Board Game Arena

I'm fairly sure this is not possible and game tables are sandboxed for good reasons, but is there any way for game code to record / retrieve data outside of just the current table / game?

The game stats are write-only I believe.

I had a question from a game designer about using player choices from previous games to affect scoring on the current table of a game.

Hi,

Don't think it's possible. Also how can it be fair in term of arena / ELO?
Like the first player ever to do something will earn more victory points than the other doing this combo later on? =/

This looks like a campaign. You may want to look into the Legacy games API described on this page https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Main_ ... e.game.php

Thanks, that's very interesting but in this case the designer was wanting to use all previous game data to get a kind of crowd-sourced ranking of available choices, not specific to any one past or present player.

I think something like this has been done for Trek 12 (using player id 0) to propose rankings in solo mode, so you might want to check this project on the studio.
