Game Night Stats: Jan 2026

Honestly January was a pretty slow month for games. Right after the holidays people were pretty tired and often times sick or too busy for game night. Sometimes that happens though. While I do my best to keep game nights weekly, I often want at least 2 other people than myself to be there, which means that if more than 2 people call out the same week, I generally choose to cancel.

I make dinner, host, set up, and read any new rules for the games being played that day, and often times it doesn’t feel worth it for only me and one other person. Plus I don’t really have a ton of free time so on the Friday’s where game night is cancelled, I try to make the most of it, by either writing these blogs, making content, updating the website, learning new editing techniques, and less be honest, every once in awhile, some doom scrolling just to escape the responsibilities of adulting.

When Did Game Night Happen?

Game night only happened two times in January 2026. Like I said people were sick and busy so it just wasn’t the biggest priority, that being said I was still excited to play my games I got for Christmas. If you’re interested to see what games I got for Christmas, you can check that out here!

This month we had game night on 1/9 and 1/23, meaning it was every other week this, month rather than weekly like I would like

Who Showed Up?

On 1/9 it was just D, JC and I.

On 1/23 we had the full group of A, D, E, JC, MB and I.

Name	Game Nights Attended	Games Played
A	1	2
D	2	4
E	1	2
JC	2	4
MB	1	2
N	2	4

Games Played

This month we only played 4 games, sadly none of which were games I got for Christmas…

On 1/9 D, JC and I were pretty tired so the game night was cut fairly short, but we played Hanabi and Fire Tower. Each game was only played once, but have been played multiple times in the past.

Hanabi

Fire Tower

On 1/23 A, D, E, JC, MB and I, also only played two games. We played a game of Planted without D because he was working and then a game of Wyrmspan once he got off work.

Planted

Wyrmspan

While Wyrmspan is only a 5 player game, my play group has played it so much and we know the board layout that we decided to stretch it to 6 people. While the game gook over 4 hours, we still enjoyed the session and I would honestly get one of the neoprene mats just to play with more people.

What Were They Rated?

*At this point I wasn’t tracking each person’s rating, but rather just the average between players.*

Who Won the Most?

Not including Co-op games I won 2 out of the 3 games played this month.

Who Won the Least?

A, D, E, and MB didn’t win at all this month.
