Viewing all tables of a game

I'd like to look at a list of all the tables played for a game, in a convenient (ideally searchable) way. Is there a way to get this data?

Two things I've tried but are not what I need:

* If I go to my own game history for a game, there's an option to select another player or choose "anyone". However, the "anyone" link just gives me my own games again.

* On a game page, there's a clickable link for "Number of Games Played" that gives you the last 10 games. From there I can click to find the next 10, then the next 10. This is the data I want, Bbt I want to get through 1000s and this is not a good way to do that!

Thanks for any help!

I don't know of any other way to do so. But why would you like to see a list of - let's say, all the 68.862 games of Viva Catrina? What exactly do you want to search for? If you tell us, maybe we can find you another way to reach that.

Well for example, if you are invested in the current arena season, you may want to see all the arena games playing right now. It would even be nice to be able to sort by current arena score, as it would give you a list of the games to watch to see the top players battling for the top spots.

I always found it weird that the "spectate game" feature simply links to a totally unorganized list of games. It makes its use limited (although it's nice to just watch random real time games when you are bored or when you want to see if you might like a game).

You can see all tabels of a game played at the moment, for example all tabels of Harmonies https://boardgamearena.com/gametables?game=2035&all, but unfortunately there is no way to filter them.

If you want to check the games of current arena top players, I suggest to check the arena ranking, e. g. for Harmonies player andyxdz is leading. You can go to their profile and check their last Harmonies games: https://boardgamearena.com/gamestats?pl ... me_id=2035

I think there'd be lots of cool stuff to find if the data was easier to browse. For non-nefarious, but secret (and not very interesting) reasons, I would like to find someone who played a solo game of Draft and Write Records within the last couple of months, is from the USA with an account started this calendar year, and scored 62pts. Failing that, approximately 62 would be useful.

This is only a passing interest though. If the data were accessible, I'm sure lots more interesting questions could be answered.

That you'll never be able to know. BGA does not have that information. At most you can find someone who has set "I live in" to USA in their profile.

Yes, that's all I meant. Should've been clearer, sorry.

I can't help you at all I'm afraid, but the specificity of this made me smile.
