My boys and I like to play the games Catan and Risk.
Now that they’re adults and we’re together less frequently, the game becomes central when we do get together. Epic battles that frequently cross calendar boundaries.
Both games require strategy. What’s your plan? What are you trying to do? Where are you trying to go?
Both games require tactics. How will you allocate the resources you just received? Who will you attack? What will you defend?
Both games include the luck of the dice.
Sometimes, you’ve made all the right strategic and tactical decisions, but luck thwarts your plan. How will you adjust?
Sometimes, you’ve made strategic and tactical mistakes, yet luck shines on you. How will you adjust?
Life. How will you adjust?
