Hey guys, congrats on your 300th episode!
Considering it came up that you might not try it (and it may be further hampered by the fact that it's not for 2 players) I thought I'd let you know we ARE going to try Risk: Legacy. This is absolutely NOT our style of game...3 of played it some 20 years ago back when we were in college, and all of us quickly decided there just wasn't enough to the game. As a group I would say we favor HEAVY games, 18xx being amongst our favorites with little randomness, but we can also enjoy much lighter fare...so this will be quite the stretch for us. However, 3 of us are, or were in my case, videogame designers, so we have an inherent interest in "new ideas," and experiential games.
There's a good chance we'll play our first game this Friday, and we've committed to playing at least 4 games out of the 15. If we play more than that, well, that will mean there is something truly special here. If we play it more than a couple times a month, that will also mean there is something special here--there have only been a handful of games which have seen back-to-back repeated play over the 6 year span of the four of us getting together every Friday to play games.
Here's my personal prediction: I think we'll play 3 games, over 2 months, and it'll never come out again. I hope it proves me wrong, but I'll let you know.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes!
