We have the champion!

From nearly 90 players the champion emerges – Troubleintokyo currently holds the title of The Best Merchant in Istanbul! In the very quick 16-round game he took over Vittorio (2nd place), KingMePlease (3rd place) and the two runner-ups – Pintachan (who was also a finlaist in the 1st tournament) and asturia.

The champion has won the Big Box provided by Pegasus Spiele, and every contestant who reached the Championship Phase receives a code for one of our games of their chosing. If you wish to know about the structure of the event, read this post.

But about the games themselves – we gathered some (hopefully) interesting stats throughout the tournament!

• The average game took 18.39 turns.
• On average players gathered 14.9 rubies per game.
• That gives an average of 0.81 ruby per turn gathered by any player at any given table.
• The average player gathered one ruby per five turns.
• The shortest games took 14 rounds to finish, and there were two of them.
• The longest games took 22 turns to finish and there were two of them as well.
• The most rubies gathered in a single game was 18 – in a 4 person game in the 3rd round – this means two players had 5 rubies, the other two 4 rubies.
• 7 games throughout the tournament ended in a tie, and one of those was resolved via the number of cards player held (so the 2nd tier tiebreaker).

The new champion – Troubleintokyo, only lost one game throughout the tournament, and even that was a tied game and he lost it in tie resolution – by the number of lira the players had at the end.

Those stats were taken from mostly 4 player games (in the first three Rounds) and 3-5 player games (in the Championship Round), where the average number of players per table throughout the tournament equals 3.92.

If this at all sparks your interest – be on the lookout! The next event will be in, roughly, half a year, after the release of Concordia: Digital Edition and will involve, naturally, Concordia itself!
