It made me laugh. I had to post it.
Also, it looks like it could be a interesting game.  :lol

I assume Matt is the 250 pledge...

I will put an abbreviated version up in early October. I have played 27 different games since then with one nickel, Roll for the Galaxy (6 plays) and one dime, Sentinels of the Multiverse (10 Plays). 7 of the games are on the ToonCon schedule, 4 were Wallace games and 2 were Knizia.

So, in the last month, I have played an assortment of games, and [resent them, in quantity of plays:
No Thanks! - quick playing filler that I use for playing at the end of the night or bridging between games. I like it, and have liked it since Jasen taught it to me (8 years ago!). 3 plays, 2 at the library, one at Woods.

Bohnanza - easily Uwe Rosenberg's best game, highly interactive, highly competitive and highly fun. 2 plays, one at the library, one at Woods.

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set - We have started the giants or ogre scenarios, it is a reasonably good game. 2 plays, both at home.

7 Wonders - Easy to teach and filler with a little crunchiness. 1 play at Woods

Castle Dice - Light dice rolling and WP game, not bad, one play at home

High Frontier - and here it is again, it seems to be a favourite here, and I may never get a 4X game back on the schedule, one play at home.

Ingenious - my favourite Knizia, I taught it at Woods and one of the players loved it (she also won).

Love Letter: Batman - light quick filler, I taught it a Carlyle King Library. One play

Power Grid - Oh look, another play for this, I taught it by request at Woods, and I think I may be teaching it tonight.

Princes of the Renaissance - One play of Wallace's classic, I like it, we played it pretty quickly but it went well. We played at home.

Sentinels of the Multiverse Just one play of Matt's favourite game, we played it Saturday night while waiting for the last two people to show up for GURPS

Tinner's Trail - One play last week, a mining game from Wallace.

VITICULTURE x3
I am really enjoying this game. I ended up backing this on Kickstarter along with the Tuscany expansion. The components are beautiful, the game is very thematic, and the game play is engaging. This game will get a decent amount of table time.

One of the few WP games I will play, I originally bought it for the theme, but kept it because it is a good game.

Since it is apparently my turn...
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set - 5 plays, fun light dungeon crawl card game with hand management, we have finished the Skinsaw adventures and are starting on the Giants one in a couple of weeks.

The rest are one play each
Age of Steam - Yes, I lose, alot, but I enjoy the cut throat aspect of this game every time I play.

Catan - played with Cities & Knights, Fisherman, the deck, still a subpar game. I know there are people that love it, I am not one.

High Frontier - we used some of the modules (Support mainly) and it took us 3.5 hours for a three player game, and I finished last, but I still want to play it again (6th play in 16 months).

Because I always forget until Ryan posts here, these are mine, not including tonight.

Command & Colors: Ancients - 2 plays against Jason, currently the best of the C&C games.

Onward to Venus - Martin Wallace's SF game based on Greg Broadmore's graphic novels, fun with an different
looking "board", a little combat and a little economic engine. I may never win, but I do like
playing it. 2 plays

For Sale - I taught this at Woods Alehouse, great filler. 1 Play

Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean - Only 1 play, I am interested in it, but the sea hazards are brutal!

San Juan - 1 play, just like Puerto Rico, only better!

It says game so you kickstart it? Now you have 30 copies of Exploding Kittens coming?

I love the Commands & Colours series, so when a WWI game came onto Kickstarter I backed it.

They have a limited amount of "early backer deals" and then the price goes up to £59.00 from £49.00:
