You can challenge 3 other famous people throughout history to a game of RISK
who would you select?



Well first I'd pick George W. Bush because I know I could whoop that dumbass's ass pretty easily. I think I would invite Jesus Christ too. He looks like he knows how to hang back, drink a beer and be competitive at world domination. Plus he could lecture Bush on Bush's dumbass knowledge of the Bible and history of Jesus' life. Lastly I'd pick Ghandi - I think he would be great at taking over the world in a game of RISK. He'll toss civil disobeidence out the window!

2. Seriously - only a dumbass would try a different strategy
I'm thinking Bush's strategy is to go after Afghanistan, invade the middle east and then claim "Mission Accomplished" all within the first round. After that his strategy will be none except to keep saying that "We're Winning, We're Winning, Stay the Course"

9. That's why I have alternate strategies with Africa and South America
and I'll always take Siam first and build up troops like I'm ready to pre-emptively invade a country based on lies I've told everyone

11. Trying to unite Asia is the worst thing to try in risk. It's hard to get it all before...
someone says "Hey guys, he's about to take asia, let's fuck him up"
