BoardGameVp

For the slightly board game obsessed

Is 80 points a good score?

You won. Nice. But was it actually a good score, or did everyone just have a bad night? BoardGameVp digs through plays logged on BoardGameGeek and tells you how many points people really score in a game, at every player count.

Android app, now in closed testing on Google Play. Free during the beta.

Score distribution

80 VP beats the average of 72 for two players. The busiest range is 59 to 89 points.

Questions you ask yourself anyway

If at least one of these went through your head at the table, this app is for you.

Before the game

  • How many points do people usually score in this one?
  • Is that 5 VP contract worth grabbing, or should I look for something better?

Average, range and full score distribution for your player count. Once you know the table usually ends around 70, you know what 5 points are worth.

After the game

  • So how did I do?
  • I won, but was it a good score or just a weak table?

Switch to winners only and see what it usually takes to win. Your own average sits right next to the community one.

About your friends

  • What do my friends score in this game?
  • Have they played it more times than I have?
  • What have they been playing lately?

Type in their BGG usernames or import your buddy list. Compare scores and play counts, and see their latest plays.

No, it's not another BG Stats clone

Play loggers are great, keep yours. BoardGameVp answers a different question and doesn't want you to log anything.

A play logger

  • You record every play yourself
  • Tells you about you: play counts, win rate, H-index
  • Your history, your collection

BoardGameVp

  • Nothing to record: it reads plays other people already logged on BGG
  • Tells you about the game: what everyone scores at 2, 3, 4 or more players
  • Your scores and friends come as a bonus, next to the community numbers

They even get along: if your logger syncs plays to BGG, they show up in BoardGameVp too.

One game, every player count

Pick a game, pick how many people sat at the table, and switch between all players and winners only.
