NEW Vintage #1??

 Now with Start-o-matic Baseball in my regular list, it makes an opening for the new game to take the title this year! 

But who will it be? Here are my thoughts on the 5 games that could claim it:

Star Wars Queen's Gambit

Obviously this is the clear frontrunner. It's been #1 before and ended up as #2 on the list. I love this game. It's incredible and will never be reprinted again. It's a classic, and deserved of that #1 spot for 2025.

Battle Cry

But if any game could topple Queen's Gambit, it's this one. It's been #1 and #2 in the past. It's an amazing battle game that my group does enjoy playing. Even Megan's played it with me a few times, which always helps. Depending on how many times I can get it to the table will determine whether it climbs to the top of not. 

Battle Ball

Football of the future!! This 2 player game has come close every year to grabbing the coveted #1 spot but has come up short. It has stiff competition but with beautiful figures and an exciting game every time I play, it does have an outside chance to skip the line to the front. 

Pro-Action Football

Another 2 player soccer game that captured #1 years ago but has failed to win it back since. It doesn't get to the table as much as it once did, but I'd be remiss not to add it to the list, since it IS in my Top 5 at the moment and has a good a chance as any to claiming the top spot once again.

Nerts

This card game made it to the top of my list one year when my family played it during out beach vacation. I had SO much fun, I had to bestow upon it the #1 spot. This Christmas we were supposed to play but Die Hard replaced that plan in the short time it took me to drive home and grab 7 packs of cards. BUT if we play epic games over the summer, this one has a clear path to the top of the list.
