Dorfromatik (14) and Sleeping Gods (12) are my most played games… BUT really, most played should go to UNO Jr (100+) and Sequence for Kids (48) 🎉
Most played this year is Railroad ink at 231 Times. Terraforming Mars at 31 :p
lol you don’t want to know my numbers on bga lol
I sincerely thought about writing a Boop strategy guide after we played all those games. 😆
And OMG, I’ve played 7 Wonders Architects 207 times this year. 😮
Incredible 😂 My most played game was numbsters at 33 times
My most played this year: Blood OT Clocktower (25), then games I designed, then Phantom Ink (11). Everything else is 6 or less.
But, how many Different games? For me, 179, all in person.
My most played games are:
1. My City: Roll & Build (22)
2. Railroad Ink (18)
3. Draft & Write Records (12)
Knarr (12)
5. Sagani (9)
6. Fliptown (8)
Seaside (8)
8. Agueda: City of Umbrellas (7)
Aqua: Biodiversity in the Ocean (7)
Welcome To… (7)

Hope I can complete the 10 x 10 challenge this year.
#1. Ark Nova – 327
#2. Wingspan – 52
#3. Tapestry – 46
She probably doesn't get so many plays because of learning games.
Remember when Silver Bullet was your #1 most played game? Pepperidge Farm remembers…
My #1 in person game is Marvel Champions with 22, the #2 in person is Star Wars Deck Building at 6
My #1 BGA is 7 Wonders Duel which I just learned in September? I was just mainlining real time games of it. And #2 BGA is Sea Salt Paper with 35 plays, I like to real time that one too but also play some turn based of it. (It feels incredibly slow though after you've played it real time.)
Fun video as always!
My most played games this far:
1. Draft & Write Records (65)
2. Railroad ink (35)
3. Super Mega Lucky Box (35)
4. Wingspan (19)
5. boop (17)
6. Cartographers (17)
7. My City: Roll and Build (17)
8. Three Sisters (16)
9. Captain Flip (15)
10. Forest Shuffle (14)
Mostly quick games I play solo on BGA!
Can you play Dune and/or Root asynchronously on the Steam apps?
I’m at 582 bga plays so far this year!
Huge agree, Captain Flip is a perfect BGA game. I’ve only played on BGA but hit like 20+ plays lol. Sea, Salt, and Paper is the only game I’ve played more. Off to invite you both to a few 😅
I like BGA, but there's no way I can keep up with my turns if I'm not on my computer… I find it so hard to take my turns on my phone 😢
My top 10!
T10. Ark Nova/Wayfarer of the South Tigris (11)
9. Root (12)
T6. Tapestry/Sea Salt & Paper/Expeditions (13)
5. It’s a Wonderful World (14)
4. Lost Ruins of Arnak (19)
3. Kites (20)
2. Res Arcana (22)
1. Welcome To… (27)
I am usually in 300+ games at a time on BGA and I still have to wait for people to take turns.
I have 128 plays of nana… lol
Most of my plays are light little solo games to relax. I played 53 unique games this year, mostly solo. I think I'll try to set a goal for next year! Maybe try for 60.
I'm not including anything with 3 or fewer plays because there are a billion tied for 9th and 10th place, but honorable mention to Dungeons, Dice, and Danger! Also been playing more chess recently but haven't tracked those games.
8. Beacon Patrol, Farkle, Pentaquest (4)
7. A Gentle Rain, La Granja, Illiterati, Krypto (5)
6. Codenames/Duet (6)
5. Qawale (7)
4. Spots! (10)
3. Next Station Paris (26)
2. Bandido/Bandida (55 — this surprised me)
1. Troyes Dice (100!)
Fun video! How many physical plays did you have this year?
Top 5 for the year so far:
• Castles of Burgandy (27 plays)
• Harmonies (18 plays)
• Nucleum (16 plays) – that one’s all face to face
• Terraforming mars (14 plays + 1 in progress)
• Agricola (10 plays)
#1 Sea Salt and Paper 102, #2 Catan 82 ( all in person), #3 Ticket to Ride 82, #4 Tapestry 75, #5 Azul 62
I love playing with others on BGA, but I am also super excited that they have implemented solo modes for games like Ark Nova, Darwin’s Journey, Harmonies, etc. The solo mode is so perfect for when I want to play real-time, but also know I might get distracted during play and don’t want to play against someone. I played sooooo many solo games of those three I mentioned recently. A Fest for Odin and other solo ones on there are also really fun. BGA is so great,
Awww Love that Jeff plays patchwork with Naveen ! So awesome
Yeah! FINAL GIRL! I appreciate your playthroughs. I put them on when I play so we can play together! Yay solo games !,
Play a bit on BGA only now, so my top 5 are all in person plays this year:
1. Tainted Grail FoA + KoR 64
2. Dune Imperium Uprising 46
3. ISS Vanguard 41
4. GH Buttons & Bugs 22
5. DC Deck Building Game (Only since Sept 26th) 18
When you play Res Arcana in person, do you add in any expansions? I just purchased Duo and looking forward to learning the game.
I've logged 611 plays this year (128 different games)–99% in person.
#1 & #2 Carcassonne & Dutch Blitz (33 plays)
#3 Captain Flip (31 plays)
#4 Radlands (23 plays)
#5 Cascadia (18 plays)
#6 Dorfromantik (17 plays)
#7 Faraway (16 plays)
#8 Splendor Duel (15 plays)
#9 & #10 Unmatched & Project L (14 plays)
#11 & #12 Harmonies & Spots (13 plays)
The BYPNav story was funny, but actually highlights a legitimate issue of "presumed familiarity" that I would argue is worse for Hobby Content Creators than it is for "traditional" celebrities. Talking about how you deal with stuff like that could make for an interesting video topic.
I just looked and my most physical plays this year is A Gentle Rain with 37 and most total is Harmonies with 43 (36 without BGA). So, I'm nowhere near as high as Jeff but I'm still higher than Jamie. Not bad. I probably also have a smaller total games played than both of them.
#1 Marvel United 27 plays
#2 Dorfromantik 18 plays
#3 Sky Team 16 plays
I am at 112 different games so far this year.
Most played games: Potato Man, My City Roll and Build, Marvel United, Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion, Ticket to Ride San Francisco, Sea Salt and Paper, The Fox Experiment, Heat, Unsettled and Boop. Everything is really close with 7-10 plays each.
Fun topic, you made me look up my totals for 2024 thus far:
Lost Ruins of Arnak: 157 games
Isle of Trains: All Aboard: 109 games
Ark Nova: 96 games
7 Wonders Duel: 60 games
Kingdomino: 54 games
Ticket to Ride: 43 games
Gizmos: 32 games
Splendor: 27 games
Railroad Ink: 25 games
boop/Castle Combo.: 23 games
Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization would crack my Top 10 online plays if I counted the games I played on the app.
I need to learn Res Arcana. I also have tried Great Western Trail though I'm still terrible at that one.
