I would like to play more with my son (11), he got a switch for Christmas and is now very happy to play with it. I made up my mind that we could play more together. We would be very happy about Mario Odysse. Thank you for the great raffle and a happy new year.
In general, you should play more and walk around less with a stick in your back. New Year's Eve was even played in a very nostalgic way with 'Don't be annoyed' and 'Mikado'. In 2021 I want to try out even more escape games and I don't want to miss out on playing time on the PS4 either. As a new purchase, I also set my sights on the Nintendo DS, which is almost old-fashioned. Happy New Year to you!
We have decided to continue playing together as much as we did in 2020. Corona showed us how nice it is. Unfortunately, there was often not enough time beforehand. Now let's take our time. We would be happy about the Switch game Mario Kart 8.
We have decided to finally start with pen + paper this year. With Corona you finally have the time to read the story ๐
Over the holidays we found fun playing board games in the family again, we want to do that more often. And then I'm especially looking forward to playing with my grandchild, which is expected soon.
More time for board games with the family.
We've also made plans to play more games, especially guessing games we think are great. Just to come to rest again is really super nice. I would really like to play more on my old game consoles again ๐ Great raffle!
I want to finish playing Wizardry 8. Defeat Terraria Expert mode too. And when I have a little extra money, Cyperpunk 2077 will start.
Several weeks ago we bought the Star Wars Monopoly, but it really should be played this year ๐
I wish that I can finally play games for 3 or more players again. To be on the safe side, we did not do this in the past few months.
I hope that my game group will be able to hold game evenings without Skype again and that my daughter will be able to celebrate her children's birthday with friends in February. Spending time together playfully is the best.
My son got a Switch for Christmas. He's currently playing Lego City and Minecraft. We'd be very happy about Mario Kart ... Then I can pull it off too. Happy news
In 2021 I plan to engage in adventure games and role-playing games for children. I hope it goes down well in the family.
Bought a Nintendo Switch for my little son. Due to the passable story with Corona, I have the opportunity to spend more time with him. Therefore we will be able to play together with the Nintendo Switch very often.
I have made up my mind to play card and board games with my parents and sister more often again. We have already started this in the Advent season. Thank you for the nice raffle and all the best for the new year!
We tried an escape room game on New Year's Eve and are so excited that we will play it more often now
We have decided to further reduce our Pile of Shame
I plan to play a lot with my girlfriend and โplay throughโ, i.e. finally try out whatever games there are and then play them intensively. The goal in the new year is to only buy new games if the old ones have been used.
Happy New Year!
I hope for interesting games for the new consoles and also good food for the Switch.
Until then, I would really like to reduce my stack of unplayed games a bit ๐
I got Ring Fit Adventure and hope to get a little fitter with it!

We will spend more time at home in 2021 too, family games bring variety.
I am increasingly enjoying board games and would like to play them with friends and family in 2021 as well. As a counterbalance to everyday university and work, I would like to buy a switch soon so that I can immerse myself in a playful world on my own. ๐
In 2021 it will be time to slowly introduce the kids to console games so that we can have fun together here too. Board games shouldn't be neglected either. I want to practice a little chess with the big guy.
To be calm no matter what
Due to Corona, we have stopped our game afternoons with friends. In 2021 we hope that we can start again soon and start all over again with new games.
It's difficult in the area of โโplay. รber is called son got his first own switch game. Playing that through with him would be a good resolution. This is one of the Lego games
Happy New

I want to move more.
Playing more and more demanding games with my son ... That I might also win ๐
In this new year, I want to teach my grandchildren the various board games
In any case, I've planned more game evenings with family and friends for this year. It's just a lot of fun and it's also good to get away from your smartphone for a few hours. ๐
Well, finally, gamble more, or was it a lot more gamble?
More time for games.
I definitely want to deviate from my favorites and just try new things. I also like games that I don't immediately find appealing in terms of their external appearance and description. There will certainly be one or two positive surprises here and will add a little spice to the gaming world.
Play more rummy again ๐
I want to be a better loser

I would be very happy about Calico or Civilization (that doesn't fall under BUY games, right ????) ๐
Greetings and a good start into the new year!

We plan to play more escape room games this year.
More time to play with my daughter Zelda

Play more action games and less thinking
โLife is a game, like all games are:
Who does not understand it, loses,
And whoever understands it wins.โ
Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim (1719-1803), poet

Hi
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that this year Corona will only be a type of beer, masks will only be worn at carnival and โpositiveโ will be a good thing again.
And that's why we're going to tackle the next Pandemic Legacy. Yes, what irony of fate ๐
LG Michell
To try out more dice games again - HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR !!
I want to play more adventure games
I have a lot of playful plans, as my son will soon be 1 year old. So it never gets boring when it comes to gaming.
And in the evenings, when Dad has time for himself, he likes to play old classics like โCrash Bandicootโ and also a new game like Pikmin3 on the Switch
So I would be very happy if I were to be drawn and a new game was added to the collection. Most of all, I would look forward to one of the two Mario games for the Switch
Stay healthy!
The game night with the family should be kept.
I would like to play more with the family again, especially board and puzzle games.
Happy New Year!
My resolution to finally play strategy games with dewr family.
I want to play through the entire Mario franchise.
I hope to win Super Mario Odyssey for that.
Play a lot more with the family!
I want to play more exercise games on the console again to get fitter while having fun.
I have made up my mind to analyze and acquire the Playstation exclusive title for myself. To an ingenious gaming year with many highlights.
I would like to free myself more time to play again. Unfortunately, I played very little last year.
Starting this year, I would like to organize a fixed game evening for family and friends once a month, where we play board games of all kinds and just have a great evening together.
Playing more in general would be great. I would like to dare even more to the classics that have been neglected in recent years. Many new games are too complex for me. Otherwise I would like to improve my level in the exit games.
play more family games
I would like to do game nights with friends again in the New Year, hopefully it will work out again soon.
Spending more time with the family is best done with games evenings together. It's fun and promotes togetherness.
Moin, since our PS4 broke down, let's go back to great board games and have a lot of fun with them.
LG: -.)
make game nights again if that's possible
I would like to play Civilization in analogue. ๐
We haven't had that many games with our kids in the last few months due to renovations.
For the New Year it is definitely important not to get distracted and play more again, as this is always great fun for everyone.
Definitely more sport!
After we had so much on our minds last year, I want to start again this year. So much new solo games added and I want to bring my girlfriend to the table to play too. Playing always distracts from everything so well.
I want to take more time and play with my children more.
I just want to play the good old board games again. I'll give my PS4 some rest.
So, card games won't be. Since we are 5e we will play fine board games. Game of Life, Monopoly, Who Am I, Monkey Alert. Unfortunately we don't have that much to choose from. It will be games of skill and thinking. I have two school children who need it as long as the school is closed. So we would be very happy.
When it comes to GAMING: Everyone was fascinated by cyberpunk - I want to be it too. Yeah, I know there were a lot of problems. But shouldn't stop me. Spiderman Miles Morales would be nice too. Have never flown through the air with it. And Final Fantasy HD Remake I'll start. It's been out for a while, but I haven't found the time because of work.
My boys are now at an age where they can handle even more demanding games. We will definitely expand this further. We also want to take a look around what new outdoor games are out there.
In any case, actually make good use of our stack of games and play with the family on a regular basis.
The children want to play werewolves again when we can get a larger group together again.
More family games, and again more Playstation.
I haven't done anything and let it come to me quite easily
In the new year I am thinking of putting aside money for a game console for which there are many games where you have to let off steam. In terms of health, I would need more exercise. For me, something playful in this area would be better than gymnastics exercises that I only did for a short time. Something has to be done that is fun!
More to play
My partner and I want to do more game nights again - with our friends. We played alone more often last year, but never in the group due to Corona. We would like that to be different again.
So, as the kids get older, more board games. Catan Junior, Risk Junior, Monopoly Junior and Cluedo Junior arrive. So let's see if the next step can be made to more complex games. At least it should work with the older daughter.
Otherwise, I want to finally play the Mario 3 D Classic games on the Switch. Bought right at the beginning, I haven't gotten around to it yet. But this year you are sure to be played through!
I want to finally work off my โpile of shameโ. There are so many games in my library and I haven't even started most of them. That should change slowly.
We noticed on New Year's Eve that we didn't have any more exciting games. It's time for something new ๐
My resolution: More game evenings with the family
To stay tuned to difficult successes and trophies ๐
I want to take more time to gamble.
Hi
a happy new year everyone!
Playful resolution in our family:
More often in the evening a game on the table instead of turning on the television. And with that, tackle some dream games that have been slumbering on the shelf for far too long.
Card games with my family
I have decided to take a little more time for myself again, even if it's only 2 hours a week ...
That I win more often than last year ๐
In 2021 I would like to play more board games again. During lockdown, we discovered how much fun game nights are.
We love to play and we want to test a lot of new games this year. We just got to know the game Switch & Signal and we really loved it. So far, almost all games have been worth reading into the often rather long game descriptions. It's worth it for the great moments of play together and I would like to get to know many more games this year!
To get our little daughter excited about games as early as possible!
Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon to be able to play with my grandchildren.
We have never played as much as in the last six months. We want to keep that going after Corona.
We want to continue playing as often after Corona.
The best thing about Covid 19, we have rediscovered the joy of playing and don't want to lose it anymore.
I got a Switch from my wife for Christmas. For me that means with the games this year
to really get started!
I want to take more time to play.
More board games with friends

more board games, fewer pc games
Together with my girlfriend I will solve more exit puzzles.
We would be very happy about one of the board games.
My resolution is to continue our online game group, which was reactivated during lockdown times, in the new year!
We are firmly committed to playing more board games in 2021. 2020 was a huge increase for us, a game-loving family anyway, but there is more! There has to be more, because having fun at the table is always good for everyone and is so important for family cohesion in these digital times!
I plan to finally break the first curse on 7th continent after we died miserably the last time
I am playfully planning to play the next case at Mansions of Madness as soon as possible
We generally play a lot and we like to play with our three daughters ๐
We wish for the future that it will stay that way and that the variety will also continue to exist
a balanced mix of board games and games in front of a monitor would be great.
My favorite would be a game for the Switch for my kids
We actually have a few untouched board games lying around here, and have been for years. We will definitely change that.
Oh there are nice games there, I have to try my luck! Maybe I'll be able to solve a few cat riddles soon ๐
For 2021 I have decided to stay just as playful as the years before! Fortunately, I am allowed to play every day at work and often try out new games, so I never get bored!
Best regards,
Jana
I finally want to approach strategy games.
Even back then, I loved driving the rainbow track in Mario Kart on the Wii, and the track on the Switch is sure to be a lot of fun
My goal is to buy fewer new games and play more existing games!
I have decided to downsize my game collection and only buy new games in special cases. Of course, I would still be happy about a win ๐
We actually wanted to play a lot of Rummikub and Scrabble for Christmas, but unfortunately we couldn't get to it because of all the stress and anger and now we will hopefully make up for it soon.
I have made a playful resolution that I will play more often with my little nephew.
As soon as it is possible to meet a lot with the different game groups again, there is a lot to catch up on
I would like to continue to find and play games that are interesting and playable for two people.
Board games with the family and the children
More social game to play with our friends :-)!
My children and I play board games regularly and a lot. We often do handicrafts ourselves. For example, we recently painted nutshells and didn't use them as figures for people annoy you. Mega.

My playful resolution for this year would then be to continue as before. ๐
to have better nerves when playing :))
I want to play more Exit Games this year. I love the Kosmos range and want to find some great other manufacturers. A bit of exercise at home with Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch is also firmly planned. Otherwise, I hope that an (offline) board game evening with friends will soon be possible again.
My goal for this year is to finally manage to host a regular game night.
When friends are over there, we often play card games together. Then the idea was always taken to do it regularly. Now words should be followed by deeds. When the pandemic allows it again, I'll tackle that.
preferably family games like Game of Life or Monopoly
Like most of them, I have decided to play more with our kids. Regardless of whether digital or analog ... Thanks in advance.
We'll definitely keep playing as much as we've come to appreciate the games this year

In 2021 I would like to play even more different players with my granddaughter. She loves to play new games over and over again and to challenge herself. Of course me too. But that's a lot of fun for us.
Since there was a Nintendo Switch for Christmas, my resolution is to discover some of the console's top titles for me.
I would like to eat healthier this year in order to get fitter again โฅ my daughter would be very happy about the great price
Kind regards โฅ
I haven't planned on anything because things usually turn out differently than planned anyway
In 2021 I would not only like to spend a few nice hours at the console (switch), but also take a closer look at a few old classics. Somehow it was always nice when you gathered together in front of the table and played a game of Monopoly. Or don't-be-angry-yourself. ๐
This year I would really like to try out a few board games that have gotten stuck lately.
You basically have enough time now * cough *
I want to play more board games with my family again.
Take time for games
We love board and card games. We like to play risk or monopoly. Playing means having time for each other for things in common. This year I would also like to play games with the Switch to make the children happy.
For the new year I plan to play more board games. Over the holidays I played PS4 until I vomited. That we are slowly becoming dreary. Playing board games with family and friends is more fun. In particular I would like to play some expansions from Settlers of Catan ... e.g. Rise of the Inca

To expand our Nintendo Switch game collection ๐
Fill in the free time at home with board games! There are so many games left on my wish list <3
I decided to watch more board game lets plays instead of reviews to form my own opinion! I have been disappointed several times in the last few months ... ๐
I've decided to train Mario Kart with my daughter on the Switch so that I'm not always the worst... I also want to play "Fitness Boxing" on the Switch more often, a little more fitness can't hurt!
Greetings, Sigrid
Somehow I finally got hold of Civilization haha
Maybe I'm lucky !
To play away my entire Pile of Shame in January: 'D
And for the fact that we only have the 08.01. I'm pretty good at it!
Hi! I would like to somehow manage to organize more board game nights with friends. Sure, because of Corona that didn't work for a long time, but even before that it was always very difficult to get everyone to one table. But I think we will look for like-minded people in the local game house =)
Just do more game afternoons and evenings and get to know new games <3
