As you might know, I started playing 18xx games in March 2017, so that’s report is after 10 months of playing. I’m so lucky that I had opportunity to learned this kind of games and I love them so much. I love them, because when I’m playing my brain is burning and working more than 100%. I love that feeling after play, when we are discussing what we did, why we lose or win. I’m sure, that we could spend the same amount of time talking about 18xx games as we spend playing them. I’ve never had this kind of fun with other games before.
Here you can find, how many times, and what I was playing.

I didn’t expect that I won almost half of the games I’ve played 😉
More important for me is, that I was playing 27 times in 10 months and it gives 2.7 plays per month. Nice, but I want more 😉
And what about titles:
| 18XX TITLE: | # OF PLAYS: |

I’m not surprised that at the top of the list are two titles, which are best for new player. At the 3rd position is our beloved 😉 1836jr (divided into 2 variant, both superb). As I said, I want play more and more, so if there will be opportunity, and you will be somewhere around south of Poland, give me a known – I will play with you!
