database of played games

[simblanko]

Hello!

I am quite a data nerd and I wanted to check played games to calculate some statistics (such as in game X starting player wins N% of times). I can go to players' profiles and check their played games, record the data I want and then look for another game.

Is there however a more centralized database of old games? I want to speed up the search and avoid biases in the sample selection

Thanks!!!!

Go to the games page
In the information about the game there is a "see more" link
Click on the total number of games played.

I don't think there's any way to sort by amount of players or settings, but it will list every finished game.

I would love to be able to do some regex magic on a large trove of anonymized JSON notification logs, but unfortunately there isn't a framework supported means to extract them. As a user, attempting to access a statistically significant amount of replays in a short amount of time will cause you to hit a limit.

I attempted to do what you are describing to analyze the last player disadvantage with Kingdom Builder, and hit that limit after 107 replays, and was unable to view any replays for some time afterward.

Thanks for your prompt replies! I should have checked the forum beforehand. I should have known other players had attempted this.
