I’ve kept you waiting for three long months, and now I’m finally ready to reveal our top five from 2025!
Our top board games are determined by how many game nights they are played at (as opposed to how many times they are played. It wouldn't be fair to calculate a thirty minute game we play five times in one night against a two hour game we play once). Also, some of the games we play are "card" games or "dice" games, or what have you. If you are bothered by me using the term "board games" for them collectively, I will leave you in your discomfort with no apologies.
Without further ado, here is our list from 2025:
5th Place
In fifth place, we had a tie between Qwirkle, Qwixx, and Ticket to Ride: Europe.
4th Place
Coming in fourth is a game I'm really bad at: Take 5. I kind of loathe this game. It's usually a given that I will lose Take 5 and Karma (Karma didn't earn a spot on this list - thank heavens. Stupid game. Grumble, grumble).
3rd Place
Five Crowns came in third, which surprised me because I didn't realize we played this as often as we do.
2nd Place
It's no surprise that Bohnanza made the list this year. It usually does. We have been Bohnanza fans for about 20 years. I bought this for my brother for Christmas one year. Then I borrowed it and never gave it back.
(Sorry, Bubba. IOU a Bohnanza. Or did I already replace it? I don't remember. I know it's crossed my mind frequently for the past decade as I've faced my guilt).
1st Place
For the third year in a row, Ark Nova reigns supreme. I can't believe we've been playing it for so long because it still seems like it's a new game to us. This one (in my opinion) was really hard to learn, but now that we've got it down, we are master zoo builders. I play Ark Nova on my phone every day, and Carlie makes sure we play it regularly at the table.
Now you can sleep better after waiting so long for this news. I hope the thrill was worth the anticipation.
*Not really.
