Don't really get a chance to read it until after the game's started, anyway.

On one of your turns, dont attack someone.
That way you achieve the same effect, delaying a card, but everyone doesnt hate you.
Also, if you dont take your turn, you can be taken out of the game a lot easier.

The game already impliments resources, though indirectly.
Asia has the most resources, you get seven bonus armies for holding it.

It can't take more than a few minutes to do that, and so you'll most likely be done before it's your turn again.
If not, you've got twenty four hours, feel free to bring a newspaper.
If it's a game people are trying to play quickly (one turn right after another), you've most likely still got time ...

Game Search Suggestion

While searching for games, I suggest making this very small, but very handy, change:

Rather than having those circles you can select only one of, have boxes which you can check. In this way one can search for a few of their prefered types of games without having to do many searches (takes up ...

He asked for it in English, not in two other languages...

I think bumping the number of games up to 5 would be nice. After all, 5 is a much better number than 4, it's a more rounded number. Four is awkward.

Search Change

Hiya,

I think that the options in searching for games should be changed from "select dots" to "check boxes."
This slightly cosmetic change would also allow us to search for more than one type of game, while still excluding others.
For example: Someone may want to play Classic, middle east, or ...

There has always been a lot of debate about wether East Africa connects to the Middle East.
Historically it never has (one had to enter through Egypt and move south). Also, geographically it does not. On top of that the bonus level (3) is one which would have 2 entrances.
I belief the official ...

There is nothing wrong with it at all in any circumstances.

In the end, only one of them can win. Because of this, their alliance WILL end and they will be aware of it. Because they will be aware of it they will be hesitant to let the other get stronger than themselves.

I tend to keep quiet when another player is doing something stupid, unless it's somehow hurting me.

The guy continued to attack me, ignoring the fact that he could ...

I had a game in which a guy deadbeated with 12 armies the Ukraine, Southern Europe, and Western Europe. It essentially gave Asia only two attackable points and cut off Europe from the rest of the world. Easily won the game for me, as I was the one holding Asia.

The motivation is such that you've taken out one of your oppenents. They can no longer attack you, you have the bonus from the countries they had, et cetra.

Because then there would be thousands of armies in Australia, and Asia would be empty.
Actually, it's because it would take a really, really long time to do it like you do in real RISK: taking turns placing three armies at a time.

Though perhaps if the number of units on a territory were ...

I was under the impression that if a person was on your ignore list, you didn't even see games they were in on the game-list.

Spelling the word "u" as "you," and other things that makes them sound really, really stupid. Because they speak like that it's hard to take them seriously, and it makes their mistakes in the game seem worse and their victories seem accidental.

While it may seem suicidal, it's just as suicidal to not get that card. One must also take note that people don't generally attack people just because they have 1 army, they attack in order to get a landmass.

But Radio static isn't random either... Granted it's a difficult to predict and very complex pattern, it's a pattern none-the-less.
Of course if we want to get nitpicky, nothing in this entire universe is random, so it's a mute point.

It should just be a part of the game, you shouldn't have to download things for it.
