My January Gaming

 January was not much of a month for learning new games for me. Life stuff was a higher priority. (To be fair, they should be and I’m pretty sure February will be the same way) All the games I learned were little, simple games.


I learned:


Paper Pinball - Comb Clash

The Fractured Flat

Formula 1cm

The Farmer and the Deal


One thing I did do was play a variety of games. A roll-and-write, an abstract, an In Hand card game and a game about freehand drawing.


What I initially think is the strongest game of the lot is The Farmer and the Deal, although I think Formula 1cm has a lot of potential if players are willing to go that low tech. The Fractured Flat is easily the weak one of the bunch. 


However, as I noted when writing about making PnP projects in January, I’ve been focusing on games I already know and like. Which is, let’s face it, more important than learning new games.


That said, I have a stack of Roll and Writes I’d like to try out so, even though life is going to be crazy, I’ll probably be learning more games in February.
