Have you ever wondered what those #EloRatings on #BoardGameArena are and what they mean? I've explained them at exhausting length in my latest blog post: https://blog.recommend.games/posts/elo-ratings-explained/ #BoardGames #Elo

If you enjoy playing simple roll-and-write games on BGA, and would enjoy playing a few games of 'Splitter' in big groups to learn/explore together, join my tournament above. 
La journée commence bien. Et ce, en battant un joueur plus motivé pour tenter de te bloquer que de gagner, ce sont d'ailleurs mes adversaires préférés, car ceux contre lesquels je gagne le plus. Donc, c'est pas que je sois meilleur qu'eux, c'est juste qu'ils sont plus mauvais que moi ! 
Currently at 95.0/100 new #boardgames for 2024. There's two more currently in progress on #boardgamearena, and I assume the other three will be similarly light, so I suspect I can call it for the year in terms of top X retrospectives.
(As usual, my sorting of #AeonsEnd plays by nemesis is splitting the count over multiple items, but if they were all together they'd be most played at around 360.)
I'm playing #HeatPedalToTheMetal on #BoardGameArena and it's pretty fun!
Il propose enfin aussi de retirer de BGA les jeux très peu joués. Leur absence de public les rend de toute façon difficile d'accès. Intriguant point de vue.

The last time I posted about this here, I met some great folks who became a regular little 4 person gaming group. Is there anyone who'd like to play games on Board Game Arena? It's free, and if you play with a Premium member, you can access all the games. The library is actually really big! HMU if you'd like a chill, async online board game friend.

Started playing a new game on #BoardGameArena called Draft and Write Records.
You draft cards in order to build out a "crew" (essentially a band) and go out on tour, cut singles, and other things to gain star power to win.
Anyone else tried it, or even the physical version?
I got to 43/100 new #boardgames for the year by the end of June. Looks like I can probably make it. (Thanks #BoardGameArena.)
Not much in the way of old-games-I've-been-reminded-I-liked this month, so:
Best new-to-me (gaming): ?????????
Best new-to-me (vibes): ??????? ???????

Why is it so hard to get a game of #ChicagoExpress happening on #BoardGameArena? It's a gem!
Oooh, I remember seeing @olivvybee talk about Trailblazers the other day... and it just landed on BGA :D Guess I'll have to have a look at that then :P
Pax Renaissance neu auf #BoardGameArena — Regeln grob überflogen; na dann, mal schauen, wie viele Übungsspiele ich brauche :D
I want to help my co-designer make an awesome community for BGA-alpha-testing our game.
After UKGE, we'll ask folk to fill a form. We're trying to vet for the loveliest folk because we want to make it so you can play with anyone and be confident of meeting someone wonderful.
We'll keep it as a 'private alpha' group for maybe a year.
I'd love to hear what you think could help ensure we make an awesome community.
Hehe, hat geholfen.
Siege sind ja eher zweitrangig, aber den 100. in Penny Press wollte ich dann doch haben. (Und 8. Platz auf der Weltrangliste ;) #BoardGameArena #Brettspiele
