All the rules of the board game are here, including trading in Risk cards and rolling dice. Computer players have three different skill levels, easy moderate and hard of which you can change during the game. You can even change players between computer and human in the middle of the game, which can cause if mistreated a based game as cheating is possible, I would advise not to use this feature as it just plainly ruins the game,
The concept is rather simple, as it pretty much relies on dice throws. This game is fun and challenging, strategies need to be devised and implemented. I am a keen player of the original board game having spent hours with friends and families conquering the world over the years and this computer version doesn’t disappoint, it is just the same without having to fool around for hours finding piece, moving them around and leaving the board out for days till you find another day to finish off the game.
The layout of the map is very similar to the maps in the total war games especially shogun or medieval, where piece are moved from region to region and battle other troops which are in the region being invaded or defended. Along with region the map is also divided into continents and control of certain continents proved a differ amount of reinforcements depending of its size and accessibility.
Just keep in mind that you need numbers to take a region, better commit to many then too few, as the game favors the defender and a single unit can determine victory or defeat.
This is a true strategy game, very interesting, very simple and very fun. You will enjoy this game if you enjoy the total war series, axis and allies, and just any style of old war games.
