Arimaa is one rating short of becoming a ranked game on BGG.  If you haven't done so already, go to the following page and give it a ranking!  

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/4616

The more publicity on BGG we get, the better.

Let me ask silly question - how exactly I can rate at this site? (I am already registered too but still cannot find out how to rate).

If you have created an account, and you are logged in, and you are looking at the page for Arimaa (do a search on games for Arimaa if necessary), the bottom of the page should have a place for you to rate Arimaa and enter comments.

Thank you very much, indeed this is quite easy (but I swear that this bottom boxes weren´t there before :))  

Ok, one more thing - I rated and submitted all but still see only 29 ratings.

It takes a while to update, the changes are not seen instantly. I am not sure how long it takes, maybe a day or 2.

And if you have enough GeekGold to promote Arimaa on BGG you can buy the Arimaa microbadge http://files.boardgamegeek.com/images/microbadges/Arimaa5.gif and show it in your profile.

I wonder if that wouldn't be a little dishonest in my case. I mean I am hardly a geek: I don't wear glasses; I run my seven miles every morning; I can barely tell one end of the computer from the other and I am a smart dresser to boot. How could I pretend being a geek for a microsecond?  ;D

Well, it's true that more publicity for Arimaa is generally better, but I notice we have already drawn one negative comment which implies that people who have a BGG account for the sole purpose of rating Arimaa a 10 are shills.  Still, maybe negative publicity is better than no publicity.

Well, aren't they?  Let's be honest, here.

At least I can say that I've used by BGG account for a lot more than rating Arimaa.  I've rated a couple dozen games, listed my collection, etc.
