“My lord…The King in the North has asked for your allegiance…do you yield?”
“Um…who of the what now?”
“Also, my Lord, the king in the East has asked for your allegiance…do you yield?
“What, I…uh, no?”
“My lord, the King in the…”
“Wait, What?…How many damn kings are there?”
By last count 23…One per castle…and some guy living in a mud hut north of the wall…you see, ever since that fat Robert fell on a boar, everybody with a sword and a title is calling themselves king.”
“Well, I say, that’s silly. I’ll stay right here and play Uno in Winterfell where its safe from everybody…”
This weeks Game…or Games as it were are Card Games!!! Uno, The Game of Thrones, and if we are feeling saucy, maybe even Magic the Gathering. WEEEEeeeee……
Uno, the classic game of wits and color
The Game of Thrones
GNP - Mission RISK
by Dagz on Jan.17, 2008, under Game Night Playahs
“The enemies are at the gates Penfold! We must rally our troops and prevent Dr. Frankenstoat and his red invaders from marching across the Asian Continent! His massive Australian army has moved into Mongolia! If Irkutsk falls, so falls all of Russia and Eastern Europe!!! INTO THE FRAY, my trusted manservant!!!!!”
“Kor…chief, I don’t even know where Irkutsk is…is that like a russian thing?!?!? I mean it sounds russian, but…well there’s Ukraine, Russia of course, Chekoslovakia….I just never heard of Irkus….”
“Penfold! Irkutsk!!!…for crying outloud…its only the largest city in Siberia!!!”
“Then, why don’t they call it Siberia….I mean they have a whole separate space for Sibe….”
“Penfold….Shush!”
My generals and generees, this weeks game is RISK! But not just any old RISK…No sir, its MISSION RISK!!! (or if the mood strikes Team Risk) This is keeping with the game variant themes of the past. Mission Risk and Team Risk are vast improvements over the original game (in so far as game nights go) in that they are MUCH MUCH faster. BOX art is go!

“AH, young padawan, let them listen to their druggie music, I have more important things to worry about…fore Friday nights are for line dancing lessons! AHAHAHAHAH, Hey macarana! They all want me, but they can’t have me….HEEEEY macarena..that song is soooo catchy!”
“No, sir, JUNTA…a government run by a Military commitee! They will over throw you!”
“eh, well I still have my army.”
