Tracking Plays

Hello again!  Long time no see!

There's some great apps out there for tracking board game plays and wins, but for my own personal purposes, I decided to create this spreadsheet to track the plays and wins of the games within my own gaming group here in Eugene, OR.  I'm sure that it will be a constant work in progress, but being the data junkie I am, I look forward to keeping it updated.

I decided to create this spreadsheet on the advice of my friend Becky.  I was saying how bummed I am to see so many of my games sitting on the shelf unplayed.  Apparently there are some people in the Reddit community who have made it their goal to play all of their games during a one year period.  I loved this, and as a group we decided to make it a reality.

In addition to tracking plays and checking off the list of games as we try frantically play them all, I think the spreadsheet will really help me to decide if and when I want to sell games online or in a gamer garage sale.  There's always the "I didn't like this game" reason for selling it, but it takes a little extra to really say, "Wow, I guess I never play that game.  Do I want to play it?  Should I try to incorporate it more in the rotation?  Or, is it just time for that game to move on to its next happy owner?"

Coming up (if I don't fall off of writing this again), I am hoping to be making an insert for my favorite game, Blood Rage, as well as writing a few more reviews and recaps of other games.  I've also got a cyberpunk RPG in the works, so stay tuned for a thread dedicated to that and our play-throughs!

Until then!
