Trog - Is this the co-op Lord of the Rings game? I have that one. It is pretty fun but just about impossible to win.

It is the co-op game. And I've won it a few times. Lost it a bunch too. But it's not impossible to win, just hard.

Oh, I love Nightfall! How do you play again???

I'm going to be running Zombies!!! the board game. I have to exp[ansions to go with and was thinking of doing it as a Team vs Team. Each team of four starting at opposite ends of the board and fighting to get to the Heli-Pad in the middle first...

Are you referring to Risk Legacy?

I'm playing it with a group currently.
It's pretty good, and it's worth a play, but the discovery of the new rules and cards and the changes you make to the board can't hide the fact that you're playing 15 games of risk. By about game 11, you're fed up with "That guy who holes up in Australia" and "Why the hell did we put THAT sticker THERE!?!?!"

Y'know, just like regular Risk.
If you can look at yourself in the mirror and say "I'd play Risk at a convention", then it's a pretty cool version of the game, but I'm not sure I'd spend an entire weekend trying to get through the 15 games to get to the end.

V- Not sure what you're inferring with Nightfall.... ;)

I always play to have a good time, never to win. That's my secret!

Last time JP it was either let him win or you win, and of course I couldn't let him win! That goes against me religion.

I like Ninja, I haven't won yet, have played it a few times always as the Ninja. I think the guards have an advantage honestly. I think I did a game review in the local gaming thread once for it. I want to play again with 4 people and see how it goes.
