias got a lot of play.
Best new-to-me: No Mercy (or Hit! in my edition) which may have become my favourite pure push-your-luck game.

And I thought last quarter was big... this was insane. I had two family holidays, a wonderful weekend away with old gaming friends and a month 'home alone' so I guess it's not surprising I played a lot!
Now a look at the collection. *deep breath*

A lot of turnover! But most of the new ones are really good and I instituted a giveaway thread in the OG guild which has been going well.
Best new-to-me: it's got to be Strike, a brilliant play-with-anyone hit

A very quiet February as we semi-isolated in preparation for our first trip to the in-laws in the US since Christmas 2018. Nice regular Tuesday night games nights outside of that, plus some family/kids games at home and a smattering of online trick-taking and BGA with my team at work.

Now a look at the collection.

Went a little bit crazy (plus some gifts), but shifted a few things too. Also had a big reorganisation of the games cupboard and cut the unplayed list down to size.
Best new-to-me: Rosetta: The Lost Language is fascinating. 白と黒でトリテ (Trick-Taking in Black and White), Profiteers, The Bridges of Shangri-La and Brian Boru: High King of Ireland all promising too.

A lean July watching a lot of football and waiting for my second jab was followed by face-to-face games night returning with a bang in August and September. What a joy it's been! Online gaming continued too with my Doppelkopf obsession deepening and my workmates continuing to clamour for Midnight Party.
Now a look at the collection.

Incomings were bolstered by a couple of review copies for Tabletop Spirit magazine. Cleared a few more from the backlog that built up during lockdown too.
Best new-to-me: Great Plains is delightfully snappy and feisty. Had a lot of fun with So Clover and Cross Clues too.
New 10s: Doppelkopf earned its place as my now favourite traditional tricktaker, possibly favourite tricktaker full stop.

A weird and frustrating quarter. I got my first shot, things were generally looking good and I even went to my first 3+ player games night since before the pandemic. Then the delta variant took hold, cases started rocketing again and I decided to scale it back to 2p until after my second jab next month. Others in my group are playing though, so the Tuesday online sessions have ended. Still lots of good online tricktaking sessions and some fun family gaming though.
Now a look at the collection.

At least I managed to play all the new ones, and knock a couple off the backlog. Hopefully there will be more opportunities in Q3...
Best new-to-me: loved the traditional and traditional-inspired trick-takers Doppelkopf and Le Plateau and laughed a lot with Biss 20 at home.

Probably the toughest quarter so far. School was closed again so we had home-school to manage alongside work for a couple of months, and national lockdown was back too so no chance to socialise. Did a lost of asynch on BGA (which I don't log), particularly Res Arcana which is still delivering! Things are looking brighter with cases down and vaccines up and I'm holding out hope for some face-to-face gaming in Q2!

Well I'm going to have plenty of options when games nights do start up again! Seemed only fair to pick up a few of the Japanese card games I've been enjoying so much on playingcards.io.
Best new-to-me: three fabulous card games in the form of the sequel to (and improvement on) The Crew, Nokosu Dice and Scout.

A grim quarter really with the second wave meaning even my limited face-to-face gaming over the summer had to be abandoned. Q1 2021 doesn't look like it'll be much better either - crazy that I'll have gone at least a year without playing a game in the flesh with more than one other adult.

A bit of end-of-year retail therapy with an amazon.de order (which will almost certainly be more difficult and expensive from now on) and some second-hand Knizias. Really need to stop buying >2p games until I can play them now, I don't like having a 'shelf of shame' in double figures.
Best new-to-me: lots of good ones but not a real stand-out. Marrakech is cute on BGA and even cuter in real life.
