RISK: Classic Games for a new Generation
Do you remember the classic board game Risk where you try to conquer the world? You are given a set of cards that show you which territories you control. Then each turn you have the opportunity to add more armies and battle your opponents. My kids have never had the chance to play this classic game, but recently Winning Moves sent us the classic reproduction board game of Risk.
RISK: Classic Games for a new Generation
My kids are like many of yours and love playing video games. So when I can find a classic board game that captures their attention, I am completely on board. This classic game of Risk gives each player the chance to use their own strategy to try to attack other armies with a roll of the dice and work to capture the continents – one army at a time.
Oversized bi-fold game board with original style art, 6 sets of beautiful wooden “army” pieces conveniently stored in clear plastic boxes with lids, deck of area cards with original style art, high quality dice, and a rules book featuring a History of Risk.
Tip for Long Term Play
Risk is one of those games that can last longer than a bag of chips or M&M’s. So set up a card table in the basement or family room and let the game stay in play. This will give each player the chance to play for more than one day without leaving the kitchen table occupied.
Do you remember playing Risk back when you were growing up? Got any great memories of this classic board game? I’d love to hear!

I received this game for the purpose of this review. No monetary compensation was received. All opinions are my own.
I love Risk, I have an original version AND the Lord of the Rings version! I used to bring it in to work to play with friends on our hour lunch break and we would have to take pictures of the board every day so that we knew where to pick up the next day. It took us almost a week to finish each game, but it was so much fun.
My husband and sons play this a lot. I don’t think it ever gets old.
We grew up playing Risk way back in the stoneage, it was a fun rainy afternoon game and we loved it to pieces. Matter of fact I have the game we played on tatterrd and torn after Mom gave it to me. Its a great game although my brother always won!
I used to play Risk with my grandma years ago — this was one of her favorite games.
This looks like something the kiddos would love! Good thing the holidays are around the corner! 😉
I remember playing this when I was young. My two youngest love playing board games.
Good idea to set up the game board somewhere you can leave it set up so play can continue until there is a winner. I have never played risk but it looks like fun. Thanks for the review.
Looks like a fun game that our family would enjoy
I remember many long rainy summer days spent engaged in epic battles with my brother
It’s so funny that you wrote this post. My family was just saying the wanted to play Risk. We have friends that play it often and they just love it. Sounds like it is a lot of fun. I am not sure I am smart enough for it, but sure want to try.
I have never played Risk before but my husband loves it.
Wow this looks like so much fun! I haven’t played before, but am definitely interested in checking this out!
LOVE this game
Never played before, but sound like fun!
I think I vaguely remember playing as a kid, but haven’t in years… would love to try it again!
I never got how to play this game when I was a kid.
This is the one game I could always beat my older brother at 🙂
I have never played Risk before but it looks like an awesome game!
Risk is a great game, though I was always more of a Stratego fan myself. 😀
Had quite a few epically long Risk games–always a good time tho.
