      What's going on with this game's BGG ratings? :Dpic.twitter.com/4Yv3suDO5J

      Ratings on BoardgameGeek where for almost every single rating there are between 20 and 40 votes.

      Most of the 10's are from accounts with a single rating and made around the same period. I am still surprised BGG allows that to happen.

      There's definite a few accounts made on one day and used one day only just rate this one game 10. Typically these are friends of the makers lending a hand. This can't be stopped on BGG, but the system is usually self-policing. I will bring this instance up with admin later.

      BGG does not allow spamming. I will see what Octavian has to say.

          I've been through all the 10 ratings and the 9s, on this and related games. There was an official BGG contest during the KS promotion, so that's why there was some activity there. Plus the publishers seem to be very active demoing at events also, so the fan support seems genuine.

          BGG has an algorithm to smooth out extremes when quantities are low, so big swings don't actually work. We can't see that there was any incentivising to generate 10 ratings. The skewing looks dramatic but Octavian says it's not actually affecting the averaged ratings.
