Library Risk Game Set

วันศุกร์ที่ 24 เมษายน พ.ศ. 2552

For decades, Risk has been one of the best games around, and certainly in my top 3. The goal is simple: get your troops set up, go out and conquer the game board! To beat your opponent(s), you must roll dice. If your number (or numbers) is/are higher, you win. Will the dice be favorable? Or will the defender ward off your attacks, leaving your troops in the dust? Risk is certainly one of the most exciting games out there. And it's lots of fun.

The board is made up of the world (kids, don't use this as a geographical model) divided into about 42 different territories. Lines link some territories from one continent to another, or from one island to the mainland. Thus, different territories are more valuable than others.

The game-play is simple: as long as you have two or more troops stationed in a territory, you can attack a territory next to it. The more troops, the more complicated the game gets. You roll up to three die, depending on how many troops you have stationed in one area. Be careful (and lucky!), because if you lose a skirmish, one or more of your troops will die.

Strategy takes the upper hand here, but luck is very important when rolling the dice (great combination: luck and strategy). Where will you put your armies? Will you fortify numerous territories, or will you group them up in one area, hoping to exterminate your opponents' weaker territories that are surrounding you? Which territories are more valuable for your campaign? These questions are just some of the problems Risk-takers will face.

And now for the game contents. The Library Edition does justice to this classic. The board looks just as it might have when the game came out. The cards are nicely made, the pieces are nice (hey, they're only wooden blocks), and you get 6 dice, three white dice and three red dice. Beautiful edition fitted into one fairly small package. Definitely worth your money.Buy Library Risk Game Set!
