Reflections

Posted on by

I started playing table top games regularly when I decided to get reacquainted with Strat-O-Matic basic baseball.

I though that would be it.  The dice tower/tray that I built (PepsiCo Park) was inspired by other player’s Strat-O-Matic-themed creations.

But then, through my brother, I discovered PLAAY Games’ Red White & Blue Racing, which led to History Maker Baseball, which further led to about half a dozen other baseball games that I’ve tried, and almost a dozen more that I haven’t, along with various football, basketball, hockey, soccer, golf, wrestling, and other sports.

Quite a library of games I’ve built up over the years, and who knows when/if I’ll get around to all of them.

But that’s my plan.

Stay tuned!

Break?

Posted on by

Looks like it’s time to take an extended break from Sports games.  I felt this way last year after I had finished the 1967 Giants replay

I’m not quite burnt out, I just feel more inclined to play other non-sports games more frequently since last year.

I’m not shutting down completely, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if I do a race or a fight sometime this week.  Or not.

It’s the longer replays that I may be shying away from in the immediate future.

Stay tuned!

Goals

Posted on by

2 months into the year, and I finally settled on a couple of goals that I’d like to accomplish this year:

  1. Complete the 1967 San Francisco Giants season replay
  2. Complete the 1979 Winston Cup season replay

For the first one, I’ll have to play about 9 games a month or about 2 games a week in order to finish by end of the year.

For the second one, I’ll have to run about 2 races a month in order to finish by the end of the year.

Here’s hoping I can achieve at least one of these goals.

Stay tuned!

History Maker Golf: Foursome

Posted on by

I have now played twice as many games with History Maker Golf than I have with any other golf game in my collection:  two.

This time I grabbed 4 golfers who I had played with in a round in ASG Golf, from the ‘2000s Stars’ set that comes with the game, and had them play at Spyglass Hill at Pebble Beach.

I’ll probably try a tournament sometime this week.

Stay tuned!

Break

Posted on by

I had a game all set up on my table.

BallScore was ready to go on my computer.

I played a couple of innings.  And then stopped.

And then I deleted the results of those two innings.

And then I shut down BallScore and put away the game I had set up.

I think I still need a break from table top sports games.  I’m just not feeling it at the moment, though I’m not going to totally abandon them.

Or maybe I just need to not play baseball.  This has happened before.

I’ll regroup and see what happens and how I feel in the next week or so.

Stay tuned!
