Growing up, I loved playing Risk and Stratego–especially Stratego. I can’t wait for my own kids to reach the age when they can play (we’re currently hitting the checkers phase). As an adult, I’ve played a fair amount of Diplomacy. Until about a year or two ago, I had a little group of right-wingers meet at my house every couple of months for a game. Oddly, the player who had France seemed to win a lot of games. The board game that has most fascinated me since high school, though, is Axis & Allies. Best way to describe it: A more complicated version of Risk, based on the Second World War.
