Ever heard of the Uncertainty principle?

I'm surprised nobody's said this one yet.

"I'm sorry, I don't do one-on-one."

What I'm alluding to is the understanding that you need to have openings to be able to do many things. Even if most of those plays are ones you won't take, their possibility is a threat to other players that they'll have to take into account. If you have the same general focus throughout a battle ...

Remember, don't put all your eggs in one casserole.

Team games? Learning?
Count me in.

This poll brings up an interesting subject.

If someone is the most annoying to you, why would you help them win something? And why would you give them the satisfaction of knowing that they've succeeded in annoying you? So wouldn't people be inclined to cast their votes for the least annoying ...

This is purely theoretical, along with much of the rest of my strategies.

So I've played a few dozen games, and won just a couple. There are some strategies ...

I just started playing a couple weeks ago, but I've learned several basic strategies. Some of them I never would have discovered just from playing Risk, as I had before.

Minimize the number of border points you have. Let's say you're playing on a map with lots of neutrals. If you only have 2 ...

It's just a question of which will benefit you more: denying an opponent a few extra armies per turn, or getting a new bonus for yourself.

And then you need to bring the costs in. If they would cost the same, you generally want to go after the opponent, because that kicks in instantly whereas ...

Now can someone explain in what reality does ruling the whole of China hold the same value (+1 territory) as owning Hawaii.
