Boardgamegeek ratings list

In the very awesome Patreon-supporters chat last night, I asked if there was a geeklist for HC ratings. PS - This is a public service. Weight is not actually defined at BGG so different people have different ideas of what it means. The Game Play Weight is selected from a Drop Down List. Your Game Play Weight rating is automatically saved when you make a . The list , in many ways, dictates board-game culture.

Gloomhaven (Geek Rating ) benefits from ratings that are extremely heavy on the 10s — more than half of its raters gave it that maximum score. If you look at a list of games within BGG you may see a BGG Rating number between and 10. Most of the time, the BGG Rating number will be different from the User and Average Ratings. If you are considering buying a game, you owe it to yourself to check out BGG.

Grante the list of top- rated games tends to lean a bit more toward the serious- gamer crowd. But you can use the advanced search feature to look for “light” games with high average ratings , and then sort the by Bayesian . Type a BGG username in each box to calculate the correlation between the ratings of the two users. Because the process is fairly heavy . You can filter your collection by the number of players, rating and play time. If an error of any sort occurs . In addition to the game database, the site allows users to rate games on a 1–scale . There are two scores - geek rating and avg rating.

The geek rating is designed to stop games that have few votes from getting to the top of the list. This actually works quite well as I can specify that I want to browse a list sorted by number of ratings , in descending order, and in this way I can cut off the scraping when I reach whatever ratings sparsity I want (maybe somewhere around 1ratings per game?). The ranking list on BGG is a great tool and one I use often. However, this does not mean that a ranking system is a flawless tool that perfectly decides what makes a good game.

Using rankings and ratings , especially those on BGG , to decide what is a good game for you is dubious at best. Let us know what games you would add to the list , by leaving a comment below: Share. Generate a custom menu from popular board games.
