What Happens When 4 Grandmasters Play Classic Risk?

I play a lot Lux Deluxe on Steam. This game looks interesting too. Where can I join?

You all play like amatures.

Presuming everyone plays optimally, someone will get a small advantage by chance and develop it into a win over a long time..
This is because the other players will be as difficult as possible to overcome.

Ok, so I have a question. My friends and I have been playing since HS (and we are in our 40s), we always play the strategy "never let anyone else get a continent bonus" and do everything we can to prevent them. Temporary alliances are formed and then broken just to end bonuses. For the first 10 or so turns of the game, there is rarely a bonus aside from maybe Australia, but the other three players will literally take turns ganging up on whoever has Australia to end their bonus, with the first person weakening them a bit, the second more, and then the third ending it. This usually means the player thats the most aggressive is the first out. Is that not the normal strategy? I see you are just letting eachother have bonuses, which is so foreign a concept to me...but then again, our games can go 2+ hours because so little headway is often made with no bonuses and cards not helping a ton until quite a few rounds...

The same thing that happens when four idiots play: luckiest guy wins. It's cute that you think this is a strategy game at anything beyond the most basic level.

Stop vocal fry idiot

Idk why u just gave up africa like that

كس امك خليتنا نحضر جيم و خسرتو بالآخر يا عرة العرر

You got some bad rolls, but you made a major mistake by leaving open Africa mid game. You over extended yourself in Europe while leaving Africa open for a large stack in South America. He was very clearly going to wreck you there. I was scratching your head for why you left your flank open like that.

Haven't played the board game in years. But Europe is very hard to hold. The GM who ended up there was pretty much screwed. I played South America as it had two choke points and two easily expandable continents. You could hold both by stacking all your troops in Mexico and North Africa. Which denies those to other players. If Europe looks like it's going one way you move up and just take a territory then return. Australia is never as good of an option as you have a single choke point, but you're only option is Asia.

So allowing South America to go to red was your first mistake. It's much more valuable than Africa due to ease of holding.

What happens when 4 grandmasters play a game ten year olds solved in 1970?

Im not a grand master but im a little surprised you didnt clear champ out of asia and held australia again at 23:35. He mighta been reluctant to hit back and surrender SA to cowboy
