The queued list contains games that I intend to begin in the near future, either as soon as I move games off the open list or as soon as I finish earlier games in the series. Games are usually placed on the queued list when I acquire them, but exceptions will be noted. (These exceptions usually find their way into the queue before too long, anyway.)
