Sam I don't understand how you can call the game unbalanced due to bad play by some new and/or poor players, why not just sit down those players and give them some strategy tips?

I also don't understand people that complain about only being able to play it once, I have paid more money than the cost of Risk Legacy for video games that I only play through once and some have provided less than 15 hours of gameplay.

I really liked seeing the two of you disagree.

@mahalaps3...forgot to backspace:)

I can see myself owning buying this game and replicating all of the cards and stickers and making "coins" so that it's not really permanent.

*Haven't Watched the Video yet* Could anyone tell me if they ended up spoiling anything in this review?

Looks like you need to pick your opponents for this game wisely instead of just random people. I have not played this game myself yet, but if Sam is worried about Tom being super cheese why not put the pressure on him in the game in order to stop him from taking advantage of "weaker" players. That is what I do in any land grabbing game where I know I am playing against someone who is more experienced than my other opponents. In war you have to exploit the weak to win, there is no "fairness".

@jdogg67333 Ideally, you and four friends would pitch in to buy it, and the five of you would play it as a group.

He pointed at ireland and said great britian ireland has absolutely nothing to do with the u.k we are our own independent country we fuck all to do with the british.

So you spend $60.00 on a game that some one else may write on, put stickers on and rip up. SCREW THAT! The price needs to come down about $40.00. this is about a $20.00 game from my point of view.

how do u decide who starts where on the board?

Though I agree with baldy that the point system can be bad, and don't think the solution is to remove the system alltogether, because how games worked in classic was terrible. More than half the time it ends up being massive cash in after massive cash in until one massive army wins. The problem with that is how fast you can conquer a bunch of unoccupied or weakly defended territories. If there was something like movement or distance restrictions, than there would be no problem with this system

@wjpatterson1337 I just feel that with as expensive as most board games are I should play them more than just 1 or 2 times. I think my issue is this game seems to cater more to a group who plays together for 15 times in a row. If I had a dedicated group who would do that then it probably wouldn't be bad.
