Oooops, by adding Doomtown that makes twenty-one. One of the games has to go. We're thinking of dumping Risk. What do you think? Post a message on the Trading Card Forum.

Pro -- Argument for adding Doomtown and dumping Risk
Con -- Argument for keeping Risk
The Games Hall of Fame has become too mature for Risk. It would be too much of an insult for Chess, Go, Mancala etc., to have to share the spotlight for such an infantile game such as Risk. Finally, History of the World is simply a better and far more advanced form of playing Risk. Bob Krept Doomtown is a fad. It will be over by the end of the year. In 1977 we ditched high school to play Risk. It is a classic. Bells and whistles and complications to the basic strategy of competing to conquer the world dampen rather heighten the joy of playing.
