Now, these aren't necessarily the WORST games of the bunch. They're just the worst I've played. And that doesn't even make them bad games, just the worst of the bunch. Tell me where you disagree, as I'm sure you do! Again, there is no V.

This game sounded good when I bought it off of eBay. Even the rules didn't sound that bad. However, when I realized that the game was basically Monopoly, with a few rule changes, and that there was not much difference between entrepeneurs and monopolists, I began to dislike the game. This game wins the "A" category, with not much competition.

I bought this game right out of my CCG craze. It was fun, and I still like to look at the stats of the mechs, etc. However, it took so stinkin' long to figure out all the modifiers of a single shot, that a "quick" battle dragged out so long that I never wanted to play. I'm glad Wizkids remade the game into a faster, more fun version.

This game has been around forever, and I know a lot of people like it. But for me, the gameplay is boring, repetitive, and plain not-fun. This game was challenged by Candyland in this category, but I actually enjoy playing that with my 3 year old. (kinda)

This game beat out Don't Break the Ice, Don't Go to Jail, and Don't spill the Beans. A lot of "don'ts". But this game has no strategy, and almost no fun. After the skull laughs at you for the 100th time, you feel like breaking it. Hmmmm...

Beating out all the other electronic games. Yes, Stratego is (kinda) fun. Yes, the noises are cool. Still, the worst of the "E"'s

This isn't a bad game, just the worst of the "F's" I've played. But really, I only rank it low because it gave almost nothing for the price. I love Frag - why can't Steve Jackson games give us a good deal for our money!?

Funny name, funny concept, and okay game. But not fun enough to be better than any other "G" game I've played.

Sigh. This game could be played with pencil and paper, but no - we needed the whole board game so that we could be board playing that, too. I use hangman in my classes to teach English sometimes, but this game isn't even useful there.

This game is a very unshining example for all the TV show and Movie garbage spinoff games where all you do is roll and move. Disgusting!

I'm just not a huge fan of this game. I like dexterity games, even though I stink at them. I do feel that Jenga has been played to death and it's frankly a little boring.

Now, I really like the gameplay of this game. But the shoddy components and the slightly repetitive gameplay make this one that is never asked for in my group.

Gameplay aside, I put this one here because of the offensive artwork on the cards. Theme sounded fun, but I was a bit shocked when opening the package. I'm not sure this one will make it to the family table any time soon.

I'll play Monopoly! (If there are no other games within 10 miles and someone has a gun to my head.) Of course, maybe even then, I wouldn't play.

As in the "best of A-Z", this one is only here because it's the only "N" game I'm familiary with.

I know, let's take a boring game like checkers, and make it so that it can bore 4 people! (Sorry folks, not a huge fan of abstract games.)

Another game I truly hate. I do like it better than Phase 10, but that's not saying much.

This game is a very large part of American society, and I'm not sure why. It's okay, but I put it in the same category as Monopoly - with thousands of better games, why ever play it?

I despise this game, I hate this game, I abhor this game. It sounded good - the bits were beautiful. Then, I played the game. We never knew what was going on - an army of 200,000 men was wiped out in one shot - the game just was flat out no fun! This game wins the "T" category hands down.

I played this scores of times as a child, and I thought this was what card games were all about. Now that I've played great games like Dilbert, Hearts, Frank's Zoo, etc., I'll never play Uno again.

W (Sorry, haven't played any "V" games)
Boring theme, boring playing. With all the good tile placement games out there, this game is oldfashioned and not worth playing. A fitting winner for the "W"'s. (Although Warhammer 40K gave it some competition)

There are negative things to be said about CCG's, the collectable factor, the price, etc. But when the game itself stinks - you know that the "X" category has a winner.

Speaking of Card games.... I'd rather play this than Uno, but still! Only one really logical choice to make when it's your turn. I guess you can play it with kids.

I don't think this is a horrible game, I rather enjoy it. But since it was the only contender in this category along with ZooSim, it had to win - because ZooSim is a fantastic game!
