What weight, if any, do you give to playing board games online (if you ever do). I had set a loose goal of playing 100 board games last year, and I made it to around 50-60. My wife and I started playing games on BGA occasionally and I didn't want to count those as games played for my list because the two experiences are just so drastically different to me. In the end, it was inconsequential and I still played a very enjoyable amount of games, but seeing your goals made me curious.
A good question! I personally count any game that I’m playing with a real person. That might be BGA, an app, or any other form. I do like the idea of tracking those plays with a specific “online” location, so you could filter those out if you’re curious about their impact.
The thing I remind myself is that it counts as a game I played if I decide it does, and the challenge is for myself. Happy playing!
(Do you mind if I include your question in next week’s newsletter?)

That's a good way of putting it! I think ultimately I didn't include them because it wasn't what I had in mind when I set the goal.
It is definitely okay to use my question though. Thanks!
