Quentin storms to top spot

It’s often been mentioned, and finally here it is: the leaderboard with the scores adjusted according to how long the game is, according to the length of time written on the side of the box (these figures taken from Board Game Geek).

I took the points from the Q system and multiplied them by 1 for every hour the game is supposed to last. So, for example, Poison (20 minutes) got 0.333, Tinners' Trail (75 minutes) got 1.25 and London (90 minutes) got 1.5. Using this method, there was no real difference in position in terms of Points Scored but the Points Ratio tally turned the table on its head!

Suddenly Quentin’s preference for lengthy, thoughtful games paid dividends. He’s only played two games, but since they’ve both been epics, he reaps the full reward of such dedication. Sam stays in third place while Adam’s many victories in short games suddenly don’t count for much. And Jonny rises to second, which is the least he deserves for being forced to learn a new game every week.

Meanwhile, I’m used to being near last in points ratio but 1.87 is low even by my standards. Joe also takes a big hit – falling to sixth. Next time I really must try to find a method of making us win.
