I miss playing this, i may have to invest in a Risk box set out here and then bribe/threaten/beg people to play it with me. The computer version just isn't the same as rolling dice and moving little men (or robots) around a map of the earth (or moon). I suggest everyone plays this game at least once. Also if anyone is going to attempt to shoot me down by saying Axis & Allies is better, then know that i've never played it. And that also you HAVE to invite me to play it some time.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY WORLD DOMINATION!!! With Mission Cards 4 or more players becomes very hard indeed, and i'm tempted but haven't had the chance to play Capital Risk rules. Also futuristic Risk (ie RISK 2210AD) kicks ass, there is much more you can do in one turn, but your limited to 5 turns, this means a)the game doesn't go on for ever and b)the person with the most stuff at the end wins. It's pretty much like Traditional Risk except that you have the opportunity to Nuke People!!! As for the Facebook version i don't know, i haven't tried it, i downloaded a free version to my computer instead. I find that something is lacking when playing on a computer, clicking the"Roll dice" button just isn't the same as having the dice in your hand and praying to the DICE GODS (yes they exist) to give you a lucky roll. Plus moving little plastic Robots is more fun than just looking at little drawings. Oh, and if anyone even thinks of mentioning Monopoly as a better game, or even a good game at all i will insert the car, the boot and the iron into said persons rectum.

I however get very confused about the rules as its so infrequently that i can find people to play with me __________________ "Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried." - Mae West Top Login or register to post comments Sat, 08/11/2008 - 13:35 #6 Bestes Offline Joined: 01/10/2008 How about a rocksocrisknight? __________________ 42 Omnia Mutantur Nihil Interit Top Login or register to post comments Sat, 08/11/2008 - 18:24 #7 Shogg Offline Joined: 13/02/2008 Bestes wrote: How about a rocksocrisknight?

I'll take that challenge. While I can't honestly compare it to Risk, as Risk is a game I have yet to get round to playing, Monopoly is a game that has brought me much joy over the years; so feel free attempt to insert little metal pieces wherever you like, idle threats shall not dissuade me from my opinion. Additionally though I do have to mention that as boardgames go Scrabble is generally my favourite, though I suppose that shows up my boring streak a little.

We've got tables. We've got a room. It almost makes sense. __________________ I am not so serious this passion is a plagiarism I might join your century but only on a rare occasion I was taken out before the labor pains set in and now behold the world's worst accident I am the girl anachronism Top Login or register to post comments Tue, 11/11/2008 - 12:06 #17 Beckie Offline Joined: 21/09/2006 dont they allready have some there? __________________ "Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried." - Mae West Top Login or register to post comments Tue, 11/11/2008 - 13:31 #18 darkish_angel87 Offline Joined: 17/10/2005 Twistedgenius wrote: darkish_angel87 wrote: If we're playing Scrabble, Cluedo or Trivial Pursuit, I WILL pwn everyone.
