playing risk is...very...long. although we figured we'd try a new rule for shorter gameplay.


well, it was one of those cases where it kept going back and forth. i ended up with a bunch of areas all over the place but i figured with average luck i could take south america and africa in one round.

NO!

i lost horribly in my attempts to get it. but i got south america and played defense in my little corner.

mariah had the US stare
mom had asia scream
dad had australia, accidentally gained africa, and almost had Europe. gonk

but i had to take central america from Mariah since i couldn't let her get 5 guys at the beginning of each round. well that bloodbath kept going back and forth. my dad kept telling me not to worry about him not attacking me from africa (probably since i was already fighting mariah for him who threatened his european future settlement.

oh, that new rule. it works so that everyone starts off with one headquarters. you only win if you control everyone's. if yours' is taken, you still can play though. mine was in madagascar (well dad took mine off the bat) mariah's was greenland so her and my dad kept stacking men between greenland and iceland. mom's was some asian territory i can't pronounce lol and dad's was New Guniea (in Australia's purple area). yeah, scattered all over the ******** place, it will shorten it, but NOT BY MUCH!!

well i thought all hope was lost but i had to point out to mariah that mom and dad were the biggest players on the map and that the only way either of us would survive is if we let eachother have our continents and move in. well, that screwed dad over; he was in the middle of me, mariah, and mom. lol yeah, he didn't last very long after that one, put up a good fight though. those damn risk cards completely turn things around since each time one's turned in you get more men (first one gets you 4, then 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 and so on)

well mom got her kickass army first (12) and used it to finally breach australia and take away from dad. mariah went next (15) and and stormed through europe and took one of dad's from africa. all he had left by the time it was my turn was madagascar, and i wanted it back, and conveniently enough i had just enough men do it fine, but on top of that, i had another set of cards so i got 20 men. mooti (inside joke, Jaymes better remember that one!).

plus 3 from the minimum
plus 2 for owning south america

woohoo!

i took back africa in one turn. and the truce between me and mariah was revoked since i took it back. and since it was revoke i took back central america so she wouldn't get her additional five guys each turn. twisted

but it got even better for me!

i took out dad since other than africa, he only one guy in western Europe, well within my target range. and i was more motivated since the rule book says i get the risk cards of the player i anhialate if i do so. he had another set! mom doesn't have enough for a set, and my sister might, but i'll find out tomorrow ninja (we put it on pause since everyone was tired) even if she does, she gets 25 guys and then i get 30 on my turn since i have my dad's set. muahahahaha

well, i came back from being that person who's stuck with like, 7 guys in the corner, to dominating with an iron fist! for the first time, africa and south america will be feared! lol

twisted

did you seriously read all that? you must be very bored.
