How to get points. Three simple steps:
1. Find a game and someone to play with
2. Play the Game
3. Report the results
It’s that simple! Oh, you want more, then read our handy how to play guide.
Each game is worth a number of points depending on the number of players. For example in a three player game the winner receives 3 points, the second player 2, the last player 1. For longer games a time-based modifier is applied.
For example the game Power Grid has a x2 modifier, so in the case above the winner would receive instead 6 points, the second player 4, and the last player 2.
All scores are held on a club computer and will be displayed on the Game of Games tab once we are up and running with the system. In addition to paying games at club meetings and Winter Retreat, you can also earn organiser points and league organiser points.
Every club game has a modifier between 1 (short games) and 8 ( we have some really long games). The modifiers for some of our more popular games is given below. You can ask after the modifier of any game during a club meeting. The modifier is 1 per hour or part that the game takes to play according to its box. Where a range is given, always use the higher number. For example a game with a 60-80 minute playing time on the box would have a x2 modifier. The ‘official’ playing time is what is always used, rather than the actual time the game takes to play.

Small World 2
Thunderstone 1
Power Grid 2

Current Standings (updated February 2013)
Standings are shown with the highest rank first. Ranks are only shown once one or more members have gained that rank. There are usually two rank badges per rank, the one shown corresponds to the person with the highest points in that rank. So if the most points within the Duke/Duchess rank are held by a female club member, then the Duchess rank badge will be shown. If by a male club member, then Duke.

Only with board games????
No, notice the presence of Magic: The Gathering, Thunderstone (card games) and Dystopian Wars (miniatures) in the short list above.
What about Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh
All games have a modifier. check the list on Sunday. those above are just example, since we have over 300!
Hi Peter,
We can easily accomodate Pkemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. If the product nominates an average playing time we will use that – if not, let us know what you believe the average playing time of a game is.
Regards,
Keith
Twilight Imperium is only a 4???
Beleive it or not the box says it’s a three to four hour game! We could make it a 5 though.
My points seem to be missing?
I played at least 15 games over winter retreat but I haven’t moved from my previous points total of 44 … Most of them were played with Daniel McG, I filled out all the sheets and he moved up 40+ points.
HI Andrew, yes I have your points but you haven’t renewed your membership for 2012 yet. They will be added when you do – you got 35 points all up, not counting any games that finished after 12.30.
That’s weird. I transferred money to pay for both winter retreat and membership renewal at the same time. I’ll talk to Keith and see if I can get it sorted.
I’ll email Keith, and get you updated today Andrew
Pending a response from Keith I’ve updated you Andrew, and Rory and Lauren as well. Cheers
The points for Andrew B and Vanessa T are missing. We both renewed our membership at the Winter Retreat.
Your points have been added up, I will add you both to the list tonight. You’re both Knights from memory.
Thanks
