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 2024).
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: Next Station: London, Ascension, Draft & Write Records, etc.) are not counted. (All three of those would be 50+ plays if I did.)

Games with an asterisk [*] were on my Five & Dime list last year. Each asterisk indicates another year... and each plus sign indicates five years! Believe it or not, there's actually one game that has been on this list for 14 years [++****].
If you're curious, here's the games that have been on my Five & Dime list for 5+ years
- Race for the Galaxy (14 years)
- 7 Wonders (9 years)
- Jump Drive (7 years)
- Unmatched: Batlle of Legends (5 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.
- Res Arcana
- My primary opponent graduated college and is working on a masters degree.
- Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition
- This is really about the boys not being at home any more... since I don't own this edition.
- Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition
- As much as I enjoy this mash-up of Terraforming Mars & Race for the Galaxy, I'd rather play the original board game and my game room is set up to make that easier to do.
- Trails of Tucana
- Lots of good roll/flip'n'writes out there now... this one just got crowded out this year.
