Like I can remember back that far? I'll take your word for it though, because I do get more of a rush there than here!
chess, its slow and you have to think about every move, risk is much faster, less thought involved but with the same competitive nature, actually i think risk is more competitive.
Originally posted by irishdonkey2I'm better at Risk, and there's the thrill of taking over the world. There are also smaller victories -- when you eliminate one of the players, so even if you don't win the game there are smaller wins or reinforcers. I understand Risk. But my brain misses a lot of moves in chess. I just can't see ahead more than one or two moves.

Originally posted by pawnhandleri'm the same, risk feel a lot easier, but the luck factor is annoying, chess will always have that over risk.

Originally posted by irishdonkey2You guys should try warhammer - there is a luck element there too but since many dice are rolled during a battle, the better strategist tends to come out on top as you can influence the dice in your favour by planning out your moves well.
