This has been discussed before, but I thought it was time for a proper poll.

Not nearly as much as I would like, so 1-5 times a year atm.

While I'm still young (ish!) enough to play a decent standard of rugby I concentrate on that , only getting to play wargames at the occasional tournament. Mostly the rather cool Dakka affairs.

I plan to play more when i next get injured!

I went with 1-5 years as well. What with a wife and 7 children, as well as work and an after hours PC repair business, it is really hard to find time to play. I did however play a game of SH with my 6 yo son this past weekend, he LOVED it, so there is hope

I voted for monthly. When my mates are back from uni I normally get 2 games in a week, but in the time between I'm lucky if I get 1 game in in 2 months.

I guess that averages to roughly monthly game

I have a weekly game on Wednesdays prepping for the Adepticon Team Tournament. I'm kind of feeling like it's too often and it's burning me out.

I'm in the 2-3 times a month camp.

Myself and a couple friends started a gaming group that meets every other Thursday evening. It's very good schedule for me and doesn't put too much pressure on my other responsibilities, but still lets me get a good gaming fix.

Friday is game night, but I still get the odd game in on Thursday or Saturday. So approximately once per week, on average.

One of my days off each week I try to put in 4 hours or so for the hobby. Lately I've been building/painting more than playing but I think 2 times a month is probably a fair guess.

Lake Forest, California, South Orange County

Sadly out here in the middle of fething nowhere desert California the only opponent I have is my wife, and we have a 1 1/2 year old and a 5 year old so we get very little time to ourselves.

Luckily we are moving in with my father in a few months, and there are 2 game stores(granted 1 is a GW store) right down the street from there so we'll have a babysitter and a place to play regularly from then on.

One dude plays it daily so no one else has to.

All jokes aside, I'd like to take a stab at LoTR SBG someday.

For the summer I play couple times a week, depending on who is around on warhammer days at the FLGS.

During the school year, I am lucky to play... once a month. More like bimonthly

i put more than twice a week since i play multiple games on my game days ... (not sure if that counts) im lucky enough to have a tight knit group of friends (4 of us) we all live close to each other and formed up a little gaming guild, we play 40k Friday nights at my house after my daughter goes to bed, usually 2-3 games. And then most of the day Saturday usually at our LGS then at one of our houses after, usually 4-6 games. we all have 2 or more armies so we get in a good rotation. Of course we take breaks from time to time as well, and people miss days often but since its a 4 man group at least 2 or 3 people show up.

Excellence is not an achievement, its a habit. We are what we continually do.

Frankfurt (Germany)

Once or twice during werknights,
Twice or thrice every Friday Night

A tournament every two or three weeks, 3, 4 or 5 games a weekend

Other gameclubs irregularly meet saturdays, wich is another 2 games

Sundays we usually hold a second game-day for those who couldn't make it to our regular friday nights

.

I believe to average at about 6 games a week

I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays! And I want to - I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body!

2-3 times a month....not too little that you feel like you're missing out, but not too much that it becomes boring

I will forever remain humble because I know I could have less.
I will always be grateful because I remember I've had less.

This year due to varying factors, I've played about 5 times, so went with 1-5. However, a typical year is monthly to 2-3 times a Month.

Where the sun crosses the field of blood.

Currently, I barely play at all, since I kinda got stuck with my armies since I started VC just before Newcrons were announced. Now I'm struggling to build up both of those armies on poor economy at the same time. For some reason, I don't feel like playing with the Newcron dex until I've managed to build the army as I want it.
