play Risk for charity?
Saw this web game on Go Cross Campus over at Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
It seems like one of those online turn-based risk-style strategy games (warfish, anyone?), except that it’s massively-multiplayer and it’s for charity (well, at least, the linked game is). The site calls itself a “team-based social game”, and there are a couple different games ongoing, but it seems that new game creation is limited to schools or other organizations, so there’s not much to do on the site unless you want to join a random game or the linked game. Turns in the game last for 24 hours, so you can pretty much log in whenever to take your turn, although it looks like there are also ‘lightning’ games on the site with 3 minute turns as well.
Anyway, the charity that wins gets 50¢ for each player on the winning team, so hurry up and join!
(Although, the prominently featured bottle of Diet Pills on the in-game map is kinda disturbing. Doesn’t anyone think of the anorexics out there?)
