Unique players - this means the number of people who played the game last month
Average plays per month - this is how many times, on average, this game was played - total plays / unique user plays
Playtime per player (mins) - length of game multiplied by average plays per month, to see which games are actually getting most table-time (this highlights some of the longer games on this list)
Highest rank on this list - this is only as far back as my data goes - November 09.

Ora et Labora is the second new hot game that everyone wants to try, with nearly as many new players as Eclipse. It jumps from 66 last month straight into the Top 50 at 8. I still haven't seen this one anywhere to try myself, and not being a fan of Le Havre am not going to buy it before trying it.
