Tonight I got to roll out the new RISK game that Tiffany and Alex gave me for Christmas. We played a simplified version of the game that makes it easier to understand, and quicker to play. It still took about an hour and a half. Alex loved it, but I think he was ready to quit by the time I crushed both him and Tiffany. Tiffany has never liked RISK, and did not pretend to like it this time . . . but she played, since it cannot be played by two people.
I wish Tiffany would play it more; it's a great game for kids. It reinforces math, and teaches geography and strategy. I love to see Alex playing purely strategic games, instead of the chutes-and-ladders-type pure chance games that kids so often play.
