I enjoy the new style of board games that take less than an hour to play. The ones I grew up with were such a commitment that I constantly turned down playing them. “Uh no thanks, I have to go to bed in 8 hours. There’s just not enough time for that.” On more than one occasion a game of Risk was carefully transferred to the top of the refrigerator so it could be completed after a round of sleep and showering.
But Risk is so worth it!
It’s especially fun when you have 4-5 other people instead of 1-2. Then everyone’s trying to make allegiances and whatnot.
Oh man, last summer we tried playing Axis & Allies, it took us like an hour just to go through the rulebook. Risk x Advance Wars. Crazy.
Wow…the comic is eerily familiar. That same thing happened to me about five years back, except the cat was going after the game pieces instead of the dice. Sufficed to say, I was really mad at the cat for screwing up five hours of playing (and me winning at the time).
Oh this is rich. *eyes his dog that ate the Yahtzee dice, eyes his cat that knows better*
of course then there’s your pit bull who eats a $50 dollar book that your borrowing from someone
So… did he get the sixes?
Epic Risk game, 3 days, and turning in card matches for armies we had to use quarters to represent 10 armies each because we had run outta men… At one point there was about $5 in change on the board along with all the armies. The third day was mostly just the final battles as we broke alliances and massive attacks began. Yeah, didn’t have a life yet then.
My cat would do that. but only when i was winning
I know what that’s like… I also know what it is like to play a game that requires a whole free weekend, a sum total of some dozen hours to play.
And this is why you don’t call your cat Sixes.
