Board Games!

I guess the most vocal opponent dislikes that in an endgame scenario, its easy for people to have no chance of winning but still be able to affect the outcome of the game easily if they want to.

I've found that people will, in one breath, praise a game without player elimination and then criticize it for still having players able to make a difference after they can't win. In my group, people were generally fine since we tracked finishes and what place you came in mattered even if you didn't win.
