Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Contrary to some other reviewers here, I consider Risk to be the ultimate strategy game. Risk is pure strategy and diplomacy, unlike some other (good) games mentioned above like Axis and Allies, which combine some strategy with operational aspects, but no real diplomacy.
Some people complain that Risk involves so many dice rolls, that luck is a major factor. I disagree, because the sheer number of rolls makes an unfair distribution highly unlikely. To take maximum advantage of the probabilities you must carefully plan your campaigns, so that you may opt for a more limited objective if your losses have been higher than expected, and conversely, can choose a more ambitious objective if your losses have been less than expected.
The true strategic nature of the game is seen in the diplomacy generally necessary for victorious play, and the timing, force disposition, and operational skill necessary to turn your diplomacy into a winning position. When it is time to strike, you must be decisive, and bring every bit of your strength to bear.
The game's best educational point is the innate comprehension it gives to players of balance of power systems, which allows a greater understanding of history, as well as current events. Another point in it's favor is the geography lesson which children will especially benefit from.
Like Chess, Risk is a simple game which allows for very complicated situations, and thus is suitable for players of almost all ages.
