Scorecard Review – April 2014

This is the first year anniversary of my scorecard review.  It has been an interesting year.  Let’s look at how April went.

April

In April I was able to play 25 games at 8 events for an average of 3.13 games per event.  I was able to achieve the average of 3 games per event which had eluded me for months.

I won 8 games in April which was an increase of 1 win over March.  I came in second 6 times, third 7 times, fourth 3 times, and fifth 1 time.  My average standing from April was 2.32 compared to the 2.23 I had in March.

I played 3 games more than once in April:  Alhambra, Trans Europa, and Zahlen-Mobile.

I played 8 games for the first time in April:  Deeku, Knockout, Mythe, New Haven, The Adventurers: The Temple of Chac, The Doom that Came to Atlantic City, Wurfel Bohnanza, and Zahlen-Mobile.

Year to Date

I have played 83 games at 31 events for an average of 2.68 games per event.  This is up 0.16 games per event since the end of March.

I have won 23 games year to date.  My current standing for the year is 2.37 which remained the same from the end of March.

My stats for the five games I have played the most this year to date are:

Game	No. of Plays	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	Avg.
Trans Europa	6	3	2	1	-	-	-			1.67

Lifetime

Since I started tracking my game plays I have played 231 games at 100 events for an average of 2.31 games per event.

I have won 53 games and have a lifetime standing of 2.44.

The five games I have played the most are:

Game	No. of Plays	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	Avg.
Iron Dragon	11	3	3	4	1	-	-			2.27
Empire Builder	10	1	2	5	1	1	-			2.90
India Rails	9	1	4	4	-	-	-			2.33
Martian Rails	9	2	4	3	-	-	-			2.11
Russian Railroads	9	2	4	3	-	-	-	-	-	2.11

I maintained a good win ration again in April but when I did lose a game I did manage to lose big.  I had more fourth and fifth places that I cared to have.  I only played three games more than once in April but one of them I played six times.

I have not had 10 plays of a single game this year yet.  I am above the half way mark on Trans Europa so that may be the first.  We will have to see what May brings.
