F:AT's 2016 10 x 10 Quest to Kill the Cult: TALK THREAD

At this point I may as well try to be the only guy that pulls off 0/100

Here's my tally so far:
1. Arkham Horror (1x)
2. Eclipse (3x)
3. Space Cadets: Away Missions (17x) - OBJECTIVE REACHED May 24
4. D&D adventure system (Castle Ravenloft et.al.) (6xCR; 4xWoA) - OBJECTIVE REACHED March 3rd
5. Descent 2nd ed. (2x)
6. Archipelago (6x)
7. High Frontier (0x)
8. Cosmic Encounter (0x)
9. Spartacus (3x)
10. Death Angel (2x)
Alternate
11. Merchants & Marauders (3x)


Still waiting for the new edition of High Frontier, but instead I've easily played 10 games of Leaving Earth, and expect this to double by the end of the year with the new expansion.
I should reach 10 with Descent RTL and I could always solo Death Angel and Archipelago pretty easily to 10 games - still never managed to bring Archipelago to the table - the teaching/learning hurdle is huge.
Arkham, Spartacus, M&M and Eclipse are all pretty long games which I don't expect to play 10 times each, probably more likely 5-6 times, which is still pretty good.
What makes it kind of hard to reach as well is that you don't want to be too pushy on others just to reach 10 plays, it happens more organically. If we're in the mood, then sure we'll play it. It also depends on the number of players in any given week, I wouldn't play Eclipse or Spartacus with 3, but M&M sure. Cosmic sits sadly unplayed.

This is a lot tougher since moving from my old place.My game group has been reduced down to two of us. I look to be on track to complete SC:AM, the others, notsomuch.

Surely some sort of festival of gaming would help you to boost those numbers Doc, he said altruistically.

i didn't officially sign up for the 10x10 challenge, but there are a number of my games that I've played 10+ times in the past year:

Triumph and Tragedy (15+) - my major accomplishment given how long this is
Legendary (various incarnations: regular Marvel + a billion expansions, Villains, Alien, etc.)
DC Deck-Building (various, including Crisis coop expansions and Rivals)
Pandemic Legacy (14+ and still losing badly)
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (16+, halfway through Wrath of the Righteous campaign)
D&D Temple of Elemental Evil (12+, full campaign)
Codenames - not into party games but really like this one
Welcome to the Dungeon - great filler, unexpected local hit
Elder Sign - went through all expansions multiple times
Star Wars Risk - short, silly, and great
Xenon Profiteer - unique deck-builder
Evolution - Flight expansion improves an already stellar game

P.S. It's difficult to play 100 games in a year, period, let alone the same 10 games 10 times.

Edit: Also Space Cadets: Away Missions, which is really fun. Dan and Al - great job! We just finished the Sleeper Ship scenario, with some scenario repeats due to horrific losses.

As a side note, the only other wargames that I've played over a dozen times (total, not just in one year) are Julius Caesar, Hammer of the Scots, Napoleon's Triumph, and the Napoleon 20 games. So T&T made a really big impression on us.

Yup, you pretty much need to play any 2 of those 10 games every week for a year.

1. Talisman
2. Xwing
3. Arena of the Planeswalker
4. Ogre/GEV
5. Defenders of the Realm
6. The Awful Green Things From Outer Space
7. Twixt
8. Wizwar
9. Patton's Best
10. Armor Attacks
Alt 1 - The Fantasy Trip
Alt 2 - Memoir 44

Five down, Five to Go. I have an old wargaming friend coming to stay for a week for work, I figure we will play through a Memoir 44 Campaign, then it is back to Pattons Best for me. My men will make it out alive, atleast once.

Well done!!

True, Almalik, very true. Maybe another Fest of Trash is in order. With my new digs I'm going to have to figure out how to do it also, I'm gonna miss the ol' centre house.

I sure wish I traveled like I used to, sometimes. All the frequent flyer miles would allow me to hop on a plane and come out for free.

I'd be doing better if I had a clearer view of what games I'd get to play this year. Already had six sessions with 1775 (not listed) and five of Chaos in the Old World- just didn't expect to be able to play it as often, but there have been some new players at the Saturday group who are into DoaM style games. I've passed 10 games of Shadows of Brimstone easily, though that's also kind of cheat with buying new stuff for it. Zombicide (three flavours) must be past 10 by now also.

Still, the list is working as intended, even if the specifics have gone awry.

1. Talisman
2. Xwing
3. Arena of the Planeswalker
4. Ogre/GEV
5. Defenders of the Realm
6. The Awful Green Things From Outer Space
7. Twixt
8. Wizwar
9. Patton's Best
10. Armor Attacks
Alt 1 - The Fantasy Trip
Alt 2 - Memoir 44

Seven down, three to go. I got close to winning a mission in Pattons Best once. Despite how well I did in Armor Attacks, I am apparently not a good tank commander. I prefer to party with arty.
