The Six by Six Challenge 2017

[Roy]

I stumbled upon an interesting blog post earlier today. The subject of which was a 2017 gaming challenge where the participants only have to play games to take part (I know, easier said than done!)

Here is the link to the blog post

Here are the Rules / stipulations, which basically provide the explanation as well. It keeps talking about blogs, as it belongs to a blog, but, obviously, it could be done through various other forms of social media.   



The Six by Six Challenge 2017

(i) Select a list of Six games. These can be miniature, card, board or role-playing games. You may change entries on the list during the year, but game-plays for games you drop should no longer count towards the challenge.

(ii) To start the challenge, post the link to your blog.

(iii) You commit to play each of  your six chosen games at least six times during the course of 2017.

(iv) When you play a game in your challenge list, record the play in your blog. This record can range from a one line acknowledgment to a full blow-by-blow report.

(v) If you've done it right, at the end of the year you should have at least thirty-six game sessions recorded.



I quite like the idea, and would love to actually play 36 games in a year! I doubt I'd be able to achieve it though. I'd also struggle to make a list of 6 games that I've got stuff for - unless I included a deck of cards to play Snap!

I have to think about it ...  :-

(good idea )

Nice plan, but if I get six games in total it'll be a miracle!

I'm not sure I really get the idea of this 'challenge'. As a group we tend to stick with a few rules / periods and play those a fair bit, with occasional games of other things. Committing to 6 different rules for a year would feel that we would be spreading our selves rather thin.

I understand that this is just an optional idea to help get people gaming, but it doesn't really work for me.
