I Own. I Haven't Yet Played

I now have a collection of some 350+ games, but a number of them have yet to be played! In recent times I have added four new games and numerous expansions to older games that have yet to hit the table.

The new unplayed games...
* After the Flood - a 3-player only now approaching two years without playing
* Chainmail - a 2 player that I've now owned for nearly a year without playing.
* Pocket Battles: Celts vs. Romans - a quick, simple little game - but not one play in 5 months of ownership!
* Imperial 2030 - had for several months. Highly rated, but no chance to play.
* Washington's War - received this one complimentary from the designer himself (who is a good friend). A Two player, but so far, haven't played after owning for several months. This is a great one. I'm ashamed.

Expansions to older games, I still haven't used...

* Race for the Galaxy - The Brink of War
* Small World - Tales and Legends
* BattleLore - numerous add-ons and expansions - but none get played
* New Power Grid boards - Brazil, China.

Meanwhile - on pre-order: 7 Wonders.

What am I playing lately?
* Through the Ages
* Egizia
* Settlers of America: Trails to Rails
* Cyclades

It's my goal to get the "unplayed" to the table over the next two months. We'll see.
