I love the UI as well, especially the seating charts. So much information at a glance, and easily beats the other sites. They're my starting point for Blazers tickets :)

I couldn't really get my family interested in Dominion - a little hardcore for them. Catan & poker seem to be the best bets, and Ticket to Ride works well. I kind of want to try making my own game, although with so many unfinished side

For those not likely destined for the top 10 and that don't have large investments to recoup, these top 10 statistics are fairly irrelevant. A survey among developers who ported their app to both platforms would be far more enlightening. Fo
