Point of order: Lamplighter's League only came out in Oct 2023, so doesn't meet the "out for one year" criterion.

Just a gentle reminder that today is the last day to vote. I'll be updating the ranks in the next day or two as well.

Hey I actually own 3 of these, not just the 2 I thought.

1. RimWorld
2. Civilization 6
3. Europa Universalis IV

It currently looks like AOW 4 is in the lead with Civ 6 a close second, but still a little bit of time left to vote. I'll close everything out and announce the winner first thing tomorrow morning.

All right pencils down! I’ve got called into an emergency meeting but will have the winner soon. Stay tuned.

All right pencils down! Here is the ranking for first round (it's a little confusing so please let me know if I'm doing it wrong).

Total votes: 11 - 6 needed to win

Age of Wonders 4: 5 votes
Civilization 6: 4 votes
Dune Spice Wars: 1 vote
RimWorld: 1 vote

No game has enough votes to win. Dune and RimWorld are tied at 1 vote. Dropping down to second choice, both games are still tied at 3 votes. Moving on to third choice, Dune gets 4 votes to RimWorld's 3. RimWorld is eliminated.
