My January plays: 11 games, deep dives into Welcome to the Moon and Merchants Cove. Discovered Wayfarers and portable Numbsters.

January was slower than we would have liked, but at least we managed to get some new/unplayed games to the table.
One of the very few apps on my phone that are continuously developed and give meaningful changelogs on every update is #BGStats (it tracks my played #boardgames).
Today's update announced this:
"H-index challenge takes plays before 1970 into account."
I'm curious about the story: is that just a by-product of some library change, or are there really users tracking games for more than 55 years? 😳

My #BoardGames for January. My in-laws' kids taught me Uno Flip, I taught them Skull. #bgstats
V6.9: More Math options in score fields
You can now also multiply, divide and use parentheses to combine multiple calculations in one score field. The entire calculation is saved in the score field, so you can always view and or edit it later!
Also: new publisher avatars from Minerva Tabletop Games and Steinbock Brettspiele!

Nearly forgot about the monthly post! January flew by. Played a nice set of games this last month.
Finally got Atiwa to the table with my group. Dartmoor and Re;Act are new acquisitions that have been a lot of fun to play with my partner, and we’re excited to get the Wingspan Americas expansion soon. So You’ve Been Cursed is also really good, love a good asymmetrical game.

Our personal stats for January!
We've played a lot of small games like Tussie Mussie and most of the Minnys series!
Hier mein Januar, dank dem Spieltreffen in #herzogenrath ein sehr ergiebiger Monat, mit einer schönen Mischung aus alten und neuen Spielen. Nach einer längeren Pause kam Terraforming Mars endlich mal wieder auf den Tisch — nach wie vor ein sehr schönes Spiel. Und von den neuen Spielen hat mir Galactic Cruise am besten gefallen. #brettspiele #bgstats #boardgames
My most played games of January 2026.
Had a lot of fun rediscovering Avalon with another group. Played a lot of Nobi Nobi with my son. He is learning Mr. Jack too, not an easy game for 7yo.
Our 24th and final play. We have completed Jaws of the Lion. Our first game was Nov 12th 2023. 4 total losses over the course of the campaign. Honestly that last boss was kind of easy because we were so tanked up. He had 96 health but there were multiple rounds where more than one person dealt over 10 damage.
Won #GloomhavenJawsoftheLion on 2026-02-01 with 4 players #bgstats
Ja, doch. War ein okayer Monat. Trotz der Drecksgrippe.
Januar Übersicht
Aus sehr unterschiedlichen Gründen, manche erfreulich, wie unser Urlaub, andere weniger, war unser Spielemonat recht übersichtlich.
Dennoch hatten wir wieder sehr viel Freude an unserem Hobby und haben doch einige sehr schöne Nachmittage Abende verbracht.
Diesen Monat darf es dann aber gerne wieder mehr werden. 😁
Board game plays for January 2026. First play for Knitting Circle, which we’ve had for a bit and hadn’t gotten around to playing. A first play for me of Die Siedler von Nürnberg, which I enjoyed more than Catan. The early part of the month (including vacation time) was dominated by Harmonies, a game that I would recommend to anyone. #BoardGames #bgstats
Mein Januar war sehr gemischt, aber #CongressOfVienna is mein neues GoTo Spiel gerade. Muss noch ein paar mal auf den Tisch kommen. Der Rest ist aber auch gut. Hier die 9 Highlights.

#BGStats says in Jan, I got in 31 plays of 17 different #BoardGames
Dominant Species: Marine was new-to-me otherwise I replayed a bunch of games. I'm getting comfortable with Clans of Caledonia but have only played about the half the Clans. I feel the same about Gaia Project. I have to get better at Hansa.
I taught: Viticulture Tuscany, Arnak, Inis, Hansa, Power Grid, Gaia Project, and 7 Wonders Duel
I have a new favorite in Ascension, that is not so surprisingly a deck building game 😇🤷♂️
Meanwhile Pili Pili is a great trick-taking game on BGA where every round has special rules and you have to bid on how many tricks you will one.

Ran through the tutorial missions of Agemonia today. Very promising, can imagine this being a lot of fun for us both.
