Lets You and Me and Him Fight

Way, way back in the mists of time – well, about a year anyway – before there was the term “Ameritrash” I used to call the sorts of games that I like the most “multiplayer conflict games”. Since this is not only a bit of a mouthful, but uninspiring and not terribly meaningful either, it’s no surprise that it didn’t catch on in the way that Ameritrash did as a term. But I still find myself trotting it out from time to time because the games that it’s supposed to refer to are still my favourite games and because the concept of AT and my concept of MCG’s overlap heavily but have significant areas of territory which they share with other game styles.
