The Game Of Risk

Risk is a game of world domination, where the object is to conquer the world. To win, you must attack and defend – attacking to acquire territory, and defending to keep it from your opponents.

The game board features a map of six continents divided into 42 territories. It's a game of strategy as you battle to win by launching daring attacks, defending your territory, and moving across continents with your cunning plan!
Play three variations: World Domination, Capital Risk, and Secret Mission Risk. This game will engage and challenge any player to join the ranks of world leaders!

The standard Risk board game includes dice, Risk cards, and six sets of miniature armies. The newer editions include new scenarios and objectives, and are stand-alone games (not expansions).

The software version features cutting-edge artificial intelligence and stunning 3-D graphics, as well as excellent multiplayer options.
