I’ve played Risk twice in my life, both times in the past six months. I definitely missed the boat on this one. So much counting. And someone keeps rolling the dice off the table accidentally. It’s not fun? But I can see how you’d be brainwashed into liking it if you started at an age under 43.

I’ve managed to avoid it so far, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Oh btw, thought of you the other day when I ate a bunch of tinned sardines on wasa crackers. “I bet Sarah also eats this kind of thing”

Oh that’s hilarious, yes I do like a nice tin of sardines - on toast but a cracker would also be fine. 😂

I mentioned to someone the other day that I put milk in my hot black tea and they said How British! Is it? Hm

Very! I have to fight every time I ask for it in a deli (they want to add sugar).

Huh. I guess those BBC on PBS shows affected me more than I thought.

RISK is... weak. Try Axis & Allies... then spend 10 hours on one game. Much more involved.

I LOVE RISK!! I played it a few times with my brother and his hs buds. But I kept kicking their asses so I was uninvited.

I get it but I don’t get it, if you know what I mean. I’m a Trivial Pursuit person. Like 1980s version where you have to specify East or West Germany

I get it, because I don’t really get the game. It was a matter of being a young girl, beating the crap out of much older teenage boys. It’s sort of fed on itself!

It’s on Netflix! I like that show so much that it became my personality for a few weeks last spring

risk isn't about "fun", it's about bullying and humiliating the other players....making and breaking alliances along the way it's a family game
