+Here's that [long-promised write-up](/post/2022/07/organizing-the-boardgame-shelf-with-tom) of our 2022 board game cupboard clearance--yay, lists! Yay, statistics! Since I've never done this kind of post before, it might be best to start off with a list---obviously---of everything we own, _after_ cleaning up. From hereon, we could go forward with a yearly post discussing the delta's: the old games that left the closet and the new games that entered it. This has been a small side project for a few weeks: throwing and rearranging out everything, carefully constructing a list, adding color-coded scores, applying some statistics, scrolling through others' GeekLists, thinking about what to buy next, ...---all these things made me happy, so mission accomplished. 
+
+![](../boardgames.jpg "'The List' in the making, and the cleaned up board game shelves, with the crossed-out games given the boot. I did my best to hide all Magic stuff.")
+
+Since I had to digitize the list anyway to gather some more interesting insights, here's a crude table with columns as follows: game name, BoardGameGeek average score (`1-10`), own score (`4`: Great!, `3`: Good, `2`: Average, `1`: Bad, see my [grading systems discussion](/post/2022/07/grading-systems)), BoardGameGeek weight (`1-5`), estimated plays (From `++`; played a lot, to `-`; barely played[^ply]). 
+
+[^ply]: I know you can keep track of your plays with your BoardGameGeek account. I gave up a long time ago, so these are estimated guesses put into three rough categories.

+
+I had some "research questions" (this _academitis_ fever is getting worse, sorry) that might accompany the data so I came up with two scatter plots: one with BGG's average score and one with my own rating applied to each game. The symbols and colors encode the plays column: red/upside-down triangle is barely played (`-`), orange/block is played quite a bit (`_`) and the green/upwards-pointing triangle represents many plays (`++`):
+
+![](../bggstats.jpg "A scatter plot of scores (x-axis) and game weight (y-axis) with plays encoded in the symbol.")
+
+All right, so what does that teach us?
+
+1. BoardGameGeek's opinion nicely overlaps with mine. Correlations between the BGG score and my own score are as follows, grouped per play symbol `-`, `+`, and `++` respectively: **0.74, 0.94, 0.86**. Those are some surprisingly strong correlations! Some games though, such as Labyrinth, Guillotine, and Al-Cabohne, I rate (much) higher than the BGG community does. (I like planting beans. Sorry!)
+2. There seems to be a relation between weight and BGG score---at least for the games in my collection. Indeed: **0.63**, a moderate to strong correlation.
+3. What's up with all those red triangles floating on top of the rest? The heavier a game, the **less likely it sees the table**! I know many people judge the staying power of a board game by the amount of times it is actually played, but I disagree. My wife dislikes heavy hitters such as Fields of Arle while I _love_ them. Since we mostly play together, the simpler games also see a fair bit of playtime. That could also mean that...
+4. Since I also tend to rate heavier games higher (same correlation, **0.63**), I urgently need to meet up more with friends to play the heavier games in the `-` range! _"We should make this a recurring thing."_ For how long have we been saying that now?
+5. Judging from the second plot, there are too many games I don't like still in this list, and don't even see many play time. Again, this is a bit unfair since (1) my wife likes nostalgic simple games like _Dead End Drive_ or _Ramses_, even though we don't play them often. This is my personal score, not hers, and we obviously collectively own everything.
+
+Okay, I know it, the graph shows it, the photograph shows it... We'll have to talk about the elephant in the room: the overload of Euro _Uwe Rosenberg_ games that are heavy and never see play. There are still games in the closet that need to be replayed and then perhaps let go of: _Le Havre_ (too similar to _Agricola_ and _Arle_), _Nightfall_ (_Dominion_ with direct interaction and weird chaining that my play group doesn't like), _Carson City_ (yet another worker placement game that's better with 3, but I love the theme), some only mildly entertaining smaller card games we're not yet sure of, etc.
+
+I tried including a "optimal number of players" property in there, but it would be a bit too much. A quick count says the following about the collection:
+
+1. 26 out of 45 games (`58%`) play great with two players. We try to keep an eye on that.
+2. 15 games (`33%`) are card-based. I love card games. Excluding Magic, of course. 
+3. Only `24%` of our games see regular play (`++`). `20%` now and then (`+`), and `56%` almost never (`-`). Ouch.  This again isn't a very accurate statistic: we bought _The Quest for El Dorado_ last week and so far we think it's awesome but it's obviously only seen play three or so times. It's a fairly telling estimation though.
+
+The following games were cleared out for this 2022 edition: Amon-Ra, Rock, Paper, Wizard, Waku-Waku, Revolver, Stratego Legends, Cottage Garden, King of Tokyo, Cartagena, The Big Book of Madness, Spyfall 2, Exploding Kittens, Escape the Labyrinth, Munchkin Cthulhu. 
+
+So what's next? I just ordered Jaipur and Dice Realms! I was on the edge between Dice Realms and Roll for the Galaxy, which I played and loved, but since I already own _Race_, it would probably see more "shelf time" than "table time". Do you have any recommendations based on the above list? I'd love to hear about your collection! 
+
+Dang it, now I need to make a top 5 or top 10... I'll leave that for Christmas.
