They were played then, as the college kids had the time and the lack of distractions. In a few cases, they were played by 10-20 people blind/moderated. Some, yeah, were turkeys but they made games and also games-in-magazines which published a whole lot of stuff. Some, on the other hand, were excellent.
Remember, no pc's, no laptop's, no social media and the constant inability of (geeky) college males to score. Gotta do something other than schoolwork.
- vidanay 5y agoHad some great times in college playing Risk. We would set up three or four boards in different rooms and each player was separated and couldn't see each other. We then had "scouts" who went between rooms to provide limited reports about the other armies. There was much beer and weed involved.
