+keewee Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Wow - RISK. That brings back some memories from my university days. The frequent very, very, very late nights playing Risk and wanting to kill my flatmates for killing off my armies. Edited May 17, 2011 by keewee Quote

I can't even remember why, but I had to have it. Quote

Ordered a set So...what were the previous events' coins? Please don't tell me you have a Clue coin (or it may be GBG with the knife in SFC's coin storage room, LOL)! Had to translate to understand. We call the game Clue--Cluedo The first Boardgame event was the Cluedo event, but no coin was made for that event Quote

+fox-and-the-hound Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I wonder if it speaks to my nerdliness that I can recall spending entire 3 day weekends hashing out these games with my friends - lol. Very cool design and cool to see you got the thumbs up from Hasbro! Nice job Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I wonder if it speaks to my nerdliness that I can recall spending entire 3 day weekends hashing out these games with my friends - lol. No, I think a lot of 60s and 70s kids played board games often. No one had PCs and there was no internet. I know we'd pick different friend's homes in our neighborhood and play board games out on the screened in porches all the time. Quote
