I am completely addicted to this game. Actually, I've always been addicted to it, it used to be my favorite board game when I was a kid. Now that it's online, I just can't stop playing.
I have no idea if you have it in the US. Here's the idea: at the beginning of the game you get an objective, say, conquer all of the African continent and the Asian continent. The initial layout of the board is random, each player gets an equal (or almost equal, in some cases there are differences of one army between players) number of countries which they control (i.e. have one army piece). In each turn, you are given new armies to distribute, half the number of countries you have under your control, so if you have 10 countries, you get 5 armies to put wherever you want. When you have at least one more army than a neighbouring country, you can attack it, three armies at a time. The combat is decided on a roll of the dice, and if you manage to kill all the armies you then gain control of that country. The first person to reach his/her objective wins.
Well, that's the gist of it. There are other rules, like bonus armies if you manage to control a continent, and trading cards for armies, but, you know, if anyone's interested, just ask me and I'll explain everything (since the site's all in Portuguese).
Current game's objective is to conquer the world *g* So far, I haven't even been able to conquer Europe... But there's hope still.
