Well, the final month in my “Mission Improbable” to get my unplayed games list down to below 20 saw me get down to a reasonably respectable 47:
2Â new games acquired (Forbidden Island and Dragon Parade);
10Â games no longer unplayed (Drachenherz, Die Speicherstadt, Samarkand: Routes to Riches, Forbidden Island, Dragon Parade, Bohnkick, Wie Hund und Katz, Carcassonne: Die Burg, Elefant im Pozellenladen and Sumeria);
13Â games sold (Die Tafelrunde, Gods, Frankenstein, Banditos, Bohnroschen, Ohne Furcht und Adel: Die Dunklen Lande, Rotundo, Bayon, Dia de Los Muertos, Atta Ants, Richelieu, X-Net and The Penguin Ultimatum).
So, not a bad attempt overall and I am going to continue to eat into the remaining titles on the list. However, for the statisticians among you, the annual reconciliation ended up as:
120 unplayed at start of period
+59 new games acquired
-112 played for first time
-20 unplayed games sold without being played, leaving
47 unplayed at end of periodÂ
