Product Information

Games of Risk can take a long time. A lo-o-ong time. Some players report eight-hour epics as fortunes wax and wane. The final few hours can have that Monopolyfeeling of slowly watching one player dominate and then gradually win as your own supplies slowly drain away in the face of their supremacy. Recent versions have included Mission cards. Playing the Mission cards version can really help to overcome this.

These territories can span a group of smaller countries (Egypt seems to extend all the way to Libya) or subdivide larger nations like USA. There are literally armies of plastic soldiers coloured to identify which player they will belong to. The soldiers come in three versions: infantry representing a force of one; cavalry represent a force of five units; and artillery which represents 10. We rolled our first dice in June 2015 and the final unit died in April 2016. This was the first Legacy game any of us had played. I have no idea how I would feel about this game were I coming to it after playing Pandemic Legacy, or Charterstone.
