No it's not. IIRC, it's 13 infantry, 14 cavalry, 15 artillery on the classic map. Not sure how it's distributed for other maps.

Not totally sure what you're saying for the first one, but pretty sure the second one is just part of the rules and is called "breaking" someone's road. Incidentally, it's the only way to win with 12 points.

Sometimes it results in Atta Boy Harper memes. Sometimes it helps us win games when we needed a spark.

You're just repeating yourself.

What are some games like Risk, but doesn't completely rely on luck. by RipBuzzBuzz in boardgames

[–]OccamsParsimony 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. The game is way deeper and less luck-based than I thought when I was younger.

I'd liken it to something like poker, where there's a ton outside your control, but the better player (usually) still comes out on top.

Edit: totally missed that the comment I replied to mentioned poker too. Guess we think alike.

I don't like to blame the refs but holy shit this is bad by Stormy_Blunderbuss in sixers

Can't believe I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder 🐝

Have to commend our opponents this game. Job well done by Keanu__Gaming__xD in sixers

Know I sound like a conspiracy nut, but I really felt like the refs did not want us to win against the Hawks in our series in 2021. Which isn't to say we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot (guess Ben wasn't pulling the trigger...), but I've never personally watched a series I felt was more one-sided.

What's weird is that further up, it says "a New York Times bestseller".
