Dark Age comes to mind. It’s been out for a long while but I still can’t get people to play it. The rules are great and he models are very ice.

For games that just came out, I’d say AE-WW2. Great rules.

I’ve tried Supersystem a few times, and not had anybody leap up and down about it. Although I honestly think that’s more a matter of not many of my friends having enough time to game very much anyways.

But I think it’s a fun, not too serious game that people might enjoy.

It’s an ongoing quest. :-)

I liked the Supersystem game we played, Briguy. I think it’s a combo of too many games and too little time :D.

Infinity is the game I’d love to see more of, or more accurately some of :D.

Full Thrust. Great mechanics but only one of my regular gaming partners will play and we don’t often get around to Full Thrust.

Funnily enough for me it’s Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy! The majority of my gaming mates have at least one GW army, but we find ourselves playing Mordheim/Necro and Flames of War these days…

Infinity, hands down. Can’t get anyone interested in it locally. “That costs money! I don’t want to paint more figs! Ooh, 40K Apocalypse…” :(

Hmmm, lessee. Infinity, Urban War, and Anima Tactics would be my top three, but Necromunda, Mordheim, C3, and AT-43 are all short on players around here, too.

Hell Dorado.

Rules are a great blend of Confrontation and War Machine and the miniatures are some of the best on the market at the moment. The background is interesting, but might be too much for some. Also, lack of official English support is currently hurting it but hopefully that will be resolved soon.

Epic.

Definitely Dark Age and Wargods of Aegyptus. Both have great minis. The rules for Wargods are seemingly unsung in the world of unit-based wargames. And Dark Age is Brom. BROM! It just seems like everyone around here always points to “money” as the main reason they won’t branch out. But they’ll spend their paychecks on GW and PP. I love PP stuff, but I like variety as well. Money is for buying cool stuff.

CAV2. It has a small, but ferociously loyal, following that is slowly recruiting people to fight in the Second Galaxy War.

Games I love most that I can’t get players for:

Infinity: Amazing rules with equally amazing minis. I’m finally convincing some locals to try it out.

Dark Age: The books are a little lack luster when compared with other stuff on the market today, but the rules are fun, the background is good and the models are fun to paint. Most people don’t even know this game exists where I am.

Vor: Long out of print, I’m dying for the rumored Vor 2.0 Skuzzy is supposedly working on. My NeoSoviets want to shake up the Maelstrom again. :)

@Janzerker: Actually there’s a store in Osaka that’s got about 12 40K and Fantasy players on the average weekend. And about 4 or 5 Warmachine players. Warhammer is getting a little bit bigger here. GW’s got company stores in Tokyo again after a long absence.

Guess I’m really lucky - I’ve gotten to play several games of Infinity and Dark Age this year. And we’re lining up some VOR soon. I was even just in the Epic Armageddon tourney at Games Day Baltimore….

My group is pretty wildly diverse, largely because I’m crazy and force them to drool over dang near every new shiny game that comes out.

I guess the one that I really never got to play would be the Great Rail Wars and WarGods. I’ve got forces for both but they never really got any traction at all with my playing group.

I am lucky to be in a gaming group that tries different games. But, the games I don’t see represented enough in my area (cleveland, oh) would be:

1. Lord of the Rings - I love this game, but no one touches it in my area.

2. Infinity - This game is big in my small group, but outside us I haven’t seen it anywhere. No stores in the area stock it. Euro - dollar rate is killing most of these euro games.

3. Dark Age - It was huge around here for a while and just died. Publisher just isn’t releasing stuff and keeping it fresh fast enough.

Honorable Mention :

Hell Dorado - I can’t really put this up there yet as the fact that they haven’t released the official rules and cards in english is holding off pretty much anyone who is interested in our area.

Anima tactics is the winner for me. Got the starter and a few mercenaries all painted up. I got one of my friends to buy a starter but he’s crapped out on it. The other guy I play WM with is ready to sell his collection and get out.The closest store went out of business right around new years. At this point if it’s not easy to put on the table right away, I can’t garner much interest. Also many in my group have turned to RPG’s. The only good part is that let’s me use my minis there.

CAV 2. In production, but no one around here will play.

INFINITY. Only two players in LGSs and lots of lookers but no takers. Primarily because none of the LGSs carry the figs. The other store carries a little Dark Age and Rezolution and they have a growing player base.

Anima Tactics and Helldorado are also not being played and despite the saturated Fantasy market, these games deserve their place.

Warzone. Fantastic ruleset, lovely universe and… poor marketing resulting in such a great game ending its life in collectors’ memoirs instead of first places in top-game lists :( I still own a couple of armies, but have no-one in my area to play with for several years now.

Oh, and please don’t tell me Warzone is about to come back with the new “Mutant Chronicles” CMG from FFG, because the only thing these two games have in common is the name of the universe :(

-Gavroche:
no idea why really, but i can guess
- fear of starting something that may or may not live. we gamers are known to drop a game as soon as it’s no longer supported(generalization,but somewhat true). so why invest in a game that may just die. better wait and see, and then start. of course, if it died because majority of gamers acted like that is a proof they were right. this also includes people that will only play of a game seems popular, so they have many players to game with, preferably at tournaments.
another reason is money. this actually is a bit counter-logic, but many players say that they do not want to pay for models for another game…and then happily go and buy models for what they’r playing now(i hear that argument from GW gamers most often, who then happily spend another 50Ł on two tanks for their already massive army), even if the money they’d spend on say, three squads for their game would buy them entire range of their faction’s models for a skirmish game.

third reason is unwillingness to try something new. not money, not how widespread the game is, but just the fact that they know the rules and tricks for their current game, and won’t bother learning another one, as they feel comfortable as they are. that’s pretty much a lost cause, very hard to get that kind of player started on anything new.

as for great game noone plays? not infinity, i’m lucky enough to live in a area where the game cought on just fine, but Full Thrust is something that really is different to usual games, and hardly anyone plays it, like any other space game. also Anima, which seems to be passed in favour of bigger games.

Regarding Full Thrust, if you to the Starship Combat Forum at star-ranger.com as well as the starship gaming forum at TMP it would seem that Full Thrust is doing quite fine as far as people playing it. It just needs a rules update and consolidation that I don’t forsee happening anytime soon.

Wargods unfortunately doesn’t have a big enough fanbase in my area, so I’ve been reduced to playing solely at conventions… which is sad because Crocodile didn’t have any presence at the only convention I could make it to this year…
