Five Games Enter, One Game Leaves!

In recent weeks (months?!?) we've been running a tournament to find out what RPGGeek's favourite RPG mechanics are. We're down to five now and rather than look for another solution to fit 5 games into 2 brackets, I'm throwing them all in. Give one thumb to the game you want to see win.

Previous rounds:
Greatest RPG Mechanics of all time Round Three - Top Eig, er, Nine!
Edited by popular demand - new games added - The Greatest RPG Mechanics of all time tournament - Round One
Greatest RPG Mechanics of all time Round two - only 1.5 months late!

Wondering why your favourite isn't here?

[Closing May 13th!] Best RPG mechanics of all time tournament - nominate your favourites here

The battle is on until August 20, then the winner will be crowned.

So much heritage behind it, but is the latest necessarily the greatest?

Did I understand this correct when putting down one thumb only (that is one of the five games got a thumb)? That's how I read the instructions, but it seems that others have thumbed multiple items.

'Others' clearly aren't reading the rules properly and I'll have to discount 'others' votes, or contact them and get them to rectify it...

Well, to be honest I did the same, just assumed that it was the same format as before and started to thumb , then read the instructions and corrected my mistake.
