I'm sad that my Risk Legacy game isn't seeing any more play.
Yeah, I know, it's Risk, and fuck that noise. I get it. But Legacy is such a fun way to play Risk. For one, the game is shortened so you can win without global conquest. For another, you can watch the world change. I enjoy that part. I like that the Ukraine is a radioactive wasteland. I like that Central America is not a chokepoint anymore because it's hard to set up a defense there. I like that I get a bonus if I control Europe and that players keep me from controlling Europe.
I think Legacy games are a neat idea, and I will probably buy Pandemic Legacy. It has the benefit of not being Risk, so I might see more play in my group. Still, I can't believe I have a hard time finding players for a game that evolves like that, even with Risk. Hell, because it's Risk. One of the most notorious classic board games, and it gets warped.
Oh well, it sits on my shelf for now. It's probably about halfway through. I haven't even tried opening the packet that warns you not to open the packet.
