  • HA HA HA! Where's your precious New Zealand now, traciloser? You're not even on the board!
  • Oh dear.
  • If you're going to make a game about it, it's a good idea to work out who the terrorists are and what it means to have a never-ending war on an abstract noun. Mmm. Quite. This so-called "bored game" is an enemy of freedom. Let us never forget the terrible game of 9/11. When we were attacked. By Osama Milton Bradley. And defended ourselves against Saddam Hussein from taking an extra $20 when they bought B&O Railroad. Peace and the American people. *smirks, farts, undermines constitution*
  • *drops a dime* *loses turn*
  • Risk + Settlers = WAR ON TERROR!!!! It could be interesting, but probably fades quickly. I'll wait for the Boardgamegeek reviews.
  • Pfft. No Pop-O-Matic. How fun can it be?
  • But it has a "YOU ARE EVIL" spinner. That could be useful at work.
  • I've played games of Risk® that ended in mass detruction.
  • Andrew Sheerin said: “Why are people so shocked by Suicide Bomber cards? There’s much worse than that – there’s War, Regime Change, WMDs, Nuclear Weapons … That’s how sick this game is.” “Just because we use humour, doesn’t mean we don’t take it seriously. Sometimes it takes a new approach to make people think differently.” Anybody remember a game called Supremacy? Every single game of it ended it total nuclear annihalation. annilation... anihilation... hmmm...
  • Oh, and there's some q&a regarding game play with one of the designers over at BGG.
  • Well, now we now what the terrorists have won.
  • When I was 10, I'd declare jehad on the other players and dump the board on the floor. You lose, suckers! Good times. Good times.
  • Well, now we now what the terrorists have won. Come on down!!
  • HA HA HA! Where's your precious New Zealand now, traciloser? You're not even on the board! That's reason enough to boycott! Leaving NZ off, that's just despicable. This reminds me of something - once when we were playing risk, one of my friends wasn't doing so well. He only had one country - so we said that since this was the 20th century (well, it was at the time), he could bomb anywhere in the world from his country. He had Afghanistan.
  • I gotta get this. If not now, when? I mean if it goes on much longer it's not going to be funny anymore and if it gets resolved....
  • Well, I think it must be delightful to live in a country that can be left off a map of the world. Because, really, given a choice, would ye WANT to join the rest o' the fools?
  • I wonder how many people would actually notice. I mean, isn't New Zealand somewhere near Iceland anyway?
  • That's New Squeeeland.
  • New Squeeeland, the land of pandas, kittens, cats stacked on other cats, and more pandas.
  • oh good grief!
