My obsession with board games only really took off about 2 years ago but I have always played the classics for as long as I can remember: Chess, Cluedo, Scrabble, Monopoly, Trivia Pursuit... 7pm every Sunday it is. But there was always one game that was obviously missing from this collection, one which I almost felt embarrassed admitting that I did not own, or actually have played. "It’s the 4th most popular game" my Dad said, teasing me. To be honest with you I thought I was compulsory that all British Citizens have this game, you know like it’s the law to have read Harry Potter. But apparently not. Yesterday was Sunday and it was literally last night, after having a good game of Carcassonne that my father and I were discussing the problem, my understanding is he was quite fond of the game, then as if this Stranger was Santa himself the next day I get a box through the post and as I open it, it was exactly what you're thinking, Risk! Risk, written across the box in full metal upper case letters with an imposing figure plunging a red flag into the ground. Now I can sleep for the first time in 8 years. Cheers! I have decided not to open it till Christmas, giving it the proper admiration it deserves and I will most certainly upload photos of us playing it.

Thank you very much and have a very Merry Christmas Im_On_Youtube
