terrorists defeated the world last night

Paolo the Italian New Media Artist is playing War on Terror Board Game. He is the Evil Empire, which means you have to wear the evil balaclava and get to draw two terrorist cards. Note Hugo Chavez poster in the background. The game is a lot like Risk and takes just as long. The weird part is the cheap terrorists you can buy and place anywhere you want on the board, i.e., to harass opponents. Once they are on the board, anyone can use them for any purpose. And you can become a terrorist empire at any time and win by clearing others off their continents to get points for the continent. If you do that too early then you are stuck as a terrorist and get very little money and anyone can join your team at any time and become a terrorist. It's more fun than Risk but I think you should have to wear the balaclava (which is made for little hobbit heads) until you are done.
