Orphan games

Among the games galore on BGA, there seems to be very popular ones with a lot of players that practice these games on a regular basis, and others who could be qualified as orphan games.

I would like to know for which games I may expect many partners, and for which one I lose my time opening tables.

Is there a process on BGA to advertise for orphan games in order to attract new players ?

The quick interface also allows you to queue for multiple games simultaneously and the first game that is available will match. This can be a way to try to play a less popular game if others happen to hit it at the same time or were already waiting for it.

The super low population games are mostly played turn based rather than real time since nothing is lost waiting for the match.
