Risk
Probably the first mainstream Ameritrash game. Players fight for world domination with lots of army pieces on a map of the world. On your turn, you receive reinforcements and then attack other players' territories in an attempt to conquer them. Combat consists of rolling dice and comparing the highest rolls.
