What I like most about the game is the gameboard. The actual game did not fit my taste, the underworld and the threat of Atlantis sinking at any turn.
We had two players consumed with the thought of Atlantis sinking. That was the game to them. It was funny with it happened, a player had put all his forces on the island.
Played it once, 2 vs. 2. I was on the Republic side and saw that we basically needed to rush to do damage and hopefully minimize Palpatine’s revolution. We had some terrible rolls whereas the other team had great ones. It was basically a few turns of us not making any progress, then Order 66 was called and it was essentially over. There are some specific rules for the game and it’s different than regular Risk, so I think it’s neat, just need to play it a few more times.
I can’t see what there is to so mad about regarding Risk…
As long as your 3 or more players it can be a real fun game to play, theres not much thinking about strategies its all luck and everyone against whoever is on the stronger side.
Don’t ever mistake Risk for being more than it is, its not strategic you don’t need to calculate much, its just Risk.
I like it…

Good point. Risk is just a game of luck. No strategy. However it is still fun to play. Call 3 or 4 friends over, order some pizza and buy some beer……and you got yourself a fun night. :wink:
