Risk: Legacy...

This photo has sent Barnes into a medieval rage of jealousy

Doubtful. If he wants my copy when I'm done, and can accept that there's cities called "Craquilonia" and "The Cuntdome" labelled thereon, that's fine. I doubt this one will be given away, not because I don't want to, but because once I've played it 15 times, that's it.

The game is WAY shorter than Risk normally is, though. 45-75 minutes per game. It's not all about "fuck up all comers", it's more objective based.

Wow, if that is what you called your cities, I shudder to think what Ken's cities will be called!

Don't worry, there's already a planned Averyville and Weeks Woods.

I still think this might go ok as the average family game. Lots of family games are disposable - how many times will you get stumped by the same question in Trivial Pursuit? And families likely will play a game 20 or so times. This would be a fun game to buy for a cottage.

How awesome would it be to have a version of Power Grid you could destroy after every game though.

An interview with Rob Daviau is up at menwithdice.com . Good stuff.

Alas, not marketed to families.

Well shit, that's dumb.

That's been my question all along. The game may be very interesting, but if it isn't found by the interested people it won't sell. 30 years ago they'd advertise a game like this on television, but that may be too pricey these days.

I think the print run on this is pretty small - the owner of my FLGS said it's an Alliance exclusive. I don't think selling out of this one will be a concern. In fact, I'm wondering if a second copy will be available later if I don't pick it up right away.
