Risk

There's nothing like a good ol' family game of conquering the world. Except maybe conquering the world, all sea, and the moon (Risk 2210 AD). I play the original every time I see my cousin. Usually that's my cousin, my brother, and myself.

It's probably the only thing my brother and I will do together.

Risk 2210 is epic, with its only five turns as well as nuke cards.

Its a word in his signature. Please do stay on topic.

Anyways, Risk is one of those games that takes a million years to play. It's slightly less aggravating than Monopoly, though.

That's why 2210 is awesome. It's only five turns. Sure, unlimited attacks, but it takes a hell of a lot less time.

I was at a friend's house and watched as all the guys played 2210. I still have no bloody clue how to play it. And I was the only male not playing. ;_;

It looks pretty complicated at first, but it's pretty fun once you get the hang of currency and commanders and such.

Risk rules. It was my major inspiration in putting together Hyrulian War (yes, more than the Zelda series).

Me and my friends bought Transformers risk. It's pretty cool cause your 'hero' if you will has different abilities depending on whether you choose to use your vehicle state or your transformer state. Otherwise, I just played LoTR risk.

Lol I heard the Risk game with Atlantis is pretty cheap. For instance, I guess one of my friends had basically all of Atlantis, but this other guy had the card to sink Atlantis, so the dude with like 90% of his troops on Atlantis got screwed very quickly.

Is risk 2210 the one where you get the nukes? If that one is the one, I heard a lot of cool things about that game. Maybe I should get it.

Risk is better on a Genesis.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
