I am a happily married father of four boys. I began to get heavily into boardgames beginning in 2006. Knizia is by far my favorite designer though I am growing to like Michael Schacht and Uwe Rosenberg. I own too many games, more than I can play in fact, yet my collection will never be large enough, I'm sure. I am by profession a historian of Stuart England, though I won't bore you with the details. My avatar is a monster picture drawn by my eldest son when he was 3. My Top 10 are my Top 10, my Hot 10 are the games I most want to purchase, and my Want to Play are the games I own that I have not played (does not include expansions).
Here are my most recently played games (with a likely bias to kid's games):

(I began recording my games played in January 2007. Nearly all of my recorded plays are for games played in person. I only record online games if I play with a person I know, either PBEM or in real time.)
