What's your H-index?

Reposted from Peter McPherson 🔜 Unpub Fest

I don't track my game stats beyond plays, but I deeply enjoy tracking my H-index (the # of games I have played that number of times).

My H-index recently hit 27—I have played 27 games 27 times!

What's your board game H-index?

Wow, we have 78 plays of Castles of Burgundy and I thought that was a lot!

boardgamehottakes.bsky.social•95 days ago

During Covid we had one other adult in our pod and that was mostly all she wanted to play so we played a lot. Somehow it hasn't lost its luster and I still play it whenever I can.

My H-index is also 26. My most played game is Sea Salt and Paper. I include BGA games in my logged plays

It’s 21 on the app, but I didn’t do a great job logging in ‘21-22 and didn’t log at all pre-‘19. There are definitely 3-4 more games that would be in the 25+ range if I’d been more thorough.

My most played:

Dominion
7Sins!
Patchwork
Food Fight (2012)
Sagrada

I don't know 7 Sins or Food Fight! Tell us about them!

bolnerap.bsky.social•93 days ago

Sure. I'll start with Food Fight. That's a Cryptozoic card game from the days when they weren't just churning out DC Deckbuilder reskins.

You get a hand of 9 cards of anthropomorphic food troops and Instant cards. Troops are themed around breakfast/lunch/dinner and each have a power value.

bolnerap.bsky.social•93 days ago

You pick 5 troops and which meal you're fighting over, then shuffle your troops and play it out like War. But, the cards can combo off each other (e.g. having a General Chicken on board boosts Private Waffle if it comes out later, Pancakes stack up to boost each other).

bolnerap.bsky.social•93 days ago

Very silly and has wild swings, but knowing your odds and combos can help.

A lot of the jokes and references are very 2012, mostly in a bad way. There's culturally insensitive artwork I'm surprised made it through even then, and it would definitely need overhauling for a rerelease.

bolnerap.bsky.social•93 days ago

As for 7 Sins, it's a party game for 3-7 players that was a locally-produced failed Kickstarter back in 2015. I happened across one of the pre-production prints at my FLGS garage sale. All the cards are suited as one of the 7 deadly sins, ranging in value from 1-7.

Just 20, but I've only been logging regularly since 2021

List of my top 10 most logged played games

boardgamehottakes.bsky.social•95 days ago

I assume you’re tracking BGA plays also? I did in 2022 but decided to only track in person plays when I started tracking again this year:

chrisinhm.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah, I track it all now (except play testing). BGA plays are way down this year (especially since the end of summer) - only 4 games in the last 2 weeks. I actually play more in person now.

boardgamehottakes.bsky.social•95 days ago

Started in 2018 myself but I don’t think anything prior to 2018 would have changed these numbers for me.

chrisinhm.bsky.social•95 days ago

Mine would change a lot. Didn't log any of my complete Gloomhaven campaign, or a few Charterstone campaigns. Definitely many more plays of Wingspan, TTR, Catan, West/North games, Carcassonne, and Isle of Cats that I think would have put all of them in or near top 10 most played and of course MtG

murromega.bsky.social•95 days ago

Well I'm just lack luster. LOL

boardgamehottakes.bsky.social•95 days ago

Just probably means you're playing a lot more variety of games! Nothing lackluster about it!

omnomgmr.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm at an H-Index of 10 for in person plays.

I tend to lean more towards playing games that are new (to me at least). I have at least one play of 500+ titles.

hoppities.bsky.social•95 days ago

I only began tracking in the past couple of years, and I don't get nearly as many games as you gents. My H-index is 15.

Most played:
Azul - 79
7 Wonders Architects - 69
Castles of Burgundy - 53
7 Wonders Duel - 48
Turing Machine - 42
Great Western Trail - 27

Carcassonne should really be ~300-400

bdegroot.bsky.social•95 days ago

My H-index is 27.

boardgamehottakes.bsky.social•95 days ago

You got me by 1!
