December: Winter / 2018

Welcome to the last monthly theme of 2018! This month you get to pick between two different themes - you can either play games released in 2018 or games with a winter feel.

---

Theme #1: Winter

For the game to qualify for this theme it needs to have a winter feel to it - Christmas, snow, ice, winter landscapes, winter sports,… You can find a list of eligible games here. Feel free to post more game suggestions as a reply to that post!

If you want to make choosing the games easier, check out Enhanced BLAEO - it will tell you which eligible games you already own.

Theme #2: 2018

This one is pretty self-explanatory. :) Games with a 2018 release date qualify for this theme - even if they’re remasters, ports, etc.
[The criteria is stricter when nominating games for the BLAEO game awards so keep that in mind if you find a game that fits the theme that you want to nominate for an award - certain games can be used for the monthly theme but NOT for the BLAEO game awards.]

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the monthly theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games this month?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.
