It depends on the people you get. I've had great random games where everyone ended up role playing as the period appropriate leader of their country. I've also had games where nobody talked to each other leaving me wondering why we were playing.
- specialist 6y agoTwo of my friends sometimes enjoyed role playing as me. Imagine Robin Williams playing board games who always tried to "shoot the moon" (Hearts card game reference). Another fun variant is "backseat driver". 14 participants. Each country has a "mover" and a "talker". Movers cannot communicate, only observe. Talkers cannot move.
