I seriously need friends that enjoy board games. Recently found out a newly-made attorney friend is into it and wants to learn "deeper" games, like Risk. I lol'd.

When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!
Risk is probably a good place to get them started. First show them normal risk, then show them Star Wars Risk, then show them Settlers of Catan, then show them Game of Thrones
I would say, if you're trying to show off NEW board games (which are better), then don't try Risk. It's too long, and not as fun as what's available. Even Catan - to veteran board gaming enthusiasts - is a bit stale.
A great replacement for Risk is SmallWorld!
I saw Game of Thrones at AWX this afternoon. Too bad about the price tag - R850! I wanna try organise a nice, nerdy evening with beer, pizza and GoT at the office.
And metal. Lots and lots of metal. Epic, loud, metal.

I was trying to show a progression from "mainstream" board games to the the newer, more enjoyable board games. The idea isn't to get a veteran enthusiast interested in board-gaming. Showing an initial interest in Risk indicates that the person might be willing to play drawn out games like Game of Thrones, Arkham Horror or maybe even Catan. Risk was merely meant to be an example of an entry point to newer games from traditional board games.
