Hey, campers... I may have stopped collecting the Five & Dime stats for everyone else - but I haven't stopped collecting my own!
Here's my own personal Five & Dime list (the games I played 5+ and 10+ times in 2017).
As always, I include only face-to-face games and games played with human opponents over apps/online.

After All These Years
These are game that fell off the list... after years of repeated play. I felt compelled to say a few words at their passing.
- The City ****
- Mostly replaced by Jump Drive... but it still comes out every once in a while.
- Fast Food Franchise ****
- Missed making the list by one play - it'll be back.
- Machi Koro **
- The bloom is finally off the rose on this one. I need to strip it back to the base box - the expansions have more variety but make it less fun to play.
- Catan *
- It is a fight every year now to get this to the table - I still love the game, but there are a couple of folks in my gaming group who detest it and my oldest son won't touch it with a ten foot pole. Sigh.
- Pandemic Legacy (Season One) *
- We finished Season One - so no surprise this disappeared.
- GUBS: A Game of Wit & Luck *
- My youngest son still loves this game - it could make a return as it's a good 15-20 luckfest he will play before calling it a night.
- Can't Stop **
- This will come back... it always does.

Hey, Pastor Guy, it's great to read about your spiritual values and commitment. May I speak frankly and say that some board games have elements that have, well, how shall I say it... Well, there are elements that are dark. There is one in particular that I have questions about: One Night Ultimate Werewolf. Some of our grandkids were playing it today, my introduction to the game. Of course this one game is just the tip of an iceberg of games that could be questioned. Could we strike up a conversation on this, either here or more privately by e-mail?
