Risky to Let them Play...


I came accross another blog where the game Risk seems to be a hot topic. This photo came accross and I thought this would be a classic photo to include. Do you see her reaction when she lost?

I think the recent comments from the previous post really highlighted one thing. Why in the world would we want the wives to play with us? Do you see her reaction losing a game she probably got forced to play? Not pretty when everyone goes home!

We might as well be real with each other avoid the trouble that comes along with letting the ladies play. Is it really worth getting their cards like I took from my lady friend Joel? On a positive note, if our wives came dressed like her, it could make the game at least a little interesting. So maybe we should let them go shopping before the game since that is what they really want to do.


Here are some comments from the web-site on Risk. I'll share a few of them here: http://www.funagain.com/control/product?product_id=07838

"That game that starts us all off"
"Simple, Fun, Timeless"
"The best game ever"
"We are a family addicted to Risk"
"Risk is one of the best boardgames ever invented"
"This is a classic"

So when does this tournament start without the ladies. What is our budget for them to go shopping, $5 to $7? Maybe we should just give them slurpie money for the kids and send them to the park while the credit cards stay with us? -Mike

I think slurpee money is definitely enough. I talked to Sean and he wants in the tournament....might I also add that one win against me doesn't make up for losing in a game of Risk in 15 minutes.

Slurpie money to take the KIDS to the mall? Oh no! The kids stay with the dads during risk.

my kids only like popcorn with daddy and michael so i guess you see where that leaves us, doing just we want and the kids with you. see you when we return with all of our purchases.
