2021 52 Games Challenge
-
The 52 Games challenge goes into its 6th year. I had a lot of fun over the years and this is submitted early for tweaking the categories with your help again. In 2020 I had a lot of fun with the #stayathome challenge which offered broader categories for daily gaming and I will copy some here, so some categories are easier than other. Nonetheless we will still have our beloved tricky prompts that ask us to think outside of the box.
I will also include various prompts asking to pick one from previous years, so we can revisit our favourite prompts from all the years before.
In order to join the challenge create an entry in the GeekList, where you can track the games played. The Challenge starts on January 1st 2021.
A few clarifications:
1) The list may be completed in any order
2) The same base game may not be used to satisfy multiple criteria.
3) You do not need to fulfil exactly one category per week. You may play games at whatever pace you want, the goal being to complete the list by December 31, 2021
If you join during the year, you may use games played prior to joining if they are from 2021
4) When you are finished, send a geekmail to me and I will add you to the hall of fame.
