Badges list

[Aroye]

I'm looking for the list of existing badges for any game. Is anyone know how to get it ?

You mean ones you have won? Click your icon top right and then click the XP number next to it

Thank you for your reply. I was actually wondering about an eventual list of all badges available on BGA (to see the ones that we can get)

Up please. Any ideas ?

I don't think there are game specific badges. That is, all games give rewards for the same things, with the obvious exceptions that number counts can be different for different games (like numbers of leagues), and that each game will have its own tournaments.

If you've played a game a lot, chances are you've already earned all the different "types" of badges you can get for a game. The difficult part is getting to the highest possible badge in each category.

As for the general badges, it would be difficult to come up with an exhaustive list, because some of them are very well hidden.

Few days ago I was exploring similar matter. So maybe that will help:
https://boardgamearena.com/award?game=2181&award=37
Changing 37 to a different numbers you will see different types of awards and players who has them. Some of them are, I'm guessing from old versions of BGA ranking system so doesn't apply anymore but rest are good.

To get to a link for desired game go to that game page, click on any award you have (first win for example) and just change "award=X" to next number to see different types of badges.

That is half-true. Cooperative games doesn't have many badges. For what reason? Just because. They could have but it is turned OFF. So only way to get a badge "X win in row" for coop is BUG. (I know that happened at least once).

Here is the most comprehensive list that I've seen for BGA and game-specific badges:

Co-ops and solo games have been weird for me for victory counts and badges:

Solo examples:
- For Northwood!, for example, says 0 wins on the top level of my profile (XP section), but if I click into that game, and then to the second level deep to show the list of games played of it, it will tell me 1 victory. I did NOT get the first victory badge for this one.
- Grove, as another solo is the same. I did NOT get the first victory badge for this one.
- A sister game to Grove, Orchard, I have 5 victories and 5 plays and I did get a badge for playing 5 times, but NOT the first win one even though I've won 5 times.

Co-op examples:
- Pandemic shows my victories at the top level of the profile, XP section, but when drilling down, it says 0 victories. The opposite of the solo example above. Both games played and victory badges appear for me for this title.
- But Daybreak shows 0 victories at both levels even there is a win in there, for me. I do however have the badge for First Victory for this game. Another player from that same game has 22 victories on the outer "XP" section of their profile, but just 1 victory noted when drilling down, even though they have many, many victories. I do not know if our victorious shared game counted as one of the "victories" or not at either level.

I've given up on trying to make sense of it, and at the time I played Daybreak they were mucking with co-op Elo, stats, and/or something along those lines, often to the chagrin of the players. There are probably still ignored bugs / suggestions filed.

Apparently developers have found out that if you do not tag a solo-only game as "cooperative", it will have elo rankings (all dominated by cheating or obsessed players rushing to the 8700 limit), but it won't award the first victory badge. See https://en.boardgamearena.com/bug?id=122960
