365 Days of Python: Day #25 — Shrewd Strategies

Playing board games is one of my favorite things to do, especially those that require in-depth strategic thinking.

Some board games, though, leave their outcomes up to chance (i.e., rolling a dice).

If I had to choose, I would say that my all-time favorite board game is Risk, which incorporates both strategy and chance into a race for global domination.

Whether it be a rainy afternoon or a weekend night, I am always willing to play (and hopefully win) a board game.

Closing Thoughts

Strategy is something that penetrates all aspects of life.

Cooking a meal? You have to develop a “plan of attack” for preparing, cooking, and plating your food. If you do not believe me, go and watch an episode of Hell’s Kitchen.

Going on a vacation? You have to figure out how you are getting there (car, bus, plane, etc.). Furthermore, you have to decide how to fit all of your clothes in a suitcase that is far too small.

Regardless of what you are doing, a strategy can always be implemented.
