No "average winning score" or "average score" in stats -- why not?

Post by cdunc123 »

For all of the games that I have played on BGA, I can click on "my statistics for this game" and find out lots of data. For instance, I can compare how my score for this or that sub-element of a game compared to how winners of the game score for that sub-element. That's great.

HOWEVER, two statistics that I have not been able to find in ANY game on BGA = average total score for all players, and average total winning score. It's odd to me that I can find data for sub-elements of the game but not data for the total score of the game.

I realize that not all games yield a unitary score, and for such games an average total score does not make much sense. But many, many do result in a single total score for each player, and for those games I would be very curious to learn average scores of all players and average scores of winners. (E.g. my family and I play a lot of simple games like Knister and Super Mega Lucky Box, and I would be curious to learn what a winning score for those games typically is.)

Am I overlooking some way to find this data on BGA?

Does anyone else wish this data were a standard part of a game's statistics table on BGA?

As far as I know, the statistics are up to the developer (except for the cryptic and mostly meaningless "Thinking time", "Time bonus number" and "Reflexion time standard deviation"). Terraforming Mars, for example, seems to have total score ("VP total").
