STRATEGO

kyle41 · Posted: Sep 08, 2008 10:42 pm Post subject: STRATEGO

The ultimate game of strategy. I picked up a complete set of this board game at the thrift store for $1.60. This board game has become a knox family staple and I was lucky enough to find it at this steal of a deal. For those of you that have never heard of stratego, it is the game of all games and I highly reccomend you go grab one yourself. Its a wonderful game of deception, strategizing and for me personally its all about the look of devistation on your younger cousins faces as you defeat them.

Marcus, Michael, Jeffy, Thomas, Charlie and Kevin... bring it on!!!!

Dream on Jeffy, this is destiny. Parker Brothers placed that gem of a board game in that thrift store for I am destined to be the stratego king.

Even before I was a Knox, I was well versed in the ways of Stratego... first a freediving event and now this? What's next, Super Smash Brothers and then trampskating? Laughing

nick knox.... you also better come to the land of the west to our knox reunion / snow board event and i will school you in all the family traditions... including smash bros, mario kart, stratego, shuffle board, and free diving...

excluding trampskating of course lol

nick, theres been rumors of you not being a full blooded knox. Just the other day Jeffy looked up at me with moistened eyes and said "Uncle kyle why is my skin so much fairer then cousin nicholaus" family members are starting to speculate and if your going to claim this bloodline I say you join us in the first ever knoxlympics. A culmination of meaningless yet satisfying goodhearted family games.

It's true. The majority of my blood is Cherokee Diplomat while the Knox bloodline is primarily (insert heritage here). But that matters not. I was voted in by a 2/3 majority AND I was at Marcus' big 16 shredsesh at OWC.

Where is this land of the west? Anything I can do to secure my place in the Knox family goes to the top of the priority list.

nick, you could have had my vote too but then that whole thing about being a registered independent in florida.

If I'm really invited, I am so there.

kyle41, Yea, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be talking to you because of that Smash

I might have to take my truck to Tyrone Square Mazda to get my truck fixed sometime this month, if it's gonna take a while would you wanna go shred or maybe play N64 to get ready to take down Jeff? Twisted Evil

I've slept in some horrible places. I'd be happy to chip in on the condo for a spot on the floor. I wouldn't need a blanket or pillow either, snowboard jackets FTW

JeffKnox · Posted: Sep 09, 2008 1:45 pm Post subject:

kyle41, The Schwaller family plays Risk (i.e. most epic board game of all time), but we would challenge the Knox family in a little game of Stratego.

JeffKnox, I've got all my own snowboard stuff and air travel is my specialty Cool

kyle41, Epic. I'll let you know when I know when I'm going to take it in. There's nothing really wrong with it except the A/C is broken, but since I have a warranty on the truck there I'm gonna make them check everything.

I did some recon a few weeks ago outside of the Schwaller compound (seriously) and they have a serious board game collection and a self-concealing flatbar Laughing

jordan i love risk .... its so on... im pretty sure we have never actually finished a game though.... risk always starts out being super pumped then ends in frustration on the amount of time its taking... lol
