The game is very easy to set up but tricky to play. ...  Read the complete review

12 Armies against Kamchatka! Watch my glorious Green troops sweep across Asia, knocking aside the feeble Pink and Blue forces of my opponents!! *insert Imperialist cackle*.

I have always harboured latent desires to conquer the world and the only thing stopping me was the fact that my patent for a super laser and mind control ray was never taken seriously by the useless bank clerk who would not authorise my home improvement loan to fund the building of a prototype.

The Game of Risk, the World Conquest Game, has been around for years, generations probably.

The game is made by Parkers, and available in all major toyshops, for ...  Read the complete review

I will try to talk more about what makes this game so special, what makes it different from all other games. The beginning of ...  Read the complete review
