As a family, we play a lot of games. Starting back sometime in 2012, Adam began tracking our plays to keep tally not only of what games we played, but who won, lost, and what the scores were. Originally, we did this by writing on the bottom of the game box top. (did you just gasp??) I loved the little character it gave to our favorite games but eventually we decided that this wasn’t the best solution to us.
Not only did it lower the resale value of the game if we chose to find it a new home, but it also didn’t meet the spreadsheet desire of my stat loving husband. After writing on the box tops, it wasn’t enough to know who won — he wanted to know ev.er.y.thing. What was each person’s win percentage? How often did we play this game? Which cards did we use? (Think Marvel Legendary tracking – an invaluable step for our favorite game) What percentage of new to old games did we play this year?
