The 1-Upper: Conquiztador

Looking for El Dorado
Finally! After years of hoping and waiting, someone finally went ahead and combined my love of two of the best games ever: Risk and Trivial Pursuit. It’s about time.
Conquiztador is a fun little multiplayer game that puts three players on a map of the US, each answering trivia questions to gain more territory, attack the opponents, and defend their own turf. The questions range from multiple choice to very short answer (just a hint: none of the “none of these are correct” answers is ever correct), but for some reason they seem to lean heavily towards sports, and I apparently know more about pitchers hitting home runs than I thought.
The game needs some tweaks and a little more exposure – for instance, you’ll run through the day’s questions pretty quickly and there aren’t a lot of people playing so you wind up playing the robots often – but it’s great fun when you attack a home base and knock a player off the map.
Play Conquiztador here. And if you seem username billypilgrim, let’s play a round.
The game is ok but the scoring system stinks.It’s the only game in the world where you can win a but lose points.There are never more than 10 or 15 people playing,it’s not a popular game but it could be if they just rewarded you for winning.
