Yet more Essen scouting

Fairplay posted a substantial update to the scouting report, now with data through the end of Friday. With the time change, I imagine the Saturday-ending update ought to be out soon, too. There'll be one more on Sunday, but I bet the ratings are already starting to settle down. The current set of data has at least ten ratings for each game. Now the best and best-missed games appear to be...

Winners (rating 8+): Ys, Louis XIV, Oltremare
Losers (rating 5-): Popeln, Submarine

Gosh, not many titles despite there being much more data. I expect that's because the ratings are normalizing around 6-8, just like they do on Boardgamegeek. That's the middle part of the bell curve, where almost all games end up. I think for my next look at the data I'll reach down to rating 7 and up for winners, and to 6 and below for "losers."
