BlogNomic on BoardGameArena

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:

6️⃣ 6 Nimmt / 🗿 7 Wonders Architects / ⚔️ 7 Wonders Duel / 🍎 Applejack / 🟥 Azul / 🔙 Backgammon / 🐻 Bärenpark / 🐱 Boop / 🐰 Bunny Kingdom / 🧑‍🌾 Carcassonne / 🏡 Castles of Burgundy / 🖼️ Caper: Europe / 🥣 Century: Spice Road / ☯️ Chakra / 🔱 Conspiracy / 🕵️ District Noir / 🧚 Fairy Trails / 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Haggis / *️⃣ Hex / 🐝 Hive / 💡 Innovation (no expansions) / 🔊 Innovation (Echoes expansion) / 🏺 Innovation (Artifacts expansion) / 🌇 Innovation (Cities expansion) / 🏰 Kingdom Builder / 👑 Kingdomino / Ⓜ️ Machiavelli / 🌒 Nova Luna / 🪡 Patchwork / 🧙 Res Arcana / 🏗️ Santorini / 🪙 Scopa / 🧂 Sea Salt & Paper / 🐕 Spots / 💎 Splendor / 🍣 Sushi Go Party / 🚩 Tapestry / 🧌 Tash-Kalar / 🎷 Uptown / 🐦 Wingspan

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 list at BlogNomic_on_BoardGameArena/RandomGameList (derived from https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?specificTag=30), selecting from games that nobody has flagged as being a game they have already played.
• Players can only join a BN Random tournament if they have never played the game before.
• Players unfamiliar with a game are only allowed to read the game's rules: they cannot read up on strategy tips, or play any practice games.
• Tournaments will run in the Swiss format.
