Strategy Games; Friday, 08.14.09; Fifth period
There were only two boxes out on the tables today.
"Today," Reid said, as the class assembled. "Today I thought we'd try something a little more complicated. Today," he continued, gesturing to the two boxes. "Risk itself is a relative newcomer, compared to the other games we've done so far, but as a war game, it's part of a tradition that goes back... that goes back as far as war itself does. Many of the games we play in modern times are in essence war games - the simulated and highly stylised battlefield of chess, for example. Risk is just more blatant about being what it is.
"The rules of the game should be in each box. If either is missing a set, or there's something you don't understand, come to me and I'll explain it, but part of learning about board games is learning how to read the directions." He flashed the class a quick smile, before sitting down at his desk.
((pls wait for OCD is up!))
