Simple Rules
- If you finish a game in your backlog, it counts as +1.
- If you buy, or otherwise acquire a new game, that counts as -1.
- The goal is to have as high a number as possible.
Special Rules
- Clean Slate - You only count games as a -1 that you bought this year. As of January 1st your total score is reset to zero, any games bought/received prior do not count as a -1, only a +1 if you beat them. If you're joining mid-year and don't remember what you've bought to date - give yourself a clean slate right now.
Resources
- Backloggery is manual but seems to be a GAF favorite. The focus is just on your completion status of the game (Unplayed, Unfinished, Beaten, Completed).
- HowLongToBeat allows you to enter the amount of time it took to beat the game and can also be used as a reference for how long it may take to beat based on other players results.
- GameDeed, a more strict table list with focus on easy comparison of games and flexible filtering.
- Darkadia helps you bring your game collection to life by giving you the tools to quickly and painlessly manage your video game collection.
- GameBeat, a platform for completion tracking made by Wo33er since he didn't like the alternatives. Maybe it appeals to you, too?
- Grouvee, catalog your video game collection and track your backlog.
- Playfire tracks your gaming activity automatically.
