Go to the heart image in the menu and select "Favorites Page". Maybe I
could change that to read "Our Favorite Variants", which may make it
clearer what it is. This page lists the results in ranked order of the
favorite games selected by our members. When you are on a game page, you
can use this same menu to select it as one of your favorites.

It does not handle rating of games. It is strictly about giving recognition
to favorite variants rather than evaluating less favored variants.

As a variant designer, I will add that when you have invented enough games,
you will have favorites among your own games, and you will be critical of
some of your past games instead of thinking each one is the best new
variant. When someone has invented a lot of games, I really want to know
which ones are his favorites, and that's one of the purposes behind the
Favorites system.
