Performance Reviews - the General Idea

Welcome to the Board Room, my new blog where we discuss various gaming topics (board games, card games, and role playing games; pretty much any game that can be played on a table top). The focus for the Board Room, in addition to general discussion about games, will be our "Performance Reviews."


Performance Reviews will look something like this: At the end of each game night, we will randomly draw one or more games from the stack of 3 x 5 note cards. We have all agreed that the games drawn will be played during the next gaming session. After the games are played we will conduct discussions, ultimately deciding if the game says in our collections or goes.

At this time, we have cataloged Chris' and my (Stephen's) collections onto 3 x 5 note cards. We are currently sitting at a little over 220 games between the two of us. I hope to add Jeff's and John's collections in the coming weeks.

The idea is to bring out those games that haven't hit the table in a while, that would otherwise linger in board game collection limbo. Hopefully, the couple plays that these Performance Reviews facilitate will help us get rid of games we no longer should keep, and find those hidden gems that we forgot were collecting dust on our bookshelves.

Next weeks games up for Performance Reviews: Hive, Infinite City, & Pizza Box Baseball
