Description Edit | History

Widely accepted as the first mainstream wargame. Players are given tons of little army units to place onto the map of the world. When it's your turn, you use your units to attack other players' positions, hopefully with superior numbers. Combat is a simple dice rolling affair that stresses attrition, and reinforcements are given to players who collect sets of cards.

0 RISK: Damn Aliens
The aliens are coming. Check out version 1 of my pop-culture version of Martian RISK. Abductions, mother ships, and final invasions. Feedback and comments are welcomed. Enjoy!

1 RISK: Modern Combat
My version of expanding RISK for modern combat. Funding guerillas, terrorism, coalitions, different military branches, the works. My goal was to be abstract and flexible. Please leave any comments. ENJOY!

1 The Missions of "Risk II"
This is all the mission that I have identified. Some missions was a bit "alterated" in order to work as a board game, for example changing the name of a particular Player (or General), for the color of the respective army. But, beside that, all the missions all original shown by the computer on the PC game of Risk II. I hope you like it... see yaaa

9 Zombie RISK Rules
This is an improved Random Territory Selection Chart for RISK variants. The chart is based on a territory's number of defensible borders (the number of territories opponents can attack from) and dice probabilities. The higher the number of defensible borders the greater the chance of being selected. Enjoy!

3 Risk cards for the Giant World Map of risk w/232 countries
All the cards that will be needed for use with the Giant World map of Risk that was originally created by Sklar. I have put together the PPT file for all the country cards that will be needed for playing this map. The last slide is for the backs of the cards.

2 The rest of RISK II
This includes a printable chart of the RISK II dice thresholds (i.e., white die when 1-5 armies, yellow when 6-10, etc.), instructions on how to create RISK II dice (they are not numbered simply from 1-12, but instead have 1-6 in different quantities), and a list of everything needed to play a game of RISK II.

3 RISK II maps
The large map is approximately 20x16 and is for playing. It is not terribly attractive, but it's functional and is the best I could do. The smaller map is to be printed on 8.5x11 paper for diplomatic conferences away from the board, if players choose to play that way. I would be happy if someone designed a better map.

4 RISK II cards - front and back
Print the fronts on cardstock, then flip your pages over and print the backs. Piece of cake and makes nice and simple cards.
