I mentioned before that it reminds me of many, many hours with my dad and brother. My sons and I have played it a couple times and with their game we have real looking pieces instead of the blocks that I remember growing up.
I have never played online before so this will be a new experience for me! But I do like the fun of getting together and playing games.
We used to play Risk a number of times but after awhile it became monotonous and switched to something else. I didn't know there was an online version.
RISK is pretty cool but since RISK there have many variants and I tend to like the variants more like Axis & Allies.
I absolutely LOVE Risk. This game and Monopoly, my absolute favorites. We would always try and complicate the games with treaties, alliances, and things like that. Anything to add some extra features to the game. If my men were pushing into the Western United States, there was a reason, (laugh). I almost always won, but we'd play for several hours.
Yes when the dice are not working well for you it can hurt plenty fast. We also tended to use the rule of a set of soldier sis x meant and 3 cannons a different amount to help off set large on onslaughts later on.
