I don't think he's incapable of 50+ points, but he's not doing that on this team. Like I said he's not Shea Weber

I can't see anybody in a Buffalo Sabres uni scoring 50+ points any time soon.

i think its the most fair way and lucky(if you get a few great spots). Ive never played axis and allies but it already sounds fun, risk is just as long of a game anway. reminds me of the seinfeld episode

Playing a game of Axis and Allies is like punching into work.

Diplomacy is another great one

i actually had a kid in my class as a senior in college do a full presentation on that game and i still didnt understand it by the end. He was scatter brained and all over the place. He was an introvert to put it nicely

It's pretty cool. Basically you're always making deals with people. You make "moves" by suggesting someone else make this/these moves and you'll make these other moves, and then the turn ends and moves are made and you see who keeps their word and thus loses/gains territory.

thats when you make it into a multiple day affair. many times my friends and i would play 3 hours of risk then go out to the bar and have to come back the next night to finish because none of us were safe to roll dice

Never had a Risk game go more than a couple of hrs.

i can see why i got confused but nonetheless sounds fun. or it could turn into a game of monopoly with friends receiving "immunity"

If you want a vintage one it'll cost you anywhere from 40-100 bucks.

i like the dimensions of the different game pieces where its not dumbed down to just rolling dice. You can have infantry with artillery or an air strike. very nice

thats the only one i would buy. 40 doesnt sound too bad honestly. ive paid near 30 for current board games in target walmart etc.

sounds awesome! its really too bad that getting that many people together would really be a bear.

On the money, yeah if youre going to get it you might as well go for the perfect condition one. no sense in buying one with a messed up board and chewed pieces

Problem is she'd rather use batteries....................

Out of Canada and will cost you under a hundo.


Two can play it but it will take forever.

I remember my Uncles playing for like 4hrs and writing down where all their pieces were and then setting it backup the following weekend to put another 4hrs in. Rinse wash repeat for a month.

it says $50 on the link and isnt the original from 1981?

edit: didnt see the shipping

but but but i try real hard
- IndianaSabresFan

Sounds like a personal problem...............

- gerbe42

49.99 plus the 26.22 for shipping.


Gotta remember in the 80's they just kept making the same thing for years on end but only changing the date on the box.

That one is identical to the 1981 version.
