How often do you play?

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

Usually 2-4 games a week. This month is a bit crazy, got 6 local tournaments so I'll be going to 40+ games this month!

Nov-Dec I probably played more than 30 games, possibly in the range of 40. Down to once a week now because of Starsector and Nexerelin.

I try to get my son to the table once a week. We are currently in the middle of an Epic scrap that we started on Sun! We have the luxury of setting up and playing for a bit, then leave it set up til we get back to it, often the next weekend.

4 to 7 times a week. It would be more, but we can generally only fit one game between me getting home and dinner. Any slight overtime at work kills it.

My boys want to pay all the time though. They made up their own game with hot wheels ships and LEGO blocks for when I don't have time (or am at work). They're getting to a point where 120 points versus my 100 is harder to win.

We need to play more ;)

Sunday and Wednesday nights, 2-3 games each night. Starting today, Saturday, joining a league. Nothing builds character like being humiliated at X-Wing several times a week. ;-)

As often as I can and not often enough. At the moment this averages at about 1 game every 2 weeks. I live vicariously through watching matches on YouTube.

Every Tuesday and Friday, between noon and 6 or so.. sometimes later on Fridays...maybe 4 games a day.. plus tourneys.. like the one in Niles last weekend and the one at my FLGS this Sunday..

Running 4 scum Ys with TLTs and Unhinged Astromechs.. I forgot how rough this list is.. lol..

Once a week, our FLGS has Wednesday night as Flight Night, for games like X-Wing, Armada, and Attack Wing. 50p for as many games as you want, good community, friendly people. Naturally this doesn't include any tournaments that are scheduled which is usually one every few months.

Between wife, 2 young kids and a ridiculously busy job, not as frequently with other people as I would like but I play against myself a lot in the evenings when the family are in bed and I have nothing to do. It beats playing video games relentlessly :)

Same here!

I just attended my first casual night this week, I'm looking at playing regularly on Wednesday evenings 2-3 games. Between work, graduate school, working on a new house and preparing for our first child (early May) that's about the time I have.

Maybe 4 times a month. The issue is my location. I am at the NE end of Fort Worth. All of the big meet ups are in Plano and Dallas which is an hour away for me. That means I can't make it.

Whenever I asked the FFG Organized Play forum if there was anyone closer, I only found one person. That person has yet to respond. I need a lot more than one person to get the practice I need to be Tournament ready.

I tried the Reddit forums, and they point me to the place, that I say is too far for me.

I tried the FB groups that I was pointed to. The pages are no longer there, or they haven't been active in more than a year.

When I went to the Area 51 Game Nights, no one showed. I tried for 6 nights in total.

So for over a year, I have had this repeat cycle of not playing much due to lack of players near me, and or a lack of DFW players in the forums. It sucks but, there is nothing I can do to fix it at this time.

RPLev, I'm in a similar situation. I don't know when you tried Area 51, but as of October I'd heard that they had a pretty regular X-wing night. We recently moved, so I may venture out there if I can get it to work in my schedule (work, first child almost 12 months old, &c.), so PM me if you want to try to find a time.

At this point, I'm lucky if I get in 1 game per month. I tried to start a league at my preferred FLGS, but never really got it off the ground. I may look into trying a different night to see if that helps. No longer having my weekends sucked away by a part-time job means my schedule is slightly more flexible.

2-3 games thursday nights

2-4 games saturday afternoons, soon 4-7 with store champ season

maybe 1 other game on a random night

As much as I can, but not as much as I want.

Would love to play more but at the moment it's an evening every few weeks when I can drive through to my mates house.

There is no club playing X wing near me (it's all 40k and bolt action), pretty jealous of some of thses replies, 2-3 times a week would be amazing.

I try my damnedest to get in at least on game a week, between the driveable FLGS nights and friends learning to play. This week I played two for a FLGS month-long league THursday, plus one after owrk Saturday. It's been a good week.

I generally play two or three casual or tourney games a week. (Actually, make that three to four. I forgot about bi-weekly League.)

On Thursdays 3 games.

On Fridays 3 games.

Sometimes 3 games on Sunday.

Sometimes a game or two on Tuesdays.

Haven't tried Vassal yet.

My God. How do you find time to get to the ice-cream store?!

Typically play 3 games a week at the local shop, and a couple games a week on Vassal.

I'd guess, single! Can't imagine a married guy getting that many games in that many days a week!

Maybe once a month. I generally only play with my friends that also play. And once a year I play the tournament at the local tech school's wargaming convention.
