A ranking system for your board game nights

Catan, Wingspan, or whatever is on the table this week. Custom Elo Games tracks your group's results and keeps a leaderboard that is always current, so who is actually best stops being an unresolvable argument.

The problem

Most groups either track nothing at all or rely on somebody's memory of who won last time. Neither answers the real question, because the person who wins most is often just the person who turns up most. A raw win count quietly ranks availability.

What you get instead

• Log a result after each game in a few taps, while everyone is still at the table.
• A result can have up to ten sides, so a six-player free-for-all is one entry rather than a pile of one-on-ones.
• Ratings account for who you beat, so beating the group's strongest player is worth more than beating a first-timer.
• Track everything in one Game for a single combined leaderboard, or make a separate Game per title if you would rather keep Catan and Wingspan apart.

Free, and quick to start

• Free to use, with no card and no trial to run out.
• A Game takes about a minute to set up: name it, add names, log a result.
• Ratings are worked out with the published Elo formula — you can check any change yourself on the Elo calculator.
