Risk! The World Conquest Game. The Greatest Board Game of all Time ... probably.

This page links to a number of other Risk pages and references and adds a few of its own. I will refrain from adding tables of time spent playing Risk as I know that if I added it all up it would come to a sadly big number. There have been too many all night risk sessions .... a few of us still twitch at the immortal words, 'Central America to Venezula, right ya bastard'

Risk FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) also includes details of how to get a networkable Risk game for Unix/Linux boxes.

Click here for my thoughts on a number of strategies. This may seem pompous but I am safe in the knowledge that I must be good if I'm always the one they try and kill first.

Click here for a global collection of famous risk moves and strategies (lots of Spanish Riskers - translations anyone?)

House Arguments? A complete on-line rule book is available for when you can't remember where you last left it. I take no credit for this.


Roberto Convenevole has written an informative tome on the history and development of Risk!. The book includes a history of the game and its development, comparisons of versions, probabilities, rules for 'Blind Risk' an advanced mission risk style of game with objectives and a limited set of forces, and a pull out showing the board development over the years.

And to make it all the more interesting, its in Italian.

For links to purchase the book click here IMHO well worth the modest 15 euros.


I am often being asked whether there is a internet/network version of risk available for the PC.

  There is/was a a network/internet playable version of Risk for the PC. It used to be available from the Hasbro website but now this link is no more :(

Click here for a Games Domain review of the game. I'm sure its still available on a budget label as it was a neat game.

There have also a number of Risk developments on the WWW that I have come to my attention. Click here to find out more.

I dedicate this page to my wife, who has suffered enough.
