January was a good month of gaming for me. I got sick, so I missed one of my Friday night game nights, but I still managed to play a bunch of games. I logged 33 game plays and got to play 3 games I've never played before. I finally won my first Star Trek Attack Wing tournament in Hilmar, and I'm in the lead with 2 months to go in the Dominion War OP.
I released my annual Top Games list, this year marking my first Top 50. If you haven't taken a look at that, please do. My sister also published her Top 25 which should give you a different opinion on things.
Just a quick list of what I actually played in January

Game Acquisitions
I received a copy of Tricks & Treats from the publisher, NAZCA Games. It was an unexpected added bonus from the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund Auction. I bought the first expansion for Escape, mostly to get the 6th player, but also for some added variety.

Closing Thoughts
I'm not sure where this blog is going to go over the next few months. I've never wanted writing for this to be a chore. I write when I have things to say and time to say them. I still love boardgames, I love playing them with awesome people. I've met a lot of amazing people through gaming. All of that being said, I want to enjoy this too, and lately I haven't. That's why I haven't posted a lot. You can see that I'm playing a lot of the same games these days, and I can't really review the same games again. There are some games I haven't reviewed that I should, like Love Letter and Escape. I'll get to those at some point.
This is by no means goodbye, but it is a potential start to the end.
