Today while eating dinner, I overheard Adam in the family room teaching Julie and her friends how to play Risk. Once he was satisfied that they understood the jist of the game he left them to play it.
But rather than focused stress and anger at the battle for world domination, we heard lots of giggling and comments like,
"It's okay, Lizzy, you can totally take Germany if you want it."
Or, "Carly, can my troops come into Ecuador? I'll only do it if it's for sure okay with you..."
It's just different for girls.
Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThey're so cool. I mean, like, YEAH, their parents had to drive them to the theater, but like, it's totally fine, cause they're sooo super cool anyway.
I never liked Risk. I always felt tempted to cheat. Okay, still do.
I agree! My husband practically fell off the couch when I asked him why we couldn't just "share" the world. We haven't played together since then :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is different. I've only played that game with guys, and it usually ends almost in a fist fight. Hilarious! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, Rich loves risk and asks me to play it like every weekend. It's sort of become a joke, I guess I should give it a shot, but world dominion has never made it on my list...
