Back by popular demand, it’s the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

This week’s prompt: Risk is a strategic game of global domination. Each player controls a color-coded army and tries to gain control of as much territory as possible, with the ultimate goal of taking over the entire board. Your army grows each turn based on which territories you control, with bonuses for controlling entire continents. The game can be played with 2-6 players, and a single game can last quite a long time. Share your thoughts on Risk below, and enjoy this Numberphile video about a little bit of the math behind the game.
