Alphabet Gaming Challenge

So you've heard of the 10x10 or 5x5 gaming challenge; well this is something new, the Alphabet challenge.

Following a recent purchase of Yedo to complete my alphabet collection I now want to play through it. Not necessarily in order... but here is my list I want to get played this year.

Alchemists
Battle Star Galactica
Carson City / Cottage Garden
Dominant Species
El Grande
Five Tribes
GeistesBlitz
Heroes Wanted
Imperial Settlers
Junk Art
Kanban
Lewis & Clark
Mansions of Madness
Nostra City
Oregon
Pandemic
Quarantine
Redacted
Space Hulk
Tigris & Euphrates
Urban Sprawl
Viceroy
Western Town
X-wing
Yedo
Zombicide

So any takers for anything?

Junk Art, Kanban and Yedo please! (I'll leave X-wing for Kes ;-))

Junk Art for me too please! Also Mansions of Madness, which I've been wanting to try for a while, and GeistesBlitz, which I played for the first time yesterday and would love to try again.

I'll Junk Art with you...

I'd like another go at Lewis & Clark and I'll let you beat me at T&E again as well

So kind

I just looked at my own list and I'm just missing V and X. Wonder what I should get to fill the gaps? (Cue Kes telling me to buy X-Wing...)

Village and X-Com (or Xia legends of a drift system)

You obviously have to buy them right now to quell your OCD.

Viticulture. I can't respect a person who doesn't have Viticulture in their collection.

Viticulture is very tempting... I might wait until Charterstone comes out and see if I can save on postage.

And Xia for 'X' is also a good prospect. Has anyone ordered the expansion?

I have more of them than I expected. What do people have for Q and Z?

I'm surprised you don't have Viticulture Paulyg! Kes has ordered the expansion to Xia.

I used to have way more! At one point I had Yspahan, Quantum and Zooloretto!

Queens Necklace
Zombicide

(Though since I sold Zombicide and X-wing, I'm not as close as I used to be!)

I used to own Valdora and Vikings as well. There was definitely a point when I had all of them. Now I'm way off.

Queens necklace - urgh! Played that at the EXPO - the demonstrator just wasn't engaged and thebgame just fell flat for us.

When are we playing xwing then? You wanna try out some ships you've never used?

Also TomS

Aneurin, don't you think you should also have a game starting with a number?

Yes, and a ~

I've got* a copy of '#Hashtag - The Game of Hashtags' that I'll sell you for a very reasonable price, Aneurin.



(* - Can make out of some bits of spare card)

Tie strikers do look good!

I was considering adding 7 wonders as the number game. But this isn't a character challenge it's the alphabet challenge and last time I checked it wasn't 'abc defg hijk lmnop qrs tuv wx y and Z now I know my abcs won't you come and # me'

Oh I like that!
I accept the 2017 alphabet gaming challenge!
Pauly.... as I play99.99% of my games with you, am signing you up for it too


(NB I interpret the challenge as playing a game from each letter of the alphabet in 2017 - not playing every game on Aneurin's list, although some crossover would be ok)

In order?

Kes wrote:In order?

I can't see me doing that so not going to try
But not in order seems achievable

Having rebuilt my game list I see I'm only missing U and X from my collection. I thought I was missing Z, but my copy of Go Cuckoo! is the German version Zum Kuckuck! Result!

However, given I already have 30 unplayed games in my collection, should I really add 2 more just to scratch the alphabet itch?
