I kind of wished I played some of these board games as a kid as they sound like they would have been like fun but I doubt I would have ever read the instructions and it would have been too complicated. Only games we really played was checkers(because I didn't and still don't know how to play chess), jenga, yatzee, and uno.

Perhaps I will buy Risk and ask my friends if they want to sleep over and play it.

that's why you should play them as adult :yikes: i didn't really play board games as a kid except all the usual shit ones and now there's like starcraft and doom board games and stuff and it's all next-gen and xbawks yet still better than any of the recent computer games i've played

Hit me up and I'll give you the full scoop. B)

There's also a good page for continuous risk-like games in different settings, that's fairly hassle free and fun:

http://www.conquerclub.com

You'd need a fairly active group for it, but if everyone's there at the same time you've certainly got a game going. Anybody interested? :chew:

i like playing chess but nobody i know really seems to play i also like pool but that means having to go all the way to the frikkin pub at the top of the road but its free but i dont have anyone to play with anyway we were at the table last week and id have a few cement mixers and waiting to go on this table but some shmucks kept wanting to play anyway the moral of the story is i took their cues back at the end and got the £5 deposit LMAO

i also collect packs of cards but dont know how to play any games hope that helps
