Excessive gain and loss of elo points at coloretto

Post by gilco »

Having played a few games, I find it strange that loss or gain of points for a player can be of more than 50 points for a game, even 80 points for the winner in a recent game, whereas all players levels were around 100 to 200 points.
It seems way beyond all other games. May be something is wrong about the way it takes account of the score difference at the end of the game ?

ELO gain/loss is the same for any game here on the website. You almost surely played with people who were newer to the game. For any game, during the first ten games you play ELO gain/loss is multiplied by a factor of 3 compared to normal, and during the next ten ten games there is a factor of 2 compared to the standard. Winning a 4 player game with players of a similar ELO level can definitely gain you 20-30 points, so if this happens during your first ten games it's not uncommon to gain 60-90 points of ELO in a single game.
