Tournament voting

BlogNomic players take part in occasional tournaments on BoardGameArena, taking a poll for games to play. This is a living list of voting emoji for those tournaments, to be pasted onto Discord for polls:

Feel free to add any suitable games that you think are worth playing. Tournaments are generally two-player - we can do 3+ player ones, but should probably be wary about those with a lot of short turns, as they'll take a while spread across timezones.

BlogNomic Random Tournaments

Starting in August 2023, BlogNomic is playing a number of tournaments of randomly selected two-player games from the BGA collection. On Discord, in the #online-board-games channel, react to the pinned message to opt-in to a role that will be pinged when new tournament signups are available.

Ground rules for those tournaments are (and by all means propose amendments on Discord):

  • Each tournament is a random game from the page at https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?specificTag=30
  • On selecting the game and announcing it to the Discord, anyone who has played it before can immediately choose to veto and force a reroll
  • If there aren't any vetoes within ten minutes, the tournament opens
  • Players can only join a BN Random tournament if they have never played the game before
  • Players are only allowed to read the game's rules: they cannot read up on strategy tips, or play any practice games
  • First tournament was Single Elimination, but Swiss might be better in future

Would be good to extract a canonical list of games so that we can veto in advance, but I'm not seeing an immediately obvious way to scrape that data out of BGA's web pages.
