January 2010
It has been a busy month for myself...I find myself buried in school work, house work, and some other forms of work that,
alas, do not generate a paycheck. As such, I'm afraid I don't have much to offer in this newsletter. If anyone has an
article they would like to submit, please feel free to do so!
Thanks to Keith Layton, Steve Fitchett, Kurt Over, and Kevin Youells for their help in reporting games played this past month.
That's all for now. Game on!

The Games We Played - January 2010
Ra - The Dice Game and Tichu share this month's top honors with five plays each. As they are both quick games, this
is hardly a surprise. What might actually be suprising might be two of the games in second with four plays each: Agricola and
Axis & Allies. These are definitely not quick games by any strectch of the imagination.

list of games played in January.
