showing number of currently active games in game lobby

I have many games that I like to play turn based, but I do not like to have more than one instance of the same going at the same time because I'll often mix up what I was trying to do on my turn.

My suggestion is that the game lobby should indicate the number of active instances I currently have going of each game so that I don't 1) accidently join a game when I already have another version of that game in progress, or 2) not realize that a game I was in has ended, and therefore inadvertently not have an active game going that I would like to be playing.

No, I would like to be able to see which games I am currently playing without having to leave the game select screen and sort through a list of every game I am playing.

Right now I have about 18 active games. I would like to open a few more. I'm looking at my favorited games... Marco Polo, I'd like to play that, do I have an active game going? I don't know. I have to switch to another screen and look for it in my active games.

It seems like it would be relatively simple to add something on the game select screen that indicates "you currently have X number of active tables in this game" rather than making us go to another screen and scroll through a list. Especially as new games keep getting added and my list of favorited games is getting larger and larger.
