First I want to say thanks for all the folks who have posted here in my blog. It is cool to "chat" with folks about my gaming experiences.My wife and I have jointly decided to do a 6x6 challenge each. We have a problem in my game collection in that we often play a game once or twice, then don't get back to it for months and months (if ever). So we are trying to focus our attentions and get some more plays on games that we either like or want to learn to like.
Here is my list for my 6x6 challenge:
1) Agricola
2) Le Havre
3) Caylus
4) Mercante
5) Civilization
6) Battlestar Galactica
Kat's list for her 6x6 challenge:
1) Arkham Horror
2) Talisman
3) Lords of Waterdeep
4) Smash Up
5) Small World
6) Trajan
We will probably be getting started on these tonight (at least one or two plays). I think Q is just going to ride along our lists and enjoy our plays. LOL. We decided to NOT include anything that is designed to be episodic (like Pathfinder ACG)... mostly because we will play them anyway.
I will post results on the challenge as we go along. Sometimes there will be full game reports... but I will at least log how we are doing along the way. I hope that we can get this done by the end of the year... but I might be optimistic about that. We'll see. :)

I wanted to take a minute and plug a geeklist that I've been watching (and participating in). http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/193365/pay-it-forward-firs...
If you haven't seen the list yet, run over there and check it out. It is awesome!
This list is a PERFECT example of what I feel makes a GREAT board game community... or really any community. When you are a part of a community, you should be willing to contribute to the community in whatever way you can. This list is a GREAT way to "give" to others in the community. I love it when people are generous... but anything you "give" promotes the good welfare of the community. My hats off to the guys running that list and hats off too to the wonderful folks who are keeping it going! I plan on contributing to the list at least every other month (as my budget allows).
