Game likes and dislikesI've been terrible at recording my game plays, so it's always out of date. :-(
My Hot 10 list are games I'd like to try, in no particular order.
My Top 10 list is only a rough guesstimate. In reality, my game prefs vary depending on what I've played recently, mood, and even time of day.
I'm willing to play any kind of game, though I tend not to like games where winning depends solely betrayal / backstabbing. I don't mind long games if I'm having fun. I like nice artwork / design in games, and also games where you're building something (e.g. a village, spaceship, landscape etc.) as you play.
About meI'm a Toronto-based freelance writer and illustrator with a gamer husband,
jridpath. I don't often play with Jeff's group because they start in the evening and play until the wee hours; I'm not really a night person.
I recently attended my first BGG.con this year (2008) and LOVED IT!!! You can find my
photos on Flickr and my con reports below:

Someday (fingers crossed) I'm hoping to get an invite to The Gathering. Yes, this is a not so subtle hint/plea. :-) I would be forever grateful, I promise!
