Obligatory 2018 25x5 Challenge Post Part VIII – August 2018

Another month has come and gone and it’s time to check in on my challenges for 2018!  Of the four that I’ve set for myself I’m doing quite well (or completed) three of them but the 25 different games played 5 different times isn’t going as well!  Enough preamble, let’s see what the numbers say!

As you can see, Gen Con 2018 game me a ton of new-to-me plays thus bumping me way over my challenge in that area.  I’ve also completed the 100 unique games played during the year and still have a few months left!  I haven’t yet finished my goal of over 500 plays for the year but that should either be knocked off this month or the one after.  I am somewhat at the point that I doubt I’ll be able to hit my 25x5 goal but we’ll see!  Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed.  Until next time, game on!
