    5.0 out of 5 stars World Domination Can Be Yours, 7 April 2005
    By deadteddy (Bridgend) - See all my reviews
    (VINE VOICE)   
    Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    To me this is the ultimate board game, it's so much better than the rest because it is not just simply relying on the throw of a dice. This game balances luck and skill perfectly, allowing talent to shine through even in the face of the most appalling dice throws in the world.

    To give you a quick idea of the game, you and a friend (up to six of you can play) take control of one of six coloured armies. Choose a game style to play, of which there are three and depending on what you're playing you will either be trying to conquer the world or accomplish a secret mission. Do not be fooled into thinking that luck will get you through though because a good player will still beat you even if you are lucky, through tactics you will be out flanked and out fought very quickly.

    This is truly one of the best games there is to play and with a full complement of friends it's a very social game as well. Be warned though that the games can take a very long time to play but are never the less very satisfying and a lot more rewarding than the usual going round a board and collecting cash. If you've ever fancied being a General but aren't keen on having your pipe shot out of your mouth or getting your slippers dirty you can do a lot worse than destroy your best friends army.

    This game is best played with a few nibbles, some drinks, a load of good friends and a whole night set aside to play it. Enjoy!

    NB. I would recommend that you do take care of this game though as pieces do tend to go missing very quickly due to their size, just a hint.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The secret king of boardgames, 19 Jan 2007
    By Petrolhead (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
    This is the best boardgame I know, for the simple reason that there is plenty of skill involved, but the deal of the cards and the roll of the dice still make it fiendishly unpredictable. Add to that the cajoling, arm-twisting diplomacy ("you'd be CRAZY to attack me -- what about Lucy? She's about to get the whole of Europe!!!..."), and you begin to understand what it feels like to be a real tyrant.
    Risk isn't a one-tactic game like monopoly (buy every property you can) nor does it drag like Trivial Pursuit. We played it twice over Christmas and the five generals involved only got more passionate, excited and devious as the game went on.
    One word of caution for parents with sensitive kids: the balance of power moves suddenly in Risk, which can be as crushing as it is exhilarating, and games have been known to end in tears...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning game for strategists, 26 Aug 2004
    By A Customer
    Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    Forget anyone that sells you a video game and says it's strategic - quite simply, they aren't. If you want to learn about economics, game theory and human behaviour, then this is a must. It's a VERY sophisticated game for developing strategy and anyone who thinks it's simply about rolling dice is missing the point and will get spanked by a good player. It's like saying poker is just about betting on cards.

    It takes a long time to play, longer than Monopoly (which is really about rolling dice more than anything), although there are speedier versions. That's not a problem with a lot of wine, some nibbles and some good friends (although they'll hate you at the end of the evening if you trounce them due to unspoken alliances - my enemy's enemy is my friend!)
