Scores upon scores

Hidden beneath the raging torrent and unpredictable eddies and currents of the Form Table, there are still three other scoring systems in operation. I thought I'd post the current standings of them now to give people an idea of what to aim for in the last few weeks of the Spring season.


I do so at the risk of jinxing myself, since I currently sit atop the table for points awarded by the Q-System* thanks to an uncommon run of form over the past few weeks. Steve leads the way in the Holy Grail of GNN kudos: the points ratio, while Adam is first in the very close Olympic-style leaderboard.

Quentin and Paul are neck and neck in each category, although I suppose Paul should win by "miles travelled"

And if that weren't enough, I decided to go back and update the High Score section, including new favourites. Here they are, in all their victorious glory...

Agricola
Sam 46


Alhambra
Sam 157 (three players)
(beats his previous best of 141)
Sam 120 (four players)
(beats his own previous best of 113)


Ascending Empires
Hannah/Quentin 40
(just beats Sam's previous best of 39)


Brass
Adam 204
(beats Joe's previous best of 191)


Collosseum
Sam 96


For Sale
Andrew 68


Galaxy Truckers

Chris 116 (two player)

Lords of Vegas
Joe/Steve 44


Manila
Andrew 139
(Hmmm, we've only played it once, but this is the only way I'll get on the High Score table)


Medici
Adam 120


No Thanks
This may be pre-blog, but I do remember Joe getting negative points once.


Poison
Chris 6 (three players)
Hannah 6 (four players)


Ra
Sam 54 (three players)
Joe 43 (four players)
(Joe snaffles Hannah's high score of 40 away from her)


Santiago
Steve 113


Seven Wonders
Sam 73 (two players)
Adam 63 (more than two players)


Stone Age
Chris 318 (two players)
Sam 265 (three players)
Adam 183 (four players)


Ticket to Ride
Adam 131


Tinners’ Trail
Sam 154 (three players)
(Sam just squeezes past his own previous best by four points)
Sam 115 (four players)


Trans America
Adam 0


Trans Europa
Sam 1 (three player)
Paul 3 (four player)


Wallenstein
Anja/Steve 57
(Steve won the game by a tie-breaker, but as far as the High Score table is concerned, 57 points is 57 points)


* The Q-system: Winner gets 7 points, plus the number of players, divided by two (ie, coming first in a six player game: 7+6/2=6.5 points). Second place gets one point less, etc.

  1. Thanks Andrew. I love a stat, especially when it makes me feel a bit better about my recent performance - all down to the appendix, you understand...
