On the last night of 2007 I'm going to take a little time to reflect on my gaming over the last 12 months.
In 2007 I played 75 different board/card games face-to-face and logged a total of 182 plays. Compare this to 2006 in which I played 107 different board/card games face-to-face and logged a total of 414 plays.
My gaming has noticably reduced in 2007 and the main reason for this is because I didn't attend any game clubs as I did in 2006. I've found that with parenting responsibilities (and disrupted sleep from having a toddler in the house) I just haven't had the time or the energy to commit myself to any regular gaming group. My wife also started her own business this year and due to this I'm usually taking care of the kids on the weekends. What this has meant is that I've spent a lot more quality time gaming with my family, especially my mother and elder daughter Maddie.
So here's my list of games played in 2007. I don't log games played online - only games played face-to-face.
Scrabble was my most played game this year and my only 'dime' (a game played more than 10 times), played mostly with my mother and a couple of times with my wife. My Xmas present of 2006, Battlelore, only ended up being played 8 times (although I'm undefeated against 3 opponents). Other games I really missed playing in 2007 were the Commands and Colors series - Memoir '44, Command & Colors: Ancients and Battle Cry, none of which were played at all!
My 2008 gaming resolution will be to reduce my game collection (currently 211) to under, say, 150 quality games, and also to get some more face-to-face gaming in with other players.
Well, 2008 is almost here. Happy New Year to you!

wow, I think I should be so organized as that to log all my games....
I think you have inspired me to keep track of this in much the same way. Especially now that my wife has proposed a gaming night once a week to escape from so much TV.
so far... San Juan = 1
Hi Fraser. I've developed a habit of logging my games after they've been played on my BoardGameGeek profile. It's a great way to keep track of the games you've played.
