Board Game Arena

Is there any easy way to download the game logs for a specific game? I can pull up the game and click the tree arrows at the bottom of the game log until the full log is displayed, but that takes forever. Is there a faster way to get this data?

The full log can be found on the replay page you see before accessing the game interface, where you choose which player’s perspective to view the game.

It sounds like you are intending to extract a large number of logs. If so, I should warn that this is not an intended use of the replay system. What will happen is you will quickly hit a server limit and will not be able to view any replays for several days.

I hope that at some point it will be possible to download a large number of anonymized logs for analytical purposes (on topics not generally covered by statistics such as first player advantage), but at the moment this is not possible.
