The following patterns are NOT scientific in any way, shape or form. But they are darned interesting! I took the final percentage of players who had played these games 5/10+ times each year and rounded it to the closest 5% step to create these patterns.

Please note... some of the five year patterns do not reflect the life history of a game, but simply the last five years. Games like Settlers, Acquire & Liar's Dice have been around much longer than my record-keeping. | ||
