Risk (board game) - Darth-Apple - September 8th, 2013
I LOVE risk, to be completely honest. It's one of my favorite board games, and the only real disadvantage is how long each game lasts.
Anyone else here a fan of the game?
RE: Risk (board game) - Dreadlord - September 8th, 2013
I am a fan of the game but I haven't played it in ages.
I play sort of online versions such as Supremacy1914 which is quite fun.

I like that game too but no one will play with me.
RE: Risk (board game) - Darth-Apple - September 8th, 2013
It's hard to even find the time to play because it takes like 8 hours to finish a game. I have not played in a long time because of that.
RE: Risk (board game) - Dreadlord - September 8th, 2013
I used to leave the board out overnight and come to it the next night, write everything down so nobody can change anything whilst you sleep.
Damian I used to be really good at it and win every game; on the Europe map I owned the whole of the bottom part (Top Africa - Arabia sort of and Europe)

Haha nice! Maybe the three of us should set up an online game sometime (if that's possible).
RE: Risk (board game) - Acko - September 8th, 2013
Yeah, risk is one of my favorites. Along with similar games, like Europa Universalis (the original Board Game, not EU4, but I love that too
).
RE: Risk (board game) - Darth-Apple - September 8th, 2013
It's a classic for sure.

There's an online game that's somewhat similar to Risk, it's called WarLight. You have to buy an account to do multi player and it also gives you some other gameplay features, but otherwise it's free to play.
RE: Risk (board game) - Darth-Apple - September 9th, 2013
Hmm... sucks that you have to pay for multiplayer. I'll have to check it out though.
RE: Risk (board game) - Acko - September 9th, 2013
Yeah, WarLight is what got me into Paradox. So I have to indirectly thank you for that

Yes it is, but I'm probably no good at it now.

Haha I suck at it nowadays as well. It is still a fun game though.

I don't got time for strategy.
(By the way, my grammar is much better; that was a joke post.)

Well, WL is a lot more basic than paradox games, but whatever
