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

What the hell?, I'll play:

1) X-wing Epic or scenarios ( each play is either at least 300 points OR a scenario to count )
( 8 epic 5 missions) 13/10
2) Innovation
(10 can't seem to win against my wife) 10/10
3) Battlestations (I've had this game for five years and I its only been played twice... is this the year?)
(0)
4) Twilight Struggle
(1 March 18th even won!) 1/10
5) Spartacus
(1) 2/10
6) Space Alert (thinking of teaching the kids)
(0)
7) Trains
(28 reached the goal in January!) 29/10
8) Earth Reborn (not bloodly likely... but I can dream)
(1/10 finally got a game in at the end of November!)
9) Monopoly (that's right--- Monopoly. The kids have discovered it)
(1/10)
10) Command and Colors
(1) 1/10
11) Hera and Zeus (my 13 year all of a sudden loves this game)
(13 plays) 13/10

For a couple of these, they've been sitting on the shelf untouched for too long. For Churchill, I just itch to play it all of the damn time

1. COIN Series (Fire in the Lake/Liberty or Death/Distant Plain) (13/10)
First 4 player game of A Distant Plain. Great game!
2. Churchill (14/10) Win or lose, I have the most fun with Stalin
3. Maria/Friedrich (8/10) Prussia 0-2, France 1-0, Austria 4-1.
4. Game of Thrones (1/10)
5. Study in Emerald (9/10)
6. 1714: Case for the Catalans (2/10)
7. Napoleon's Triumph (2/10) 5/1 solid win with the French. Reinforcements were never needed
8. Magnates (6/10)
Played for the first time with three. Some slick mechanics for variability from game to game with a bit of a learning curve. I think it would be more tense with a higher player count
9. Warfighter (10/10)
12-27: Tried the East European expansion for the first time. We lost half of the squad in twenty minutes, but ultimately beat the mission. We might be getting better
10. Sekigahara(11/10)
11. Letters from Whitechapel

1) Cthulhu Wars
X 4
2) Settlers of Catan
X 6
3) Arkham Horror
X 0
4) Space Cadets: Away Missions
X 0
5) Pandemic Legacy
X 11
6) Dominion (each game session counts as one game)
X 3
7) Survive
X 0
8) Mage Knight
X 1
9) Eclipse
X 0
10) Magic the Gathering (only games played at my house count, each session counts as a game).
X 13
Alternate - King of Tokyo
X 5

I think that I will manage all whose playtime is an hour or less. It is the 2 hour plus games that will be tough (all see 2-3 plays a year normally so it is not as though they don't get played, just not as often as I like).

Shit, I'm in.

Total as of June 23 - 44 /100 a little off pace. Don't think I'm gonna get those Mice and Mystic games in. Maybe I should replace with Dead of Winter since I;m going to be trading M and M back to a friend.

If ne'er-do-wells like Black Barney and Boothwah are doing this, I guess I should too. This is especially hard for me because of doing reviews and having four or five new games a month to look at, but I'll give it a shot.

1) Cthulhu Wars (1)- Once the 2nd Kickstarter stuff hits, this shouldn't be too hard to hit.

2) Duel of Ages 2 (0)- It's time to break this sucker out and force some folks into it. Conscription!

3) Theseus: The Dark Orbit (0)- Will have the expansions at some point next year.

4) Star Wars Armada( 0)- Blew it on Clash of Cultures because I got an offer I couldn't refuse. Replacing it.

5) X-Wing (0)- $100s of dollars worth of ships that I love but don't play with nearly enough.

6) Heroes/Shadows of Normandie (5)- Just got into this, I think it's got legs. And lots of extra content.

7) Cosmic Encounter (0)- This is actually pretty easy to do, just want to make sure we make quota on it.

8) Imperial Assault (4)- This is pretty easy too, between the new Hoth thing and skirmishes.

9) Star Trek: Final Frontier (0)- It's probably going to be awesome and it'll likely be great solo, so another easy one.

10) El Grande (0)- We should be making more time to play this game.

ALT) Blood Rage (3)- I'm getting the review copy this week, it remains to be seen but I'm sticking it hear for now.

Damn, if even Michael's giving this a shot I guess I need to ante up. No way I can do all 10 but I bet some of them will be accomplished.

1. X-Wing (x10)
I played this 13 times in 2015 so this is do-able.

2. Kingdom Death: Monster (x12)
Money in the bank, no way I don't hit this.

3. Blood Rage (x9)
My only concern here is that we've been playing this a ton lately and I've now crossed 10 plays, group might want a break.

4. Mercs: Recon (x6)

5. Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower (x1)

6. Red Meridian (x19)
This is a prototype I'm working on. Again, maybe cheating but I'm using this to help motivate me. I have too much shit going on now (reviews/podcast) and need to force myself to work on designs. This one could be something special in a way my other games haven't been.

7. Wiz-War (x4)
We play this about 5 times a year. Likely not going to hit 10 but worth a shot.

8. Forbidden Stars (x5)
Going to be hard, but still.

9. Codenames (x27)
I'll make this a x30 challenge since it's a short game. Would like to play it a bunch more though.

10. Cthulhu Wars (x7)

Aight I'll give it a shot.

1) Battlelore: Second Edition (0) - I recently acquired this and I'm looking to dive in. Ten plays should be very doable.

2) Space Cadets: Away Missions (0) - Ideally this one will get into double digit plays as well...wanna play through all the missions.

3) Talisman / Relic (0) - I'll easily hit ten plus plays for this. I'm planning on reviewing everything for this game/system so it's gonna hit the table ALOT.

4) Cadwallon: City of Thieves (0) - I wanna get this one back to the table. I think it's criminally underrated.

5) Risk: Star Wars (0) - With the new movie coming out this and Imperial Assault are going to get a workout.

6) Kaosball (0) - I've read the rules and this one looks like a blast. I should be able to play the heck out of it.

7) Forbidden Stars (0) - This will be tough, but I hope it happens. LOVE LOVE LOVE this game.

8) Spector Ops (0) - Hidden movement style games are easy to get to the table and I've got high hopes for this one.

9) Middle Earth Quest (0) - Gonna go back and check this one out. Not sure it will be good enough to play ten times. We will see.

10) DungeonQuest (0) - This is my wife's favorite so in theory ten or more plays should happen.

Alt) DDAS Temple of Elemental Evil (0) - Need to play through the campaign of this one.

Alt 2) Blood Bowl: Team Manager (0) - I waffled between this and Kaosball. This is too good of a game to leave on the shelf all year though.

Clearly I have one foot planted firmly in the land of miniatures gaming.

1. Bolt Action
Gotta get them painted first, I have the american starter set assembled and primed and ready to go.
2. Malifaux
Gremlins! Gonna try to do the campaign setting this Spring.
3. Kings of War
GW has finally learned there is a straw that breaks the camel's back. I think this one might be hard to pull off as I'm the only one excited about it in my area.
4. Robo Rally
Always loved this, have two full copies of the original with 2X all expansions, and a copy of the new edition. It's time to play this or cut it loose.
5. Civilisation.
by FFG bought this and it's been sitting for years.
6. Specter ops
Probably the easiest to accomplish, game is much lighter then most of these.
7. Wiz War
I haven't played since the expansion arrived.
8. Dune
Been waiting forever to play this, finally bought off Ebay, now it just sits since last Winter.
9 Duel of Ages 2
Started re-learning the rules last night
10. Forbidden Stars
Typical story for a game purchase for me: couldn't wait for this to come out then never play it.One player in my group had a bad experience in our only play, now he torpedoes it every time it come up.
Alternate: Dungeon crawl or a new game from the holidays.Probably Dungeon Saga or Fury of Dracula 3rd Ed.

2. Xwing
3. Arena of the Planeswalker

I know I will play Crossbows and Catapults and Carroms atleast 10 times, so took them out of the running. Heck I played C&C three times last weekend.
