"Not as often as I'd like" should just be an option

Currently, I stand at one game this year. One game of 40k Kill Team.

*sigh*

Less than once a month. It would be once a month, but I usually only game Classichammer on drill weekends, and half of those are away. Found out there is at least one other gamer in my unit, so may be able to get more.

I dont really play, I only have fun painting XD

I play once a week on thursday evenings. And then some small tournaments and bigger cames once every other month on a saturday. Will be less in the future because we're moving away to another province.

I play only about 4 games a month, not as many as I'd like, but all my local players (near my FLGS) are usually only available Thursday nights, when I'm busy with school stuff.

Every few weekends or so, I head over to the nearest GW (about an hour away) and get a game or two in, but that's about all I can get since there are only two tables.

I've had two games so far this year, no way near enough. Might have to swap Saturday morning coffee for gaming if it continues.

I've been trying to up my amount of play to once or twice a month (ideally every other week), but it has not been working very well. Hence less than once a month

I want to get my army painted first and the focus at my club at the minute is to get our armies ready so yeah, not yet.

Played when ever I could in 5th worked out at once per fortnight

Havn't been able to play since I can't find a place too play since I moved.

Not too keen on 8th (Don't want to relearn everything again, Im lazy). That and I need to find a place that is receptive to my extensivly customized and converted army.

I'm really interested in this spread of answers. I expected it to be generally high or low!

"in a month"

lol

Try "games a year" for useful numbers

Sat. is typically my minis gaming day. For the longest time it was limited to 5pm+ & (generally) 1 Flames of War match. But with a recent scheduling change I'm able to play earlier. So for the past 2 months I've gotten in an additional game of X-Wing/Bolt Action/etc. Soon I'll add 40k to that list.

And sometimes we'll squeeze a quick minis game in on our D&D night. Or to fill those sessions that would otherwise get canceled for whatever reason

Normally at our weekend gathering I get 1-2 games of WM/H in. Some weeks I get the option of another random game but normally its a couple of games on a Sat or Sunday afternoon/eve.

Between work and family I hardly get enough time to paint let alone get a game in here and there. I have been trying to find a local group or some gamers more interested in similar games to myself but with no luck. My last attempted game was against my brother who was high as a kite on beer at the time...so I ended up joining him. The End result was a game where we both ended up staring blankly at the table and nothing happened. Pretty sure those Squigs are still laughing at us both.

I get to amend this. for 3rd Ed. 40K, I will wind up getting a game in at every drill I have that isn't a field drill. My brother now lives far closer to me, and is in my town several days a week for work. That facilitates some 6th Ed. WFB gaming at the local shop that's about four blocks from my house. So it looks like I'm going from less than once a month to potentially every weekend.

Sadly nowhere near as often as I wish I could. I haven't got a store near me at all, so I'm reduced to playing with friends, and mostly they don't play, or are too busy.

My girlfriend and I play a game once a week.

I rarely get a chance to play... Worst part? I don't just have 40K- I have multiple WWII games as well (and they can be played in short amounts of time as well).

Out of more than 5k votes? This is a surprise to me.

I run late night gaming at a FLGS so minimum of 1 sometimes as many as 3 every Saturday. now you understand why I play so many systems, got to have variety when you play all the time.

Before the pandemic? I aimed for once a week, sometimes managed twice a week, but not less than once a month.
Since the pandemic? Once every 3 or 4 months?

Yeah, this year has been a big hit to my gaming. I had a stretch of years when I was playing 100+ games. That dropped in 2019 when I only had 61 games played, which I thought was lacking.

This year, however - oof. With no conventions, tournaments, campaigns, or club meetings, I'm way down in games played. Only at 30, and I can't imagine that's going to get much higher as things get worse with the weather getting colder.

Boardgame Wednesday with buddies (1-2games/w)
+
occasional wargame visit of a friend (2g/m)
+
a Warmachine tournament (3g/m)
+
boardgaming with wife (1-2g/w)
+
boardgaming club I run at school (2g/every 2w)
+
solitaire plays at home: Aeon's End, Machina Arcana, Spirit Island, Mage Knight (2g/w)

I'd say close to 30 tabletop games / month is about right. Pandemic cut that number down a bit, obviously.

Zero as of now used to be 1-2 a week then one a month.

Used to play once a week but my group is no more (people lost interest or moved to different cities/countries). Also covid/lockdown.

Surprised people are playing frequently giving it's a method of transmission in a pandemic.

What a weird poll.

This poll has been running since 2012. Also peoples circumstances are different, I play 3 times a week because I live with people who play, previous to that I played twice a week because the country I was in dealt with the virus really quickly.
