[Jest Phulin]

Sort of. If you go to your games in progress page (https://boardgamearena.com/gameinprogress), at the bottom it will list all active tables. These are sorted by number of active tables (real-time plus turn-based) for each game.

[RicardoRix]

display options, sort by popularity.

If you're a developer you can get to a list like this:
All depends how you define popular, most time played, most games played....

If you're a developer you can get to a list like this:

This is a very interesting list! What is the reference time? Is it "last day" meaning "last 24 hours" or is it "last week" or what is it?

[RicardoRix]

It's monthly.

So for last month (the last full month) :
