Thanks for the question. The higher scores *are* represented on the leader board. The only thing we eliminate are multiple games with the same exact score. If we don’t do that what happens is that the whole table fills up with one person trying to improve their time.

The reason we take your *first* game at a particular score and not your best is that if we took the best then the high score list would devolve into a list of who can memorize a particular game # and then click the cards the fastest. To me, that takes the fun out of what are, essentially, puzzle style games. We wanted to try to make the high score list (a) attainable, and (b) representative of how good you are at a particular game without practice.
