I'm with WT -- I like a load between 15 and 20, just so that I can rely on taking several turns a day at least. Caveat that, especially these days I tend to play larger player-count boards (5.1 avg game size), so it's a long wait between turns for any given game.
Hard to believe Johasi is down to 5 games, lol.
RL was getting in the way so I had to force austerity. Letting my Premium subscription expire did the trick. Not having access to stats makes it more time-consuming to play per game (and less fun). I find myself preferring to join games with more fog than not because stats are less helpful in those games. The one thing I really miss is luck stats. For me, it's comforting to be able to confirm that you in fact threw crappy dice.
I nearly always play 3-day-turn games, so there is less pressure to be always on here, and usually have 20-30 games going. Typically that means about 10 turns a day to play if I wish. It has been higher, but then it becomes stressful rather than fun. Lower and it becomes a bit boring as I refresh and there are no turns to play!

100% with you. Although as games end, I eventually find myself in about 5-10 games, and then quickly join 10 more. Works well for me to give myself a bit of a break as life gets busy, but I always come back for more.
I also think I take it less seriously than most. I only check history in team games (don't want to let down my teammates), or if it starts looking like I have a chance to win, or occasionally for boards I have champion points in, so I want to try to be extra careful to win.
I once hit 135 games at the same time (as DeVine). That was insane. I prefer 10 - 15.
>I once hit 135 games
I wonder what the record is for someone - only counts if you actually finished the games and didn't get booted from them though.
Pretty sure I didn't get booted from any of them - though I didn't win too many of them, either. 😥
