Winning a Game of Risk Against My Dutch Family-In-Law
Breaking News about my continued attempts to beat my Dutch family-in-law in a game of Risk!
I have emerged victorious. Many said it could not be done. Many said I would not survive. Many said I would be driven insane trying but against all odds I have prevailed and emerged victorious.
There were times when defeat seemed inevitable but even in the darkest hour I never lost hope, I never gave up. And now, because of this determination, I can proudly declare that this day will hence forth be remembered as the day I beat my Dutch father-in-law, brother-in-law and wife at a game of Risk (and that they are never allowed to mention what happened in Mongolia again).
Assignment: North American & Africa
I fully expected to be hand over command of the Dutch military any day now since I am clearly the man for the job.

Hey, you’re already the King of Holland, so why not? :)
(I don’t know how to play this game. Did you have the blue pieces? Or the pink ones?
whaha! Blue, that’s me! Don’t I look important and a strong army on the board???
…Or was it the yellow pieces? I don’t know anymore…
You’ll have to teach us tisk later, it sounds fun
Luuk – Well yes… but… I had a lot on my mind ok… like the whole of Asia :p
Barb the French Bean – I was the yellow pieces yes :) I always play yellow
The wife – And trust you to take Great Britain from me
Dragonlady – It’s very complex but it is a lot of fun
Well of course you won then Stu…you have America and America always wins! :D
But really, letting anyone take NA is just asking to get pwned. How’d you trick them into letting you have that?
Who had Europe? Because Europe always wins.
Wrong Side of the Pond – I stormed through and took the whole country in my last turn :) We play a very slow game.
Luuk – I think it was my brother in law who had the biggest force in Europe but no one was ready to take it and you can’t hold it for long
I remember my boyfriend and his friends playing that when we were students (or something incredibly like it). See, the desire for world domination is inside every man, even one as mild and seemingly harmless as Invader Stu (check the name, though)….mongolia was lucky to escape being invaded…poor old Holland didn’t :-D
I never really played risk, i should.
Ah yes. Mongolia. A very difficult country to take. Atleast when I am playing with my friends. Managed to hold it against all odds for three turns, with only 5 pieces, against 15 orso. Did eventually loose the game, but it messed up the game for many players who thought they could get an easy kill and steal my cards…
This is Mongolia!!
Dang, I really should’ve returned sooner to respond to this. Stu outranking me, pffft. Enough reason to drop some Kirov Bombs on his head, but he’s long gone and my Kirovs need new gas. :-(
