It's Still Personal: Mark's Five & Dime Games for 2022

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 2022).

As always, I include only face-to-face games and games played with human opponents over apps/online. What that means is that games that I play only solo via an app or website (examples: Welcome To..., Imperial Settlers: Roll & Write) are not counted. (Both of those would be dimes if I did.)

Games with an asterisk [*] were on my Five & Dime list last year, games with two asterisks [**] have been on my list for the past two years, games with three asterisks [***] have been there for three years, games with four asterisks [****] have been there for 4 years, games with a plus [+] have been there 5 years, games with a plus and an asterisk [+*] have been there 6 years, games with a plus and two asterisks [+**] have been there 7 years, games with a plus and three asterisks [+***] have been there 8 years, games with a plus and four asterisks [+****] have been there for the past 9 years, games with two plusses [++] have been there (wait for it) a decade, and games with two plusses & an asterisk [++*] have been there eleven years. And, believe it or not, there's actually one game that has been on this list for 12 years [++**].

After All These Years

These are games that fell off the list... after years of repeated play. I felt compelled to say a few words at their passing.

• Impact: Battle of Elements
• Less time with teenagers leads to less Impact/Strike. Sigh.
• Wurfel Bohnanza 
• My main opponents (my sons) found other games they wanted to play. It'll be back.
