An Ode to Ameritrash
Wooden Cubes?
No!
Trade this for that?
No!
Farming for fun?
No!
Manage a warehouse?
No!
Negotiate peacefully?
No way!
Lots of plastic?
Oh yeah!
Random and luck driven?
Every time!
Heavy theme?
Drip, drip.
Conflict resolution?
Hack 'n' Slash!
Strategy?
Um...can I roll again?
Fun?
More than a pile of muddy pigs!
Replay value?
Lost count.
Components?
We like to call them toys.
Big box?
Won't fit on my shelf.
Low Brow?
Absolutely!

Whoa, I was with you until this line. No way any boardgame is more fun than a pile of muddy pigs!
Well, actually, there can be some merit in the argument that a pile of muddy pigs is pretty much Ameritrash at heart!

Once did I come upon a man who was cold, and I did teach him to build a fire that he might warm himself.
Once did I come upon a man who was starving, and I did teach him to fish that he might feed himself.
Once did I come upon a man who was bored, and I did teach him to game that he might get his butt kicked by me on a regular basis.

 "Ameri~Treasure, the 'beautificent'!"
"oh, 'beautificent', for capricious ties"
"upon ever perambulating themes"
"we celebrate, your 'magnametasignificance"
"as notions evolve unto dreams"
""Ameri~Treasure, "Ameri~Treasure"
"Gaming GAWDZ shed their grace on thee"
"and 'crowing loud & profoundly', that ALL may see"
"their greatest desire fulfilled to its fullest measure!"

One of the most thematic games out there Star Trader drips with theme but also makes one manage a warehouse.

Don't start picking on Thematic or you'll turn into one of those that have poked their nose into Wargames.
