I just want to "humble brag" that I finally achieved my personal goal: 100 ELO on all games on BGA (as of now, that's 348 games, including betas).

It was an incredible odyssey that took me ~8 months, and I'm unabashedly proud of myself.

It was unbelievably rewarding. I would strongly encourage anyone looking to enrich their BGA experience to try something similar: try to get 100 ELO ("regular player" status) on 50... 100... 200+ games. Especially if you consider yourself more of a "breadth" player instead of a "depth" player as I do.

95% of the games were played real-time with a stranger (just clicking "[Play now]") and typically 2-player as that's what often happens with real-time. There were a few games that were near impossible to find strangers to play with me, so I had to twist the arms of some of my friends to play some of the more obscure games or games that require 4+ players (and I am very grateful for their service).

Wow, that's really is an achievement. I mean reading through all this rulebooks alone is pretty time consuming. Good job!

You are also perhaps the only one to win in all BGA games (without using hotseat mode).

Wow. Well done.

Good job. I admire the commitment. What was your favorite game?

Yes I was thinking the same. Do you plan on making a list with most / least favourite games and the like?

Congrats, this is quite the achievement! That is a lot of different games to learn

That's really cool, congratulations! I'm still working on my goal of playing every game on BGA, 100 ELO takes a lot more dedication, I think.

Is there games you didn't like at first, but that the ELO100 challenge made you appreciate?

Cool,

I plan to do the same for all the "abstract strategy" games, but even that is challenging.
To do "all" games must be exhausting ! Congrats
