Five & Dime List - Q1/2006

Since the beginning of 2006 I have made it a habit to track all games I have played on BGG. It's simply a great feature of the Geek. So far, there are no Dimes in the list. Had someone asked me three months ago whether there would be some Dimes on the list I would have proclaimed: 100% yes. As it turns out - there are quite a few Fives and several others which got really close.

So here is Naturelich's Official Five & Dime List for the first quarter of 2006 with comments where appropriate.

Dimes
Currently none.

Fives

  • Puerto Rico (6): Played this game for the first time in this quarter. Can you believe it? And, yes, it's really good!

  • Ticket to Ride (5): Continuously popular. The entire TtR family...

  • Ticket to Ride Europe (5): ...is something I cannot resist. And with the addition of...

  • Ticket to Ride - Märklin Edition (5): ...it has even become worse. Projected to be a Dime by year-end.

  • Memoir'44 (5): Enthusiasm for this game started last year but continues to be strong in 2006.

Follow-Ups

  • Die Dolmengötter (4): I really hate this game not being in the Fives

  • Jenga (4): All in one evening, but fun...

  • Thurn und Taxis (4): Extremely promising candidate for one of the first Dimes before the end of Q2

Recurring

  • Carcassonne (1): Yep, it's still on the list. Actually played with the first two expansions...

  • Raub Ritter (1): Simple and fun.

  • Mah-Jongg (2): Looooong but fun.

  • Aqua Romana (1): Too complicated for regular play

  • Bohnanza (1): What can I say? Played this one in conjunction with High Bohn.

  • Scrabble (1): Great filler

First plays

  • Caylus (1): Huge urge to play again.

  • La Città (1): dito

  • Timbuktu (1): Maybe I'll play this again.

  • The Sudoku Game (1): Works best as a solo game

  • A Game of Thrones (1): Huge urge to play again

Predicted to be played never, never again

  • Confusion: Fun, but will probably not see light again...
