RISK is a war game of strategy, and indirectly, a game of life. Although it may seem overwhelming at first, once you take the time to learn it, it is just so worth it because it forces your mind to think analytically.
Here, Tee is looking bored wondering when her turn is. Bear in mind, she only looks like this when it is NOT her turn.
RISK teaches a child patience, improves their maths as they have to count their soldiers through addition and subtraction (and higher or lesser numbers) for every turn plus the fact that they have to count the dice numbers as dice are used to win or lose the war and it teaches them how to think about getting what they want and how they are going to achieve getting what they want. Totally educational!
Here, Tee is happy because it is finally her turn and what more, she has helped herself to some chocolate brownies whilst waiting for Daddy to finish all his attacks on her soldiers. Tee's soldiers are the ones in green and Daddy's are in red.
If you have any problems playing or understanding the game of RISK by Parker Brothers, email me (mamapumpkin@gmail.com) and I shall do a post on how to play RISK in a very simplified manner.
Otherwise, ENJOY!!!

gawwwddd.......risk!
dreaded game. i suck at it.
i get greedy and at the end of the day, i get obliterated!
i'm surprised tee has the patience for this game to end. it normally takes days to finish!
I think teaching kids to play classic board games is a great idea. For spending quality time with them and teaching them about a little bit of friendly competition!
