so last night we played risk, this is how it looked like right in the beginning:
it was the first time I played in probably more than 10 years, so just the fact of being there was exciting enough for me to start with. the game started slowly, rules were a bit unclear at times, and people were attacking each other left and right without much strategy it seemed. as people got a bit more tired, we decided to speed up the game a bit - you got a new card for each country you conquered.
needless to say, that did speed things up quite a lot. suddenly, the guy who seemed the weakest, managed to conquer a few countries, take over all the countries of another player, and was going to be able to cash in about 100+ armies. we stopped playing when that happened :)
but risk is a really fun game, and hopefully we'll have more playing opportunities soon. just need to balance it a little bit...
