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.

6 Meaker VI's redraw of Sklar's giant risk board cut down into 48 sheets
An easily printable PDF to be printed as 48 A4 pages. They combine to produce a map roughly 6 foot by 3 foot, containing 232 countries. Meaker VI redrawn map used with permission. I advise laminating the sheets to protect them. The game works great with plastic army men spray painted six different colours. I applied stickers to their bases to represent their values. 1 for rifleman, 5 for machine gunner, 10 for bazooka.

5 Nuclear Devastation Risk
This is a simple way to play Risk with nuclear weapons! I've compiled this variant from these sources: [url=http://devastationrisk.tripod.com/our_variant.htm]"Devastation Risk"[/url] and [url=http://www.members.tripod.com/~mal1/var3.html]"Nuclear Risk"[/url]. There is no working contact link to either site that I could find, so I'm assuming they won't hate me too much for using their content. I've enjoyed it and wanted to make it available to everyone here at the Geek, too. :)

1 Risk: Added Depth
Risk with added strategic depth for use with 1993 edition rules and game board. Includes rules for resource coins, cities, capitols, fortresses, and naval fleets. Pictures of added components and descriptions of where they were obtained are included. Naval rules borrow heavily from Risk Edition Napoleon, but are not identical.

0 Risk Cards Storage Box
Bit map image of a template to make a storage box for your Risk Cards. Scale in MS Word or any photo editor program and print on heavy card stock. Cut out, gently fold sides to form rough box shape, glue along the seam (area marked "glue") and press together. Allow glue to dry, place cards inside, and fold openings on both ends closed. Press along outside edges of the box to improve and sharpen the crease.
