We all 'talk the talk' but how many games do you average in a year?

On a recent discussion on WD3, the enemy Time seems to limit a lot of us:

So in the last 12 months:

1. 0 games

2. 1-10

3. 11-25

4. More than 25

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP28 Jun 2016 6:36 p.m. PST

3. 11 – 25; average one or two a month

My goal is 4 (retirement goal)

cmdr kevin28 Jun 2016 6:53 p.m. PST

A weekly club helps, so more than 25.

Games or gaming sessions? We might play a two different full-table scenarios on a (monthly) game day … or several half-table short skirmishes (usually linked to a larger campaign).

Games … around 40, or about 3/month.

Pictors Studio28 Jun 2016 7:02 p.m. PST

More than 25. Probably more than 25 games of AoS alone at this point.

Winston Smith28 Jun 2016 7:13 p.m. PST

4. Every other week I play on two groups. Saturdaybis the "club game" and Sunday the FoW game.
Not quite 52, because of the weekends lost for various reasons, but still good.

2. unless you add RPG sessions

Garand28 Jun 2016 7:30 p.m. PST

0. But I've been having health issues that keep me from the gaming table. Still do RPGs more regularly (less crouching over a table reaching for figures…I have back issues I'm getting worked on..)

3. I retire in 9 months but the number will still likely be 3 per month at best.

D6 Junkie28 Jun 2016 7:45 p.m. PST

25+
I'm averaging 4 games a month at the moment

Several gaming clubs/store-events. And we play a fair number of short games — X-WIng and DBA. So, probably 15-25/month.
Applying more math = 180-300/year. That's the miniatures games.

Boardgames, maybe 15 a month.

Calico Bill28 Jun 2016 8:30 p.m. PST

4. I get in over 150 games a year. Over half of that is Epic Armageddon, the rest double battles of One Hour Wargames, Big Battle DBA, or something similar. Yeah, I'm retired :- )

21eRegt28 Jun 2016 8:37 p.m. PST

Easily 4.

Dust Warrior28 Jun 2016 9:49 p.m. PST

Easily 4. Club once a week so roughly 50 miniature games there (normally one a session but X-Wing, Kings of War, etc. can get a couple of plays in).

Add boardgaming and the fact we play at lunch at work adds about another 220 sessions a year. Of those some are multiple plays per lunch (Star Realms, Dominion, Love Letter, etc.)

And the very few ones I get to play at home with friends or children.

TMPWargamerabbit28 Jun 2016 10:35 p.m. PST

Number three for this rabbit. 2 per month is my best average.

Cyrus the Great28 Jun 2016 10:36 p.m. PST

4.

Whirlwind28 Jun 2016 10:54 p.m. PST

4, just.

Martin Rapier28 Jun 2016 10:56 p.m. PST

I'm in a club, so more than 25.

Allowing for holidays, but adding in the odd weekend gaming event, it is more like 50.

steamingdave4728 Jun 2016 11:52 p.m. PST

Averaging around 3 to 4 a month, so well over 25 a year.

Green Tiger29 Jun 2016 2:28 a.m. PST

4 – I play with friends about twice a month and solo several times a year (in a good year).

Personal logo x42brown Supporting Member of TMP29 Jun 2016 3:10 a.m. PST

Averaging better than 1 a week say 70ish in a year

x42

Mute Bystander29 Jun 2016 3:27 a.m. PST

2 to 3 range.

Dynaman878929 Jun 2016 4:37 a.m. PST

3 (11 to 25). I include board war gaming in that total since they are the same hobby to me.

Grelber29 Jun 2016 4:41 a.m. PST

Being in a club that meets more or less weekly helps: so, over 25 definitely.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP29 Jun 2016 5:01 a.m. PST

YTD = 13 so I'll say 20-26 games a year.

John the Greater29 Jun 2016 6:15 a.m. PST

About one per month with my usual group. Add in conventions and we are up to 18-20.

ashauace697029 Jun 2016 6:25 a.m. PST

Well over 25
Usuallg 2a week

vtsaogames29 Jun 2016 6:43 a.m. PST

18 gaming sessions so far, not counting a few board games.
So that's 30-40 per year for our club.

coryfromMissoula29 Jun 2016 7:17 a.m. PST

Around 50, about 1 a week, miss a few weeks but occasionally get in two or three.

Norman D Landings29 Jun 2016 10:33 a.m. PST

Once a week. I skip the odd week, but occasional gaming weekends make up for it.

The opportunity is there for four games a week, but there's really no way I could spare the time. I don't think my better half would be amused, either.

4 – easily! A weekly club meet, and sometimes more than 1 game in that day!

wrgmr129 Jun 2016 1:08 p.m. PST

4) we game weekly with a few misses. So around 50.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP29 Jun 2016 1:48 p.m. PST

40+ including Convention games.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP29 Jun 2016 1:59 p.m. PST

I attended two conventions over the last 12 months and played 10 to 15 games. I don't think I've had a single game with my gaming group because I've been too busy with work.

evbates29 Jun 2016 2:32 p.m. PST

Around 50, plus several convention games.

Old Contemptibles29 Jun 2016 3:29 p.m. PST

#3 24 games more or less.

TheBeast Supporting Member of TMP30 Jun 2016 10:53 a.m. PST

Rdfraf: I know it FEELS like about that for me, but I'm sure better than double that.

Others depend on the kindness of strangers; I depend on my friends, even if I can't find the energy to wrangle a game on my own.

2. NOT nearly enough.

Personal logo Dentatus Sponsoring Member of TMP Fezian30 Jun 2016 7:28 p.m. PST

I have a regular group that meets once a week. Occasionally things come up, so 3 times/month is the average.

COL Scott ret04 Jul 2016 10:04 a.m. PST

Too few.

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2016 11:34 a.m. PST

Twelve in the last 12 months.

Dashetal05 Jul 2016 4:00 p.m. PST

About 75 in the last 12 months

Mooseworks817 Jul 2016 11:58 a.m. PST

Only 11 so far in 2016. Played 34 last year.
