This is probably my favorite board game. Axis and Allies looks pretty good, but I lost my instruction booklet for that before I ever got the chance to play with other people (which means that my purchase was a big waste of money, or so it will be until I get off my butt and print off the rules from the internet). Oh, and then there's the addicting strategy game of Civilization IV (which is now obsolete due to the copy of Civ V that I won't buy). In any case, based off of my experience, Risk is the most awesome board game ever. For people interested in playing this game online, there is a site called LandGrab, stocked with enough exotic maps to fill the Grand Canyon. My username is Kraggh. That shouldn't be too difficult for anyone here to remember. Mostly, I play games against the computer, and I have only participated in games with actual players twice. It lacks charm and fun when I don't know the players I'm up against. Ergo, I'm open to a change if a group of three or more BZPers would be open to playing a game sometime. If you haven't tried LandGrab yet, play a few games against computer players first. You'd be surprised at how well you can customize the rules. Of the many maps on that site, I would like to list some of my favorites (other than, obviously, classic Earth): A Pixelated Earth 166 Countries Alpha Orion Black Hole Research Facility Burning Lands Bush V Gore (politics have nothing to do with this - I find it cool that every territory is a continent) Cube 2 Impossible Stairs Jurassic 170mya King of the Hill (there's a glitch when I try starting this game, though, so I can't recommend it) LEGO 3D1A (Hey, this is perfect for BZPower!) LEGO 3D1B The Escher Set M Theory Classic MAD MarsBC (a favorite among favorites, considering that I play it often, and it's a good size for a casual game) MarsNorthPole3D Martian Chronicals (yes, it's misspelled) Martian Chronicals v2 Mindwarp monopoly (a favorite among favorites because of the unique flavor it creates and how it combines two of the best board games ever) Moonbase 2 (there seems to be a similar glitch here as with King of the Hill) Nerd Alert Pinball Ocean Currents One Way Mayhem 3D One Way Mayhem MKII PangaeaLG planetary war (good for games of two or three players) Protozoa Sector 12 (another favorite among favorites) Star Wars OT (A good standard sized game fit for five or six players, and with a subject matter most of us would like) The Avatar World The Extreme Americas The Extreme Americas v2 The Moon The Third Hive of the Swarm TheNetherlands (a favorite among favorites because I'm Dutch) Venus I actually haven't played all of these, though I added them all to my favorites anyway because the concept stood out. In my mind, "favoriting" something on this site is more like bookmarking it. I will try testing them all out for bugs sometime, but it will take a while. If any of us were to start an online game as a group of BZP Riskers, I suppose this topic could be used as a billboard to discuss game progress. 24601
