Explanation of terms on this list:
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.

The game on this list with the lowest total plays, and also the lowest plays per user. I wonder if this will still be here next month, or a one-month wonder?

This game might only just have squeaked back into the Top 50, but it certainly is played a lot by its fans. Players recording 15 plays a day against AI have probably increased this.
