Rules Review "Risk"

Risk is one of the ultimate classic war Boardgames by Hasbro games.  Many nights there are arguments and fisticuffs because so much is at RISK!  The World.

My Reviews are going to be graded like classes in College; A,B,C,D,E.  At the end we will get a GPA which will determine if this game makes distinguished honor roll, honor roll, passes or fails.  A good game should at least pass with a C average. 

The categories I will be grading are 1) Presentation/Product/Package, 2) Game Rules/Mechanics, 3) Historical/fantasy Cannon Accuracy, 4) Cost/time, 5) Good Time and Memories

1) Product.  Risk is a simple board game with cards and figures (Miniatures). In fact, the Minis are good enough in Risk you could probably paint them up and make nice units out of them for a napoleonic game.  Nothing spectacular but still quality.

B+

2) Game Rules.  Simple rules and simple dice mechanics. I roll higher than you and defender has the advantage.  If you are looking for nuts and bolts, this is not that game but if you want to conquer the world in an afternoon.  Take the risk!

A

3) Historical Accuracy.  The game is set in the napoleonic era and put other than the game pieces there are no rules to further that so ehhhh.

D

4) Cost/time.  Risk is a cheap board game and takes an evening to play.  And definitely repayable!

A

5) Good Times.  Well I win every game but I am awesome...no really always a good story to be had.  Kenny wants Alaska because of huskies!

A

And the final GPA is 3.26!

A classic and we love playing it!
