Quite a few -- too many to itemize -- when I went through all the games the first time for the "win every game once", sometimes I'd get an easy win because the other person didn't know the rules, or they would quit / time out or something and I'd just move on to the next game. But to get to 100 ELO in a game you have to "figure the game out" to some extent.

Sometimes there would be interesting emergent complexity that made a game more interesting, or I'd realize that the game was simply more "fun" than I remembered.

But it went both ways -- sometimes I'd realize that a game was pretty shallow or just "by the book".

Wow, congrats, very nice!

As you seem to love multi game + challenges, time for a little (shameless) plug.

Did you just pick one game at a time and hammer away at it until you hit 100?

Which one was the hardest to crack 100?

For sure the more unpopular ones, but also the ones that require 4+ people to play (some of the trick-taking games) as it's harder to just have a spontaneous real-time game.

Whenever a new game goes into BETA, I jump on it. They are easy to find because normally the "Suggestions For You: We have 0 different games you haven't tried before..." area is empty ;)
