😱 Nearly a week!
Played it a lot on #BGA myself recently and can't wait till the kids turn old enough to get it regularly on the table in real life. sigh

@Suzan @eerko how long do games last for you? For some odd reason I thought Ark Nova took hours.

@gpage @eerko About an hour with just us two.

@Suzan @eerko I was looking through this geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/311605/top-1000-unique-played-games-2022-according-bgg
and was surprised to see that Ark Nova appears to be the #3 most widely played game behind only Wingspan and Azul. I knew that it was very popular but didn't think it would be right up there with Azul just yet.

@zrzz @eerko 246 of those 19,591 plays in 2022 were from us!

But it doesn’t surprise me, Ark Nova won our Most popular new game award in 2022! (https://www.bgstatsapp.com/2022/10/16/most-popular-new-game-award-2022/)

@Suzan @eerko I think the list counts unique players rather than total plays. So it's the number of BGG users who have logged at least one play of the given game which makes it an even more impressive metric.

@zrzz @eerko Ah, missed that, that’s the same as our popularity award then!
