IAGO Features Abstract Games Leaderboard

The International Abstract Games Organization (IAGO) has set up a leaderboard that pulls game result information from igGameCenter.com, Super Duper Games and Games.WTanaka.com, then compares players across similar games. Dozens of games are included on the leaderboard, from traditional games like Fanorona and Hex to modern designs such as Cannon, Amazons and Pulling Strings.

The leaderboard is still in the testing phase at this point, says IAGO’s Rich Hutnik. “All of this is automated from a data feed from the partner sites, so there’s no manual entry of data. Players who register at the IAGO site will be tracked this way… We will be looking to add the Arimaa site next, then we hope to get more sites on later.”
