11. Now it is the Allied turn. The same procedure is followed as before. The defending CAP fighter shoots at the incoming planes, and they get to fire back.

12. The Japanese CAP fighter misses, but the Allied planes shoot it down.

13. Both planes select the same carrier group to go after. The ships miss their AA fire, so the planes are free to attack.

14. Both planes score a hit on the carrier and it is sunk. Planes must now return home.

15. Planes on both sides must land on their carriers. The US plane lost its carrier, and so must ditch at sea (destroyed). Both sides may reshuffle the composition of their groups. At this point, the Japanese player decides if they wish to retreat, and they choose to continue the battle instead. The Allies, however, choose to retreat, The Allied ships return to port and the Japanese fleet continues on its original mission.

I have done one by myself…way better.

I know this is not a board game but since the camping season has finally arrived in upstate New York (Our last frost advisory was in the middle of May and most of June and July have been our spring) I don’ t foresee myself at home much on the weekends.

My wife and I like to pick up card games for camping since they are a little easier to play in the uneven surfaces camping environments provide us with.

This year we added Monopoly Deal to the team.  Here is the basic run down:

Each player gets 5 cards to hold in his or her hand.  Each turn you can play up to 3 cards.  You have a few card types, action cards, property cards and money.

Property cards are obvious they have the name of the property on them.  When an action card is played you choose the player that has to comply.  So for example I play a rent action card the other player has to pay the rent for the property I played the card for.

Each player keeps a place for playing money cards.  This is where the rent you owe comes from.  (You are not allowed to play cards from your hand unless it is your turn.)

The goal of the game is to play 3 complete sets of properties.  Since it’s just my wife and I most of the time we play 4 or 5 sets.  The game takes about 20 minutes to play.

I like this one a lot.  If you like monopoly but like the quicker pace of Uno this is a good compromise.

@Malus:

I can’t see what there is to so mad about regarding Risk…
As long as your 3 or more players it can be a real fun game to play, theres not much thinking about strategies its all luck and everyone against whoever is on the stronger side.
Don’t ever mistake Risk for being more than it is, its not strategic you don’t need to calculate much, its just Risk.
I like it…

Good point.  Risk is just a game of luck.  No strategy.  However it is still fun to play.  Call 3 or 4 friends over, order some pizza and buy some beer……and you got yourself a fun night.  :wink:
