This week’s list of fastest-gaining Facebook games by daily active users holds an unusual number of mid-sized games that just keep growing, week after week. It’s led, though, by Pirates Ahoy, a new title by Electronic Arts.

We actually reviewed Pirates Ahoy on July 8th, but this is the first significant growth we’ve seen for the title. It appears that Playdom decided to take a couple weeks to work all the bugs out of Pirates before beginning to advertise for the title.

Baking Life is one of those aforementioned titles that has been around for a while but keeps growing. The ZipZapPlay restaurant management sim just topped a million DAU, which places it firmly within the ranks of significant games. Below it, you can see several more mid-sized titles with a similar growth profile: Fashion World, Ninja Saga, Nightclub City and Mall World, most notably. (Cafe Life, further down, is similar in its love for cupcakes.)

守衛家園, a new Chinese-language title from Boyaa, is worth a look for those that can navigate it. It’s a tower defense game with a twist; the area to be defended is a river, with boats traveling from one end to another through a hail of attacks.

Finally, there’s Fanglies, a new vampire-themed game from Playdom. We’ll likely see this game again on our Friday list of emerging titles, along with some of the other new games shown.
