Help My Game - RISK

Posted by timothy on Wednesday July 16, 2003 @01:59AM from the game-theorizing dept.

calebb writes "RISK is a classic board game that's been around since 1959. This week, Science News posted an article titled 'Improving the Odds in RISK.' They mention that '...the chances of winning a battle are considerably more favorable for the attacker than was originally suspected.' Amazing! Risk is over 40 years old & nobody ever calculated the odds of winning a 5 vs. 5 battle!"

In a game of Puerto Rico there is no doubt who is a better person.
I don't know, I don't play board games to find out who is a 'better person'. I play to have fun and socialize with friends. I enjoy playing Risk, and so do my friends.
