Question of the Month: June

Each blog entry for the next week will answer the following question, provided by Tim, who gets first crack at it: "Do you prefer learning new games frequently - but only playing each game once or twice - or playing a smaller set of games several times each?"

Those of you playing from home can use this entry to post your own answers!

    I love seeing how new games work and as a result, I tend to play a game once or twice and then move on to the next game. It's not that I'm against playing a game many times, but there are so many other on my shelf awaiting exploration...

    I prefer not to play a game just once or twice and then move on and not play it again (unless it is a steaming pile of dragon's doo doo of course or Set).

    There are many many games that playing just once or twice doesn't give you the opportunity of discovering the full depth of the game, to try different options or strategies. Or even give you a chance at winning ;-)

    I like to replay game and explore the options and play them against different people who may force me to try new strategies.

    I also like to play and explore new games, but not at the expense of old games.
