Probably the slowest year for board games I've had since I started tracking (lemmy.world)

2025 was a real kick in the butt so I just didn't have as much time for games, plus I've been playing more 40k in general which I always waffle on if I should include in here or not.

My group's made some good progress on Frosthaven and we're hoping to actually complete it next year, and another group and I finished Clank 2 (and also finished Clank Legacy 1 finally! But it doesn't show on here because my wife and I had a single game left, but the couple we play with moved so it took over a year to get that last game in).

We also went to Japan this year, which ruled, and Let's Go To Japan has been a blast to play post that trip.

What have you all been playing this year???

what did you use to track your plays? I still haven't settled on a nice way to do so

    The screenshot is from BGStats. It’s fantastic and well worth the (low) price.

    Here’s mine, although I’ll be playing more games tonight.

    An app called BG Stats, and I dig it. Very cost cost of entry and then the only ongoing monetization is for stuff like advanced stats and cloud sync, which I sign up to because I like the product and want him to keep developing, not even because I use that stuff.

    Also a very slow year for me.

    Nice line-up of games in here! I keep meaning to get back to StS; I'm halfway through a run with a friend and I really should just reset it and play with other folks as it's been over a year now haha

    I mean, I dunno.

    It's fun, but there's a bit too much accounting for my taste. I like the multiplayer aspect, but it's slower than the PC version, and it's missing a lot of content.

    And twice we played it, we finished it with absolute ease.

    Mine.

    I'm not sure why Can't Stop is on there as I've only played it on Yucata and it hasn't been on there for a few years. Maybe some missing plays imported and have ended up being attributed to this year.

    Was not the best year for boardgames here, either. But we still had fun. Fewer big games and more of the silly shorter ones in '25.

    Ooo a full Charterstone play through, nice! That had some fun surprises each game, and really set the minimum bar for me with legacy games where I want something new every time we play.
