Personal Gaming Chronology

Personal Gaming Chronology

Compile a list of games you have played in chronological order, and specify something you learned from each game, or something that stood out to you as significant.

Consider games in all forms, not just digital; think about board games, card games, dice games, games you played on the playground at recess, games you made up with your friends and family.

For each item on the list, specify your age (as best you can remember) when you first played it, the title or name of the game, and the thing that stood out about that game. I challenge you to come up with at least 50, and at least one from each year of your life (since you have been old enough to play games). It may be helpful to organize this information in a spreadsheet.
