Best of 2022 - Boardgames

Last year I played 20 games that were new to me, 46 different games, and 60 times. This year, I played a *lot* more, in part thanks to Boardgame Arena's online tools, but in part due to more game nights and a super-productive BGG Con, plus a visit to GAMA and GenCon. All told, I played 94 different games, 250+ times, with 70 of them being new to me. However... 82 of those plays and 3 of those new games were on BGA, but still, that's 170+ plays, 67 new games, and over 90 different games.
