Oh man. You should get together with one of my uncles. He got a few of us to play Risk with him at a family get-together once. Unfortunately, he came up with this suggestion after dinner. The freaking game lasted until ~2:00 AM. :sleep:

Like I said, he got us to play once. :roflmao:

The very reason I liked this one better, although true gamers probably thought it too simple:

Yes indeed I would’ve like tomeet him!! Your uncle must be dedicated and a True Believer in The Art of Risk Enjoyment! However, he did not take you into the hallowed halls Of The Risk Endurance Run. It used to get so intense around our house, the games would last all weekend.:roflmao::roflmao:. Oh yes,we’d play into the wee hours, stop, sleep, eat breakfast and resume the game! Lol. At this stage of the game though, I’d settle for the 2am deadline.:smug:

He was a Marine, so if something involved any kind of strategy or military campaign, he was all over it. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had theoretical plans to take the houses on the next block. :laugh:

That's how my buddies and I used to play D&D. :D But for some reason, staring at that Risk board just made my eyes glaze over. :wacky:

Heh! Funny you say that. Since this is a thread for things we don't see any more, I could probably just post this:

Oh they are most certainly still around...in back yards, and in specialized businesses ("Air Time") that have nothing but tramps.

Interestingly, look in most every backyard in the state of Utah. You'll have a good chance of seeing one!

Oh, I know trampolines are around. Just not the public trampoline parks.

I sure do know about Utah and trampolines from selling home insurance.
