I started my 10×10 on 10/10/2018. For anyone who doesn’t know what a 10×10 is, you have to play 10 games, 10 times in a year. It’s essentially a goal setter. You’re trying to play games you already have and play them multiple times to see what they can truly offer. The board gaming hobby isContinue reading “How My Failed 10×10 Was a Success”
