board games

I never played any previous Risk PC Version, so this was my first... this game runs on XP...Gamesplay is good, due to the several modes which can be accessed...the classic game is there of course, but there are other modes of play...the same time mode is especially appealing because the player is able to attack from more than one territory at once and then can surge to another territory...I really enjoyed the board game, but there are so many different ways to configure play, I put away my box and play on pc exclusively...you are able to play PC or others on LAN/Network (my real disapppointment is that there is not online Play)...graphics and sound are average at best...but overall, if you want to play Risk (Strategy game) which doesn't take forever, not difficult to learn, but challenging, I can heartily recommend....for the bucks, nice game...would work especially well if traveling about with laptop (killing time in airports)...think of it as a variation of chess game, but more appealing to senses...

Risk I for PC was an awesome game, because it includes the Ultimate Risk. This is where winning the battle is by using different stredegy cards. This version of the Risk is the best. But Risk 2 doesn't have this feature. I highly recommond to try Risk I's ultimate game, it is so much FUN!!
