I have my own fantastic
gaming group that usually plays every Friday and Saturday nights. In our blog we review and talk about boardgames and everything related to the hobby. We are also responsable for one of the most important gaming conventions in our country -
LEIRIACON.
I also play at home with my wife, her sister and boyfriend. I've already converted these poor souls into boardgaming and we usually play one or two nights a week.
So, i'm a lucky dude that can play games 2 to 3 nights a week

I'm somewhat a mood player, so i often change my ratings on games.
