The Play Log

Reading rules is one thing. Sitting down with a deck is another. So here's the plan: I play each game, then write about how it went — what clicked, what didn't, and whether I'd play it again.

Every entry gets a rating out of five . For solitaire I'll note how many tries it took to win and how long I played. For games with other people, who was at the table and how the hands went. And sometimes I won't keep score at all — because winning isn't really the point. Having fun is.
