The die were very friendly to me, and I just owned the whole table in like two hours, drunk off my rear end. It ruined a TON of grad school friendships.

Risk is better than monopoly, but still not a great game in most circumstances unless everyone knows the score and has played a few times.

the philosophers that western liberal democracies like are all pretty lame & wrong every little poli sci undergrad student is aghast when Machiavelli says good leaders lie, cheat, murder and steal. "this guy sucks, what he says makes me feel bad about governments but I want to believe they are both good and necessary for the good" lol

Even though naturally modern day robbers barons/Wall street types got drawn to it. Similar to how the Reagan campaign ads in the 80s used "Born in the USA".
