Five & Dime 2013: Bring Out Yer Stats!
Yes, it’s that time of year again when I (Mark Jackson) ask you to submit your Five & Dime lists to me in order that I can continue to compile my completely unscientific lists & compare them to each other.
For those of you who haven’t heard the story, here’s how this all came to be…
This is Year #16… and now the Five & Dime lists have snowballed into a very interesting way to track gaming trends, albeit only in the online community of “designer” game players & collectors.
If you’d like to submit a list, please post it to the following thread on Boardgamegeek:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1096677/the-five-dime-report-2013-bring-out-yer-stats
And, if you would be so kind, strip expansions out of your list. Don’t lump a family of games together (I consider TtR: Marklin to be a stand-alone game, while TtR: Switzerland is an expansion)… and please ONLY give me your five & dime, not your whole list.
A couple of other simple rulings:
If you would be so kind as to NOT do any kind of nifty HTML/web address formatting in your posts – I just have to get rid of it so I can compile.
Finally, I love reading your comments on the various games, but they make it very hard to compile. If you want to do that, please post those comments elsewhere. Thanks!
I’ll close submissions in early February & the results will be posted later this spring in three places:
If you’re interested in not-so-ancient history, here’s a set of links for you to follow:
