Risk -- Fun Outside the Warhammer World

My family and I usually play some board game or the other during long weekends, holidays, and vacations. We play several, but this last weekend we took some time to play Risk -- The Game of Global Domination. I know lots of people don't like this game, but we've got it down to a level of art and science that lets us reliably complete games in less than three hours. We put on some good music, put out a few nice snacks and drinks, and get down to some friendly dice throwing. This weekend, I was crushed. My wife

and sone duked it out with my wife winning the game in the end. We had a great time!
