I love this post. I'm actually pretty lousy at lot of the games I really enjoy playing. I've seen different player motivation grid that help identify why people play and I've noticed the games I really enjoy even when I can't seem to ever win, are the games that are highly modular with exploration and building elements. Even more so when I play them with people I love. Lately, I've been on a Wingspan kick and I've got only a 40% win rate. But it's so beautiful and relaxing to play.

Also, congratulations on your new meeple! They are lots of work, but also soooo much fun. :) Totally worth the mess and lack of sleep.

This was beautiful! I love the joy of experiencing things, sometimes new, sometimes old. I'm not great at a lot of games (MetroX for example... terrible 😅) but the fun in playing them is the playing!!
