WHA HAHAHAHAH

Its finally happend, I got to put my risk board to use. This past weekend I managed to get 5 people together for a marvelous game of risk.
It was great fun.
I will give you a break down of the game soon enough, just hold out a little longer.

The Disdain

Who would have guessed that orginizing a game of risk worul be more difficult than obtaining a giant version of the game.
But alas that is the case indeed.
I have made 2 failed attempts so far and and well on the way to a third such defeat.
Though a number of people have expressed interest in the idea of playing, the difficulty in schedualing is proving to be a menace.
between, vacations, visitors, work, parties, school and lack of money for gas and holidays creadted for the express purpose of getting drunk, ...getting a group of people together is no easy task.
Sure i could get 2 other people together and have a 3 player game, but who wants to play a giant game of risk without the full game?
Esspecially for the first game..i want to make the first game played on my awsome board to be a big one, cause they happen so rarely.
I will doccument (video tape, photograph, take notes about) the first game when it does eventually happen.
In game development news, i have made 3 sticks to move the armies, these are of course the first prototypes, being limited to a 2 foot wooden dowel and a rectangular pice of wood on the end, but they will do. I have tested them, and they seem to work...for now.
Thats about it. untill next time...keep the dream alive.
ps: if anyone knows where i could get a cardboard tube over 3 feet long, please let me know.
