All games with at least 2000 ratings as of January 1, 2023 have collected a total of 15,542,331 ratings. On
average, users gave these games a rating of 7.28.
reactable
If a game is owned, the average rating increases to 7.68, which is a percentage increase of
about
5.2% compared to the overall rating. The owner of a game thus rates it better than the average of all
players.
This finding is not unexpected. There are several conscious and unconscious factors that bring about this
influence. One conscious factor is that gamers are more likely to buy games they think they will like. If
you already know you won't like a game, you won't make a purchase decision in the first place.
Also, games are often bought after they have already been played with others and the game is therefore
already known.
But unconscious factors also play a role. People tend to assign a higher value to things they own than they
would to the same thing in someone else's hands. The often high costs that have gone into a purchase also
have an effect. Thus, if you give a game a bad rating, you are admitting to having made a bad purchase.
It's surprising that over 60% of all reviews are created by owners. Considering that board games are usually
played together and only one person needs to own the game, this value seems high.

Unlike owning a game, not owning it has a negative impact on the rating. The average rating drops to
6.68, which is a percentage decrease of 8.2% compared to the general average. The difference is even
more pronounced when compared to owners' ratings. Owners rate their games about 14.8% better than people who
do not own the game. This corresponds to just under a full point on BGG's rating scale.
This result is also not unexpected. Due to the lack of commitment through ownership, ratings can be given
more objectively. Likewise, a game that could not make a positive impression while playing will not be
purchased afterwards.
Bewertung von Nichtbesitzern im Vergleich zum durchschnittlichen Rating des Spiels
In dieser Kategorie wird analysiert, welche Spiele zwischen der Bewertung von Nichtbesitzern und der
durchschnittlichen Gesamtbewertung besonders auffallen. Betrachtet wird dabei der Unterschied zwischen der
durchschnittlichen Bewertung und der durchschnittlichen Bewertung aller Bewerter als Absolutwert.
Die Unterschiede in den Bewertungen befinden sich zwischen -0,05 und -1,56. Das bedeutet, dass jedes Spiel
von Nichtbesitzern schlechter bewertet wird als von der Gesamtheit aller Spieler. Wie groß der Unterschied
zur durchschnittlichen Bewertung ist, ist dabei jedoch sehr unterschiedlich
Bestbewertete
Diese Spiele werden von Nichtbesitzern am besten bewertet im Vergleich zur durchschnittlichen Bewertung. Das
bedeutet, dass diese Spiele
Unter den 20 bestbewerteten Spielen befinden sich 18 Spiele, welche eine limitierte Wiederspielbarkeit
besitzen. Dies sind vor allem Exit- und Unlock-Spiele. Solche Spiele entstammen der Idee des Escape-Rooms,
in welchem man gemeinsam Rätsel löst. Dieser kooperative Ansatz, bei dem alle Teilnehmer mit denselben
Voraussetzungen in die Aufgabe starten, begünstigen ein angenehmes Erlebnis für alle Teilnehmer. Man gewinnt
oder verliert gemeinsam und arbeitet als Team.
Diese Faktoren begünstigen eine objektive Bewertung der Nichtbesitzer hinsichtlich dieser Art von Spielen.
Aber auch viele Käufer werden in die Gruppe der Nichtbesitzer bei der Bewertungsabgabe zählen. Da man diese
Spiele nur einmal spielen kann, ist der Anreiz sie in der Sammlung zu lassen geringer als bei “klassischen”
Spielen. Kann man die Spiele gar wieder verwenden, besteht die Möglichkeit sie weiterzugeben, anstatt sie
wegzuschmeißen.
Diese Personen, die nicht mehr im Besitz des Spieles sind zählen zu den Nichtbesitzern, obwohl sie das Spiel
gekauft haben und damit hoffentlich Spaß hatten. In dieser Hinsicht könnte also auch wieder der Einfluss des
“eigenen” Spiels in die Bewertung einfließen.
In den Top 20 befinden sich zwei Spiele, die nicht in die Kategorie der limitierten Wiederspielbarkeit
fallen: Hearts und Spades. Beides sind Spiele, welche mit einem klassischen Kartendeck gespielt werden
können. Da man folglich keine eigenständige, klassische Verpackung für diese Spiele hat, wird die Definition
des Besitzens dieser Spiele wahrscheinlich für die meisten Leute eher nicht gegeben sein. Denn dann würde
man jedes Spiel besitzen, welches sich mit einem Deck Karten spielen lässt. Dies lässt sich auch daran
erkennen, dass jeweils über 60% der Bewertungen von Nichtbesitzern kommen, obwohl quasi jeder Haushalt ein
Deck Karten besitzt.
Durch diese fließende Definition des Besitzes hier sind die Unterschiede zwischen der Bewertung von
Nichtbesitzern und der durchschnittlichen Bewertung so gering.
Comments
Influence of a comment on the rating
Whether the rating is done with or without a commentary has a minor influence on the rating. In general,
games without commentary are rated better. In just under 15% of all ratings, a comment is provided alongside
the rating. Ratings are about 2.2% better when no comment is provided.
