Subject: Updated (7/19) Cummulative Top 10 Results

Arbitrary Decisions made:

1) Variations on a game with relatively minor changes (for instance,
   Civilization and Advanced Civilization) will be counted together.

2) Variations on a game with relatively major changes (for instance,
   1830 and 1856, or Empire Builder and Eurorails) will be counted
   seperately.

3) The three generic 18xx votes are arbitrarily counted as 1830.

4) A vote for 18xx (1856 best) was counted as 1856.

5) A vote for "Any Mayfair Rails game (except Empire Builder) was
   arbitrarily assigned to Eurorails.

6) A vote for "Empire Builder (Eurorails is on top, but the others fall 
   close behind)" was assigned to Eurorails.

7) A vote for "Empire Builder (and others)" was assigned to Empire Builder.

8) Votes for "Mayfair crayon rail games" and "empire builder-type" were 
   assigned to Empire Builder.

9) A vote for 18xx, with 1835 listed as first preference, was assigned to
   1835.

10) A vote for Hispania / Britannia / Maharaja was assigned to Hispania.

11) A list with twelve games had the two at the bottom (Abilene and
    Acquire) dropped.

I have attempted to list the publisher(s) of each game, plus the variations
I counted (or would have counted).  I've undoubtedly made a number of
mistakes - please excuse any errors.
