Taking a RISK...and Failing. Miserably.

I never have played RISK before...never. Not once.

Neither had Evan until he got the game for Christmas.

You would think that would put the two of us on a level playing field against Scott, as seasoned RISK veteran.

Nope.

Look at my paltry presence in New Guinea and Australia. And look at Evan's juggernaut. Yes, the inevitable happened.

It also happened to my weak, but definite, stronghold in North America courtesy of Scott.

I was out of the game in less than 30 minutes.

I think I will stick to Scrabble from now on.
