That's RISK(y)

Last night, I played a board game. For some, this is not shocking, but for me in today's world of computer games and videogames...it's rare for me to sit at a table and play a game with other people that I can see. The game was RISK by Parker Brothers...and not just any version of RISK, but the 1959 version...the original. That's right Al...you have what's now referred to as the "Nostalgia Edition".


Anyway...I did OK for a game I haven't played since I was about 12 years old. I think it was my brother's game...he probably got it for Christmas and hasn't thought about it since the one time we played it 22 years ago. It really was fun I must say. Charging your armies into the enemy territory and fighting with the throw of the dice. If you've never played...I recommend it. I might even have to pick up the current version of the game which actually uses little tiny army people instead of Roman Numerals for pieces. Wanna play?
