Board Game Arena

I conducted a large cohort study where I evaluated the average level of Bang! players on BGA Arena in the 6-player format. The methodology was as follows. First, I downloaded the full list of participants from Season 24 of Bang! Arena. Then I had to clean the overall player pool a bit: I removed pla...

BIG UPDATE I collected a database in which I researched over 9,000 samples of Sheriff games. I’ll make a separate post about the database methodology. In this post specifically, I want to update some numbers that were previously based mostly on intuition. I used to assume that the average Sheriff w...

WOrking on average arena player (field) database, see u soon!

Probably also a place for the general forums. Bang is one of the more commonly cheated games, but it's far from the only one. Still this.

Main numbers: https://i.gyazo.com/6aa41751dcf81a1a640534c3baf7f40a.png In the video, I go over: representative win rates by role some of the more meaningful hero win rates by role, especially for Outl...

I would like to understand how the punishment system works for confirmed cheating. For example, earlier this season I reported a dishonest player several times. After the first report, he was found guilty of boosting his Arena Elo with the help of a second account, which either helped him win or pre...

Hi everyone I've noticed that a lot of players are fairly or unfairly winning Bang Elo top 1 or Bang arena top 1 but I didn't noticed any player who won Bang Elo 500. Or in some games players have Elo more than 1000 or highest Elo I've ever seen 8699. So I'm interested why is it so hard. List of pl...
