Hasbro Gaming Risk Game Board

Product Information

Originally set more or less during the Napoleonic Wars when, for the first time, the whole world was dragged into conflict, Risk is simply a game of conquest. The winning player will be in control all the world with their armies. Brushing aside any ethical qualms about colonialist military expansion, let’s look inside the box. Risk Junior: Narnia (2006) – Based on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, players can play as either the forces of Aslan or as the forces of the White Witch. Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest [1] for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into 42 territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. [2] The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game. Risk: 2210 A.D. (2001) – An award-winning [15] futuristic version, produced by Avalon Hill, another division of Hasbro. The game features moon territories, ocean territories and commander units and offers a number of official and unofficial expansions.

European editions assign each player a secret mission, and the game goes until one player There are special rules for two-player games: the territories are divided between the two players and a neutral army The rules of some editions describe a variant called Capital Risk, where each player has a capital in one of the initially occupied territories. The player to capture all capitals wins. Any armies and territories that belong to the losing nation are turned over to the victor. Capital Risk often leads to much shorter games. Other rules variants for " Risk experts" are also listed. The component quality is good. The board, cards and plastic minis are all of a solid industry standard that is acceptable for a game of this size, length and price. The board is clear to read and it is easy to determine the different zones which is something I find other Risk versions sometimes struggle to achieve. My favourite component is the miniature walkers, complete with missing limbs, that my Mother-in-Law was initially concerned were broken before realising that they had probably been bitten off previously!
