* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' takes the fantasy kitchen sink, flings it into the future vacuum of [[Recycled in Space|SPAAACE]], arms it to the teeth, changes any morals to fit a [[Black and Grey Morality]], [[Crapsack World|dumps crap all over it]], and ramps up the violence quotient [[Up to Eleven|to eleven]], then covers everything in skulls and spikes.
▲** In fact ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' is far, far more subdued than ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''. While it maintains the [[Crapsack World]] element, the more ridiculous elements of 40K background are omitted. It nevertheless evokes this trope pretty hard, with vampires, daemons and the undead butting heads with dwarfs, elves and Lizard people.

Line 159 ⟶ 158:
** Worth noting is that within individual settings or "planes", the fantasy concepts that appear tend to be more restricted in scope (eg, a [[Land of One City]] plane, a Japanese-myth-inspired plane, a Magitek plane, etc.). Only when taken as a whole does the game itself become a kitchen sink (ie, a game with Lands Of One City and Japanese myth and Magitek, etc.).
** On the other hand, the annual core sets are specifically designed to embody this trope, introducing cool cards that would have no place in the specific settings (such as [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220170 Vengeful Pharaoh]) as well as reprinting various cards from the game's past

* An [[Retraux|old-school styled]] game called ''Encounter Critical'' is an off-beat Fantasy Kitchen Sink game, that mixes [[Five Races|races]] and [[Fantasy Character Classes|archetypes]] from [[Star Wars]], [[Star Trek]], and [[Dungeons & Dragons]].
* ''[[Small World]]'' is a strategy game which features dozens of fantasy creatures duking it out over territory. The core game alone has Humans, Halflings, Giants, Amazons, Trolls, Wizards, Ghouls, mer-folk (the Tritons), Dwarves, Elves, Rat-men, Sorcerors, Orcs, and Skeletons.
