My buddy got AAR for Christmas '08 (he is 50 this year). We played it and I was instantly hooked. I bought it too (I am almost 40). My buddy at work now plays too with the two of us (we were all poker buddies), he just turned 30. Not that ages matter but I wanted to point out that people of all ages love this game. It just seems once you sit and play you are hooked. Not too difficult but just enough strat and thinking required it is worth sitting and playing for a few hours, or days like some games take. We can get together often to play, which we do. We also have another 2-3 buddies that like to sit and play when they get the chance, which unfortunatley, is not as often. We both also have AA50 now and my work buddy has AAE. Since last Christmas we have played a version of these game at least once a week, sometimes more. I may have a game on the go at my place with one buddy and a game on the go with my other buddy at his place. Sometimes I get so confused which game I am playing I accuse one of cheating, LOL!! Hey, you didn’t have that the last time……oh wait, that is the other game, LOL. Can’t wait til the new AAE1940 and AAP1940 come out.
Oh, and on another note, I cannot for the life of me get my wife to sit and play. She is such an analytical person that I think she would love it, but she disagrees :roll:

<sigh>Wives - so tempting because they’re always there and you know their schedule. So close but so far away.</sigh>
I have tried to get my wife interested, but no way. It is strange because she actually enjoys Risk and she even plays Ultimatum (for those who know which game that is) which has boats, men, cards, and laser space stations. She always makes Ultimatum a real tough game as she knows all my tricks and strategies and likes to stop me from winning, as I win the most. :lol:
She would be a good Axis and Allies player if she would only try it. Same goes for my buddies wife, he and I love AA and the wifes sit there and watch for a bit but never want to play. His wife loves board games, she is fanatic, especially Settlers of Catan, but AA scares her, just like my wife, they think it is to complex, when really it isn’t.
AA is the coolest game ever made. 8-)
I thought of attempting to train a Chimp to play A&A but after watching Monster Quest, forget that!!!

I hear kids work pretty well, although it may be a long term investment.
I’ve already got mine saying “Let’s play the tank game!!!” So we open the box, unfold the map, and take turns “blowing up” each other’s pieces. :-D
I would love to see a video of a chimps playing AA…each wearing the various helmets or caps of each nation in full regalia.
Imagine a chimp japanese admiral or Tojo looking fellow?
I wish somebody here had access to chimps ( other than WOTC).
oh well…

I can imagine the chimps playing already, and when they get into an argument about the game, I can hear them howling, screeching and throwing poo at each other!
As for the video, you would need make up artists from the Planet of the Apes (remake)!

I think you are on to something. :-D
Remember those Gremlin movies? I could just imagine chimps acting like that getting out of control and turning the game into a live action version where they start blowing each other up. :evil:
You should write and direct it and then get the staff from WOTC to star in it. :lol: :lol:
