"Giant Risk"

Drink whisky, push little plastic army guys around with sticks, conquer the world. Sounds good to me.

I think I'll stop at Phase 1, thanks.

And thus with the addition of whisky, the Free World remains free for just a bit longer. . . I especially liked the clock in the background of the first (real WWII) photo.

Somehow I'd pictured "Giant Risk" as being kind of like Giant Chess, with actual people standing in for the gamepieces.

...Possibly not the best idea.

The local SF club used to play "Jupiter Risk" You place 3 (or more) Risk boards edge to edge. From there the details are fuzzy in my mind (it's been 25 years or so)

That gets out of hand at the endgame, when you try to cram 157 people into Greenland and go on a tear through North and South America... although with enough whiskey, you just might get people to do it. :)

I am made happier for knowing that concept exists.

It'd be like a new form of LARPing...but what about people who don't want to be soldiers and want to be generals and such? Oooh, trouble brewing.
