Toys and Games Reviews of Risk
Customer Review: Risk Ruined My Thanksgiving
Summary: 1 Stars
The store was closing in 5 minutes and among my other last minute Thanksgiving items I grabbed the game "Risk". Nothing on the box said "New Risk", "Fake Risk" or "This-game-is-no-longer Risk". Granted if I had more time I probably could have figured it out by the illustrations on the back. None the less; this game is not Risk. I would compare it more to a poor man's Axis and Allies.
Instead of enjoying a nice game of Risk with my family on Thanksgiving I had to do without. Sure, we got some Trivial Pursuit and Boggle in but the holiday was left lacking. They made a new game then slapped an old and trusted name on it. I'm severely disappointed by this.
Customer Review: Not The Original Risk Game
Summary: 1 Stars
If you buy this game thinking it is like the Risk game you used to play years ago, you will be very disappointed. For example, you used to be able to turn in sets of country cards based upon the infantry, cavalry and cannon symbols on the cards and the additional two cards with all three symbols on them. But not in this version. And whoever created the army pieces never played the original Risk with the wooden pieces or the version with the plastic soldiers, cavalry and cannons. The game pieces in this set are tiny and guaranteed to be lost quickly. Its horrible. They could have made it compatible easily, but chose not to.Customer Review: Disappointing Changes
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this game for my 10 year old son for Christmas. He had played Risk at a friend's house and loved it. I remembered loving it too. When we sat down to play, the game was completely different. The rules had changed, the pieces had changed, even the objective had changed. It was disappointing to have to learn a new game when we anticipated playing an old favorite. The box did not make clear that it was not the original version. Had I known, I wouldn't have bought it. I would have looked for an original.
We may enjoy this game once we learn it, but for now, it's just a new game we haven't ever played.
Customer Review: pros and cons of risk
Summary: 4 Stars
overall it was pretty good i liked the new arrowhead pieces and the red ocean makes it look more exiting. the instructions didn't help much at all. if your a beginer i would not recomend this. however if youve played the classic version than isrongly encourage you to buy this version. its realy fun, ive stayed up till 2:00 am playing this and never getting bored. te games durable though there arnt enough pieces in each set ive had to use other colors while playing too.
the gameplays faster and way more fun than the origanal. so pretty much experienced people buy inexpeirianced dont buy it unless up for a challenge
Customer Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars
This version of Risk is not good or fun or anything a good game should be.
The game instructions are very minimal and leave a lot of unanswered questions. There are three example setups that you can use (one for 3 players, one for 4 players, and one for five players)... but there are no general instructions for setting up the game after you get past the beginner phase. There are no instructions for a two player version of the game at all.
The packaging is very poor. Shake the box up (after everything is put away) and all the pieces get mixed up.
