Most played games in the last 10 years.

I wish I had started earlier. The mobile version of BGG makes logging plays EXTREMELY easy, like 10 seconds , if that, while using a phone or tablet.

I'm not ashamed of my Codenames habit. I stand by it as an excellent game. However, what really shoots it up my ranks is that you can play it with nearly anybody. My copy is in my office at work, and it used to come out regularly.

Nothing to be ashamed with when it comes to Codenames. I'm more annoyed by the 'real meaty' games that are actually just overly bloated vegan point salads.

I don't log my plays. I also wonder if Vassal would count or not. I did a ton of Summoner Wars games on it. Even if you took those out it'd be up there. I also wonder how you'd count something like MtG? By evening? Match? Game? Some games are like 2 minutes where it's "Sol ring, signet- scoop."

Guesses, in rough order:

MtG
Summoner Wars
Heroscape (although my first plays were more than 10 years ago so it might disappear from the list in another 5!)
7 Wonders
Dominion
Race for the Galaxy
Resistance: Avalon
Codenames
Coup
Evolution? Captain Sonar? Dead of Winter? Risk Legacy? What about One Night Ultimate Werewolf? Surely I have a lot of "plays" but fewer hours spent than many other games on the list?

I'm really not sure. I was part of some game groups that really liked mixing things up, so lots of short games woudl get repeats and other wouldn't.

I don't count digital plays; not sure why. That cuts out a LOT of Ascension and other things that I play async fairly regularly. I don't do any other online gaming. Similarly, the reason I don't have 80 gajillion plays of Rummikub logged is that I don't log solo digital plays.
