What's the worst AT game in your collection?

Put me down as another Rogue Trooper owner... Can't think of what might be worse: the other GW ones such as Valley of the Four Winds and Doctor Who ? Aha! If GW = Ameritrash then it must be Calamity!

I'd have to go with the Star Wars Miniature Starship Battles. I have the whole set but it is not a very good game. The range rules are wonky. The fighter rules are wonky. It's an overall wonky game. It might be salvagable with a rules change.

Scrap the ruleset and use the minis for Star Warriors

Takes a little bit to get all the modifiers and difficulties down, but it is a soid Star Wars dogfighting game.

Rogue Trooper got sold before Christmas - never played.
Calamity - still got it (destined for the Thrift shop), never played.

As mentioned at the start of the thread, I don't really have an AT game I dislike in my collection but I do have a LOT of unplayed games - so going on the TOS ratings, my worst games are:
Calamity
Castle Risk
Battlecards

Does Return of the Heroes count as AT?

I know some folks really like it, but it never did grab me. Any time I've come close to playing it again I just grab Runebound instead.

Other than that... maybe Attack Force, the TSR minigame. Blatant Star Wars rip-off, not very fun to play. I only bought it because I love the TSR minigames and was in a collector mood.

Munchkin by far. It was good for a few laughs but that only lasted 15 minutes. Talk about a steaming pile of shite that set AT back 15 years. Whoever thought the original was such a good idea that there should be Munchkin franchise should have their nutsac dry-shaven and then swabbed with Betadyne.


-Will

I trust Betadyne is flammable?

Maaaaaybe UFC: PENNY ARCADE? I'm pretty pleased with my AT collection--not a lot of duds there. The PENNY ARCADE cards have some that just got banned out of the box for balance reasons--oh Fruit Fucker, I love you so.

It makes me sad to think about Munchkin. Last month, I got the chance to play with a new group, and it turns out that their concept of AmeriTrash is Munchkin, Talisman and Kung Fu Samurai on Giant Robot Island. Oh, and they still get very excited about playing Settlers. And they wouldn't even try Battlestar Galactica or Cosmic Encounter. I just got a late invite for tomorrow night, but fortunately, I already have plans.

Shhhhh! I'm trying to trade mine away

Sorry but to me RISK : Godstorm is by far worse than the LotR one.

the whole second battle in hell over almost nothing is what does it.

Not even the excitement of sinking atlantis can offsett the tedium of fighting for supremecy in hell for no prize.

Calamity isn't all that bad.

My worst AT game is probably of German origin. A little game called Cop & Killer. Even with the German origin, this is a kind of pastiche of Monopoly and Cash $ Guns. But really, really awful. The rules read like they cut them out of other games and pasted them together at random.

Even though it has a freaking cool dart gun, I'm afraid to actually take it off the shelf.

Sadly, I also bought another game by the same company, which is slightly better. Bushido. It isn't good. But the rules have that same cut-up kind of feel.

For me, Return of the Heroes. Just can't stand it--seems absolutely pointless to me. I'd much rather play something like 10 Days in Africa
