What is the shortest game that you have ever played on Ark Nova? (to the end)

Mine just ended in 23 turns (opponent conceded after I triggered the end). Everything just went to perfection with the reef abilities!

Yeah, everything lined up perfectly.
Opponent not taking away Sea Animal Managegement Plan seems like a mistake on their part, but on the other hand the game was already over at that point.

23 is fantastic! Not sure if its the lowest ever (my lowest is 25). IIRC, someone is tracking the lowest number of turns for each map. I thought it was posted either here in the BGA ark nova forums or maybe in the nowonders forums. But I can't find it now. Anyone have a link?

BlanketAddict has a spreadsheet that tracks all fastest games. Until recently there were 2 (or 3?) 21 turn games which was the record. There has been a 20 turn game in MW recently albeit against a very weak opponent that apparently helped a bit (didn't watch the replay myself):

Thanks, I believe I saw the spreadsheet posted online somewhere. Do you by any chance know what the link is?

BlanketAddict is not keeping track of any MW games, before there's a sudden influx of people submitting games ;)

Thanks! That tracks some awesome achievements - some that I didn't think were possible in a real game.
