Flip a tile, place it on table, play a random card, roll to move, roll to kill zombie. Repeat ad nauseum. Game ends when Helicopter Pad tile is flipped. Nearest person to where it is placed wins. A game from Ameritrash's dark side and not in a good way.

I like Wallace but this one is just to straight forward a money to victory points conversion game. The player interaction is just a bit of blocking positions other players would have used. I wonder if in the future we won't look back on these low interaction victory point machine games in the way we look back on hair metal or prog rock. Yeah, there are always good examples of a genre but this isn't one of them.

This is a great one. Players are the scheming mercenary princes that Machiavelli found so fascinating. It is an auction game were the princes try to gain wealth and power by fighting on behalf of the various cities of Italy. The players start wars between the cities and then choose which side they will fight on. Each prince is looking to better the position of the cities he has invested in. He can fight to win glory for a city but in a great twist he can purposefully enter fights to lose and so ruin the reputation of the city he was meant to be defending. The scheming, back stabbing and temporary alliances of convenience make for a great experience.
