Board Game Arena

Great implementation - I've only just picked up the physical version on a whim a week ago.

Perhaps I am missing something, but why is it that we don't get a "score" as such at the end of the game, but rather everyone gets 1 and then the Fame score decides the overall winner?
When playing in IRL and keeping stats, I have noted players fame score as their "final score" for the sake of averages and the like. I have noticed that when importing plays from BGA to BGStats that it does not affect or alter my average score stats at all, which is nice (as otherwise, the BGA scores of 1, regardless of the result, would lower your overall score average), however, I would prefer it to be the actual score from the final round.

I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation as to why this is the case, just curious to know what that is.

There is a reasonable explanation and that is ties, the score determines who wins the game. But if you tie on a Final Flip, the tied players will need to redo the final flip, if that redo final flip ends up with a lower score then a player who was eliminated in the first Final Flip, that player should still be ranked higher than that player. You can find all the final flip scores in the stats overview.

That does make sense. I have not had that occur in the couple of IRL games, so I see your point. It is a shame that there is not a better way so to keep more accurate stats, but it isn't that big of a deal either (although stats are pretty cool )
