All right, the stats, finally.

Suggestions:
-I really enjoy the aisleriot game, however I find its list of games
incredibly confusing. I don't know if it is just me, but I have no
idea what any of those games will be like. It wouldn't be such a big
deal if there weren't so many of them. Suppose I want to play the
standard solataire card game, how am I supposed to know which one of
those it is. None of them have names I recognize. I usually just give
up before I find the game I'm looking for.

What do we get out of these? Well, lots of people asked for the common
things (sudoku, chess, go). The results must be taken with a grain of
salt, at least the numbers, but I think some of the feedback is good.
However, I think the trend in the numbers can be trusted. As I am not
a coder, I leave it up to those with commit access to do the actual
work.

Yours,

Corey
