The difference between chess and CC

[jammyjames]

Yahtzee's dice have never screwed me over..

With 3 or 2 dice here in CC, I get punished. With 5 dice however I seem to do much better

I suppose you could say the similarity is that they both involve dice... I'm afraid that's all i got

Haven't you ever tried to get a large straight towards the end of a yahtzee game, only to not succeed?!?!

That's a fair point - The struggle of getting a large straight can be frustrating,

In chess it is possible to go to your local club and find of hardened veterans ready to do battle face to face. With risk, the possibilities for real over-the-board games are restricted to drunken family members on New Years Day.

So true. I always ask if anyone wants to play Risk, and no one says yes and everyone says no.
But here on CC, everyone says yes and no one says no.

Deep thoughts contained within both of these posts.

I'm not sure I remember the last times I played either chess or risk in-person.

Chess is much harder to master and have only one element of luck.
