You need either three cards of the same type (cavalry, artillery or infantry) or one of each category (you can also have a joker card). Those who are familiar with the game already know that you have the RISK cards which you can trade for more units. The difference between US and UK version of the game is of a different nature. The short game on the other hand gives you a mission (like conquer some continents, capture 24 territories,…) and you win after you complete the mission. If you chose a full game you need to conquer the whole world and destroy all opponents. You have the FULL game or SHORT game option (both US or UK). So what do you have to do? Well it depends on what type of game you chose. Unfortunately you can't play the game via the modem, so you'll have to prepare some snacks if you plan to host this game. The best thing about this game is, that you can invite up to five friends to play with you, or you can play against the computer (it has three difficulty levels). The game also features some weird beeps which should be the sound, but I suggest you turn those off and play some pompous music in the back (I played Carl Orff's Carmina Burana). You control everything with a mouse, so the controls are really simple enough (only thing you can't click is the number of units – if you want to change it, you need to type it yourself). The graphics are standard EGA (nothing breathtaking, but still quite nice). Yes, it was originally a board game and this computer version is a faithful adaptation of the board game and a classic turn base strategy game that is definitely worth having. ![]() Risk – a classic game of world domination (at least I believe that's what they said in the TV commercial for the original board game). |
