My personal pick for biggest eye sore I've played would be the Warhammer 40k version of Talisman, named "Relic":



I mean... what the hell am I even looking at here. It's everything and the kitchen sink visual design at it's worst. I've played this game and sometimes just spaced out to the point of the board conveying no information to my brain anymore.
Yeah that's a pretty awful design. It's colorful, which people like, but people like controlled, readable color which this board does not convey.

Now I'm trying to think about which of my games is bad visually because it's trying too hard rather than not hard enough. Give me some time and I'll probably have an answer lol

Appreciate the discussion though dude, everyone else here appears to be uninterested in the hobby or interested but hasn't played enough games to really discuss it
