At least it wasn't Risk, or Stratego!

I agree Risk wouldn't have been a great choice...
- however back in college I used to love playing that game in the dorm!

And I like Stratego a lot too!
- I like the hidden part of the game, trying to figure out the values.
I found a place to play a Stratego-like game on the 'net and played two games... but I guess I only have time for one game right now (& I wish I had more time for it) and that game is Wei-Chi (aka Go, Baduk, Weiqi, Igo, and Paduk).

The Obama administration hasn't been perfect. However, they have impressed me with their social graces and diplomacy. It's obvious they are putting a great deal of thought into the symbolism of their choices.
