Risk!

[Altec]

Have you ever played this board game? It's like Monopoly, but 5x more fun! I played it for like 6 hours with 3 other friends today, we got kicked out of the house because we stayed too late! Very fun though, I had to play it online when I got home!

You can play it online here...

If enough EdgeGamer's enjoy Risk, I would be happy to play a real-time online game with you at the Strategy Game Network I linked above or the Land Grab website. What do you think?

I love that game! I taught myself to play it when I was around 12, but sadly I could never play a full game with anyone. (They would always quit as I started to win) Then I found www.conquerclub.com (I haven't tried the sites you listed, but I'm sure it's like them), and I started playing full games!!

*Edit* You may want to look into Conquer Club. I was looking at the sites you posted and noticed something. They seem to only have the one board from what I saw. One thing great about CC is that you have 100+ boards to choose from, not to mention numerous game types to choose from.

Strategy Games Network doesn't have any other maps, but Land Grab has a ton of other maps! Land Grab is definitely the site I am most satisfied with.

i have an original risk board game, its actually 15+ years old...nearly mint condition except a little colour fading on the box (still have the white plastic protector thing you put over the board before you close the lid)
tho i prefer 1v1 play...don't like playing with large groups

I like it, but I have one friend who wins every board game we play and it actually gets boring. XD

I stopped playing with my friends because I always won. But it was because I used a very strategic starting plan and took out 2 other players within the first 5 turns. I always use the idea of taking out the weak because I would take there cards and trade in for more armies.
