****So, I just played a game of 40 theives that I happen to win and the scoreboard says "you placed 1st out of 117" but the board only lists the scores of 9 players. What does the number 117 measure? I though it represented the number of players that have played that game so far, but it only listed 9. Just curious. Can someone explain?

The leader board only lists yourself and a handful of other top players. This saves me the embarrassment of being listed #117. Some of the games...like Klondike...may have 3 or 4 thousand players. You wouldn't want to see them all.
That is the way is works - it shows the top 10 + your score (if you're not in the top 10)
The nine you see - it that nine other than you?? Maybe a tie?
Harumph - Leader board... not "you beat the game" - my bad
Also, I think I read that the total "out of" number is how many times the game has been played, and not how many people have played the game. At least that is what I remember reading in an earlier post.
Thank you for your feedback everyone. I realize that the scoreboard only lists the top 10 scores but when it's a game that's fairly new and it only shows the score of say 6 or 8 players why is the "out of" number higher than 6 or 8, like 117. If only 6 or 8 players played the game then the "out of" number should be 6 or 8. Is the "out of" number the number of total people that looked at the game but didn't actually play it. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly and like I said before, not a big deal, just curious. Thanks.
@bookplate The 117 would include unregistered players but the scoreboard doesn't display entries for them. That confused me at first also.
Oh ok. Thank you Nan. That makes sense.
It also includes players who scored no points. Either they got to a game they didn't like, or got called away, or ...who knows, but 0 points don't get listed.
