What is LudoLog?

2 min read

LudoLog is a place for board game achievements.

You pick a game, choose an optional goal, play with the normal rules, and mark the achievement as completed if you manage it.

Achievements give familiar games a small extra focus.

For example, an achievement might ask you to win with a restriction, try a strategy you usually avoid, complete a rare action, or recover from a bad position.

What is a board game achievement?

A board game achievement is a clear goal added to a game.

It has a rule, a difficulty, and a moment when it can be checked.

Example:

No Tiny Tracks
Gold
Ticket to RideAfter Game

Win Ticket to Ride without claiming any route shorter than 4 trains.

The achievement does not change Ticket to Ride. It gives the player a specific challenge during the game.

Why use achievements?

Achievements can make repeated plays more interesting.

They give players a reason to:

Some achievements are easy. Some are difficult. Some are mainly funny. The useful ones are clear enough that players know when they completed them.

What you can do on LudoLog

On LudoLog, you can:

Private, Community Catalog, and Showcase

LudoLog has three main achievement areas.

Private achievements are for you or your group. They work well for personal goals, group jokes, campaign milestones, or challenges based on your own play style.

Community Catalog achievements are public achievement ideas created by players. They can be tried, upvoted, improved, or reported.

Showcase achievements are curated achievements selected from the catalog. They give each game a cleaner starting list and support title progression.

Titles and progression

Progression is specific to each game.

When you complete Showcase achievements, you can earn progress for that game’s title track.

A player can have a high title in one game and no progress in another. Titles show what you have completed for a specific game, not your overall board game skill.

How to start

Pick a game you already know.

Choose one Bronze or Silver achievement.

Play the game normally.

After the game, check whether you completed the achievement and mark it in LudoLog.

One achievement is enough for a first session.
