I finally like Risk

One of the cool things about my new iTouch, is the game apps that are available. Many are free, and a lot of the pay-for games have a free component to try before you buy. Since the BFF has had his iTouch for a few months, he had already downloaded several games and lots of other apps that all put themselves on my Touch when I first plugged it in, and now I'm sorting out which ones I will actually use.
One app I found on my Touch was Lux Touch, and the first time I opened it, I could't figure out what it was. I'm glad I gave it another chance before deleting it, as I discovered it is a solo Risk-type game.
Ask anyone who's ever played Risk what is the worst part about the game, and I'll bet they say the length!! It can take forever for it to get back to your turn, not to mention how long it takes to do all the die rolls!
Now imagine there are a mere seconds between your turns, even with four other players. The computer invisibly rolls all the dice, and destroyed armies just magically disappear.
I've only beat the computer once, but isn't that the case with solitaire? I have to say, when I'm just wanting a quick time-killer, I often click on this one. The whole game of Risk in just a few minutes, and no worry of someone tipping over the board in frustration.
