Too late for Christmas--I guess I'll have to ask for it for my birthday. Posted by: Fraud Guy at December 26, 2006 9:00 AM Reminds me of this classic: http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/nucwar.htm Posted by: jon at December 26, 2006 9:08 AM To quote a former Pope, "peace is development". Within the mindset of the sick b* who created that "game", there is no room for development, or for "oodwill to man". Thus there can only be war and terror and who wants to "win" at that? Posted by: SoSad at December 26, 2006 9:40 AM It's had pretty good reviews: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/24396 Posted by: Simon Willison at December 26, 2006 10:04 AM I own it, and I think it's great. I enjoy the theme, but there's a real game in here too. See my review of the game here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/136800 --Steve Posted by: Stephen Waits at December 26, 2006 10:11 AM Cool--it comes with an "evil" balaclava, something I've always wanted. The balaclava I have is made out of spandex, and therefore only slightly malevolent. Posted by: antibozo at December 26, 2006 12:03 PM Just ordered it. It looks great, I hope it's fun, too. Posted by: jkohen at December 26, 2006 1:20 PM A good game. I've played it several times. Haven't won yet, but other people have. Posted by: wkwillis at December 26, 2006 10:47 PM I like the random 'secret' messages. Nice touch: http://www.waronterrortheboardgame.com/secret_messages/? Someone should hold a tournament at RSA, unless Illuminati has come back into vogue... Posted by: Davi Ottenheimer at December 27, 2006 12:14 AM Post a comment
