The start of a new year always brings me hope that I will
improve how well I do playing games.
Unfortunately this year like many years that hope is dashed by the end
of January as my expectations for doing better at playing board games does not
intersect with reality.
January
Now that the holiday season is over, I was able to get back
into the groove of attending the events I regularly go to.
In December I was able to play 20 games at 8 events for an average
of 2.5 games per event. I would prefer
to be at 3 games per event but I have been playing longer games at week night
events so that has kept my average down.
I won 4 games in January compared to the 3 that I won in
December. I came in second four times, third
seven times, and fourth five times. My
average standing from January was 2.68 compared to the 2.25 I had in December.
I played four games more than once in January: Organic Soup, Russian Railroads, Wildcatters,
and Yunnan.
I played four games for the first time in January: Coal Baron, Coney Island, Euphoria, and
Yunnan.

It was not a great start to the year but not the worst. I will start up year to date tracking again
next month.
