Toys and Games Reviews of Risk
Customer Review: Wonderful game!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've just started playing Risk again after not playing for a couple of years. I'm so stoked to be back in the flow- this is a great game and a real brain-stretcher with level after level of strategy.
You can really learn a lot about your friends or family when you take them on to achieve dominion over the world.
Another thing I like about Risk is it's readily amenable to making your own variations- we like to discount all ties (instead of rewarding them as an army knocked off by the defender). That alone would make defending virtually impossible, so we also let the defender roll 3 white dice if he has 3 armies in the country being attacked. We've named it "Steroid Risk" because it feels more muscular and aggressive. The attacker is able to wreak massive slaughter- but he must watch overextending perhaps even more than under the traditional rules.
Rewarding agressive play also shortens the game somewhat- we can generally conclude a game in 4 or 5 hours (even with three grizzled Risk addicts), while the game used to take 8 to ten hours under the old rules.
I don't like any version but the 80's version with the plastic singles, 3's, 5's and 10's- none of this mission crap (Ewww- that's so Eurotrash)..
I could go into the depths my strategy has evolved into, but that would be telling!
I hope Risk is undergoing as renaissance in popularity- I can't think of a better game for an all-nighter. Break out the cigars, beverages and get down to it.
Risk is one of the all-time classics.
Description of Risk
In this classic game of military strategy, you will lead your armies as they sweep across vast continents to launch daring attacks against your enemies. But keep an eye on your flanks: your opponents are fighting to capture your troops and claim your territories. Reinforce your armies with additional infantry, cavalry and artillery, then attack with a throw of the dice. Now fortify your positions and prepare to defend your borders from rivals' attacks. Capture all 42 territories - and you conquer the world! Are you up to the challenge' Then embark on the classic Risk game of World Domination. For more challenge, use the rules variations for experts. And for a shorter variation, try the Capital Risk game. For the first time, Risk includes the European game variation called Secret Mission Risk, whose special cards give each player a specific "mission" to complete to win the game.
