World Domination

I prefer Risk circa 1968 because:

1. I wish they still had pink armies.

2. It wasn't a game of world domination but instead a "continental game"

3. The armies were made of wood

4. The big armies could double as food in my doll house because they looked like jelly beans.

5. They used color gradients on the countries and not just one solid color for the whole continent.

Where did the soldier put his armies?

In his Sleevies!!!

I hope his armies were pink, made of wood, and looked like jelly beans (cotton candy flavor, obviously).

I remember this one game I had and I don't remember the name, but it involved the following: Penguins, tissue (a simulation of ice), and water. The commercial made it seem like loads of fun as the "ice" collapsed under the weight of the penguins. In real life, not so much. Damned commercials!
