I'm sad to hear that you didn't enjoy 7, which was otherwise the most exciting game yet.
I should clarify this. As an observer, and someone who appreciates the game greatly, the nuke going off and scarring that area forever is awesome. As the person whom it happened to, that part almost ruined my night. I did recover and enjoy myself during the second game, where I broke in the Mutants for our group.
Between my Game 7 responsibility for destroying Afghanistan and my ruthlessness in Game 8, I think I'm the clear Risk Legacy Villain now. BEHOLD THE POWER OF CONQUEST FUEL! I fully expect that Games 9 and 10 will start with everyone else uniting to destroy me. Which would be cool, because then we could get some more comeback powers into play.
I am prepared to call you the Tywin Lannister of our world. I would never call you the Joffrey, though. I wouldn't do that to anybody, really. Hold on, I'll come up with Game Of Thrones equivalencies for our entire group. I fear I am Eddard Stark. And I, too, am eager to see more comeback powers.
The Middle East and Russia form the spine of the Risk board. Anyone who wants to control Asia or Europe needs both of those territories.
And now those two territories are bordered by the Fallout scar, and there are three Fallout cards in the Event deck. Granted, they'll eventually be destroyed, but they're there for now...
