Quoted from mof:You may be right about your hypothesis, but I don't correlate # of ratings to "real" popularity.
I believe the # of ratings goes hand in hand with the # of games produced.
To me, this means there are some games ranked HIGHER than they deserve because they got exposure through production numbers.
Likewise, I think some games got the short end of the ratings stick due to low production numbers or for deluxe editions:
1. Games with doubles that play identically to the original: Addams Family Gold #28, how can this not be rated #6 right next to Addams Family regular edition? Centaur II should be rated (nearly) the same as Centaur I. EBD LE should be rated (nearly) the same as EBD I.

The changes in rules from TAF to TAFG make TAFG less desirable to play. And all that mustard/gold on TAFG is ugly.
Also Centaur II and EBDLE are ugly!
