![]() What’s The Best Board Game To Try Next? by Paul Ross It was a grueling exercise that tested my patience, but it was worth it. In addition to a website that gave some stats, I used the YouTube video to create data points of my own, plotting where the ball landed in key moments of the game. What sealed it is that the whole game is on YouTube. Nirosh Perera: I chose to visualize an iconic tennis match between two game greats because I knew there was an amazing story to tell. The Greatest Game Of All Time by Nirosh Perera I chose the topic because I personally bought a few games that won the award and enjoyed playing them with my family. There wasn't a ready-made data set out there, so there was a lot of cobbling things together from different sources. Did you know right away what topic you were going to analyze? Did you already have a data set in mind or have to look around? What made you choose this topic?īrittany Rosenau: Initially, I thought I'd pick one game but then broadened it to the Spiel des Jahres board game competition. Tell us more about your 2023 qualifier entry. I've long been fascinated by the question, "What game should I try next?" And while my first viz helps answer questions like "What's a good 5-player game of medium difficulty?" I wanted to see if I could generate a universal list of awesome games you should try next, no matter who you are. Paul Ross: The very happy accident that the theme for the Iron Viz Global Qualifier was games. As a lover of games in general, whether it be board games, sports, or quizzes, the theme of the qualifying entry was right up my alley. Nirosh Perera: I was pretty tentative about joining the competition this year, but my colleagues were adamant that I give it a go and have supported me all the way. This was my third entry, and I was excited to try things I hadn't before. What prompted you to join the competition this year?īrittany Rosenau: I love the Iron Viz competition-especially the slogan “win or learn, you can't lose.” There's a great energy that comes from the community during this time, whether it's from those building vizzes, giving feedback, or cheering on participants. Finding the #GamesNightViz Community Project motivated me to publish my first viz in June 2022, knowing that at least a few people might find it interesting. ![]() I had wanted to build something to explore games on by selecting player counts and complexity levels. But what got me really interested in Tableau was discovering #GamesNightViz. ![]() Paul Ross: I became aware of Tableau Public when I looked around for options to build an online viz portfolio in 2022, so not long ago. I have to admit I've not been good at using it regularly, but I really enjoy admiring the Viz of the Day each morning-the talent of the DataFam is insane! I started using Tableau Public soon after, trying a few Makeover Mondays. My boss at the time had a Tableau Desktop license, and I was lucky enough to have it assigned to me. Nirosh Perera: I was first introduced to Tableau by chance at work. Seeing what was possible with customization on Tableau Public really hooked my curiosity, and I've been a fan ever since. I couldn't believe how easy it was to build the reports needed to see and understand my data compared to the standard in-app reporting.
