Book of Mormon RISK

Post by _Dr. Shades »

The thread title refers to "Risk" the board game.

Our newest (as of this writing) member, Gamemaster, has a game you can play online that's essentially Risk for the Book of Mormon.

I had this idea myself about 10 and 1/2 years ago, but sort of let it drop since I apostatized in the meantime. Still, it's good to see someone finally run with this. My only criticism is that I would've gone with Sorenson's geography instead of making up my own, but oh well, I'm a shameless tinkerer of games anyway.

Take a look at:

We used to play a rendition of this on the mission called thrash.

We weren't allowed to buy board games so the ZL's made one. Great loophole, eh?

I'm a gamer (face-to-face, not computer) at heart, so this intrigues me. Can you tell me a little about thrash? What was the setting, what were the win conditions, was it a board game, a card game, a dice game, or something else, etc.?

Pretty funny!

It's not. He made it up.

It's been 26 years. It was a spitting image of Risk, I think it had Book of Mormon names..

IF he goes very far the Copyright owners of RISK may well end up taking everything he has or will ever own. Ever hear of Intellectual Property rights?

Not if he's already appeased the copyright gods.

How sweet would that be to see a Mormon PWNED for that?
