Hasbro has just brought out a new version of Classic Risk that apparently adds some new strategic elements to the game. They've also abandoned the "black powder" style for a modern era setting. I don't much care for that style change, but I'm always interested in variant rules. Anyone tried these? |

If they are going modern, perhaps it includes the "nuclear Risk" variant… Haven't played Risk in a skillion years. |

I think the 'nuclear Risk' variant involves a can of lighter fluid and a match.  |

"a new version of Classic Risk" new classic hmmm, got to be a joke in there but I am too tired to think of one. Got a link to the new figures? |

changing one mechanism in the game can allow for fast 30-45 minute games…. attacker wins ties.
Great for tournaments. |

This is probably a good thing, but I wouldn't care for Risk with M-16s. I have eight or ten Risk flavors and Risk clones in the garage, but it finally dawned on me that I don't like Risk, I just thought I should have them. Anybody looking for a copy of Castle Risk? Its missing its castles, as I got it at a thrift store. I wouldn't mind trying Risk Godstorm, though. Yeah, the new figures might be put to other uses. Andrew |

The sf game (Risk 2210?) has nice minis. They paint up well as small scale mecha, or powered infantry and support robots. |

The new "miniatures" are crappy – Arrows? Who wants arrows? When we play Risk 2210 we nuke the areas AFTER everyone has set up. |
