DaveSumm Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The Amazon listing has three methods of play: Skirmish, Dominion & World at War, which I guess are the three mentioned on that link? War of the Five Kings, Ghiscari vs Targaryen and 7 player. I've never played Risk, but as I understand it it's generally considered to be more famous than it deserves, no chance it'll be better than the aGoT board game but I'll still get it.

Arataniello Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 The original Risk was deeply flawed in that there was one area (Australia) that could only be attacked at one point - all other areas could be attacked from at least two points. The person who claimed Australia at the start of the game was almost guaranteed a win if they just kept building up their forces in Aus and became indefatigable. More recent versions of the game I think addressed this flaw. It's deeply ironic that only this morning I took my first edition Risk set off to the charity shop, and then find the above link in Twitter a couple of hours later. Guess I will be buying a new Risk game after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Released on the 5th in the U.S, but can't find it till the end of October in the UK...? That's annoying. Anyone know anywhere selling it sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
