101 things update

I only have one new thing to tick off my 101 things list, but it's a biggie - I have played 101 different games! Aptly enough, I finished the challenge on Kevan's birthday. When I wrote the list it always seemed quite likely that I'd manage this one, given we have a large library of board games at home and friends who sometimes come to stay with an entire crate of their games; but then the Ludoquist cafe opened in Croydon and became our favourite social space, and they kindly bought a lot more games so we didn't have to. Also, Croydon God-daughter has become quite an able games player, so now it's a thing we can sometimes do with her. I'm not sure that I'm actually particularly interested in games per se, and my poor memory for the rules means I'll never be very skilled at them, but I like that they're a good way of spending time with other people. And sometimes they're quite funny.

Here's the entire list of games, seeing as I bothered to log them as I went along. This will not be of any interest to more than two of you, but perhaps you can spot which ones were not endorsed by Kevan... There are way too many games named after a Japanese word here - I have very little idea which one is which!
