There's nothing more entertaining than spreadsheets and so, inspired by a comment made by Adam in the "Happy Birthday" post, I've decided to go back and do some divisions for individual games. (Three-player or more only.)
First was
Biblios. Any enigma it may have once held seems to have been cracked by Sam. His winning formula, whatever it is, gives him the win in Points and Points Ratio.
 |
| Biblios |
Next is
Alhambra, won in similar style by Sam. Paul comes in second in his highest performance on any division but perhaps the big surprise (apart from the fact that Hannah hasn't played it) is how well Dirk did: a comfortable mid-table finish for our imaginary friend.

| Alhambra |
Next up are the divisions for
Stone Age and
Tinners' Trail, both won on Points by Sam, and on Points Ratio by Adam.
 |
| Stone Age |
 |
| Tinners' Trail |
Then we come to Adam's two strong suits.
Ticket To Ride and
Brass. He won comprehensively on
Brass, with a series of five wins in a row. I have yet to score higher than last.

| Brass |
 |
| Ticket To Ride |
Onto the division for
7 Wonders. Again, Sam takes the Points title, with Steve taking the crown on Points Ratio. Meanwhile, Joe is yet to take a single win on
7 Wonders in ten attempts. But, no matter. He can cheer himself up with the next division after it.

| 7 Wonders |
Railways of the World is, perhaps, the most exciting division. If you happen to be Joe or Adam. The rivalry between these two is fierce and fearsome, as demonstrated by the fact that apart from them, no one else has won a single game. Joe just wins Points and Points Ratio by the narrowest of margins.

| Railways Of The World |
Meanwhile, early rumours of Joe having won Lords of Waterdeep were wrong. Although, his fledgling points ratio is the best, he's only played two games, so it doesn't count. Sam comes top of a very even table, with Steve winning Points Ratio.
 |
| Lords of Waterdeep |
Finally,
Wallenstein. The two new parents share the honours on this game, Steve on Points, Anja on Points ratio.

| Wallenstein |
And that's all for now. Of course, there are more games to examine in this exciting an fascinating way, but I'll leave those for a sequel to this post.
Beautiful work Andrew. I was getting rather despondent until you got to Railways, and Waterdeep was a surprise for me too - I only remember playing twice...
ReplyDeleteI was confused by your Stone Age totals for us Bracknell lot because it meant no-one had actually won a game and I'm sure we had played a three.
ReplyDeleteHere
Good point, Chris. That zero in the Gold column by your name should be a one. The rest is okay.
ReplyDeleteAnd Joe, I think you've played three. At least, that's what the old spreadsheet says.
No, you're right, Joe. You've only played two, I gave one of Sam's to you. Which means Steve nabs Points Ratio. That's nice. Something to tell his son.
ReplyDeleteMy son is very proud. I can tell by the way he's farting into his nappy. Thanks Andrew for creating such a special moment for us. (And I used to think spreadsheets were dull....)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very impressive piece of work Andrew. I'm pretty pleased with my showing but Adam is looking like the ratio king here with his showings in Tinner's Trail (bah!) Brass (wow) Stone Age (ooh) and Ticket to Ride.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Andrew, really fascinating (especially compared to what I'm supposed to be doing at work this morning).
ReplyDeleteAnd Sam, is that coffee-housing from Mr First-in-five-categories?
I don't remember winning an Alhambra - but willing to take anything in that game...
Lets play Stone Age, Tinners Trail or Brass again soon!
No coffee-housing Ad, genuine admiration. I came top in points ratio on Biblios and Alhambra! Both faves of mine but as measures of tactics/strategy, not big-hitters.
