What BOARD GAME(s) have you been playing?
I've actually identified something, besides MAYBE early war brush war printing, that I'm legitimately pissed with about the Collector's Edition---it doesn't give the two players enough red and blue cubes to mark all the countries you'll be controlling throughout the gam!
Where should I buy more TS blue and red color cubes? I really need more. The rest of the physical design makes good solid sense.

Contact GMT, I'm sure they will send you additional cubes.

To follow up on it, using cubes instead of flipping white/colored is a little bit more fiddly to deal with but is a vast improvement for cards that call for counting countries or battlegrounds. I found it much easy to count for something like Kitchen Debates or Summit with the cubes. But that's a personal thing. Some people are OUTRAGED at the change, but I found it a net improvement on playability with the downside of adding a bit of clutter to the board.
We also drank vodka made at home by one of our grad student's grandmother (she's eastern Ukrainian). We thought it was going to be nasty but it ended up being pretty good.

I found a shitload more in one of the old versions of Risk, before they converted to plastic.

I'd check out The Game Crafter if GMT doesn't send you extras.

We actually both ended up playing the game on the same day, but Legomancer was in his own parallel earth that didn't have eighteen players.
