In this version of the strategy board game Risk, the player must engage in a global conflict for world dominance. They must compete against notable historical rulers and military strategists such as Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, Catherine the Great, and other historical figures. The player can command their forces, launch assaults on their foes, defend their regions, and gain awards for their strategic achievements.
The original RISK, the Secret Mission RISK, and the Capital RISK game are the three distinct game variations. In addition, the player can change various aspects of the game, such as the Commander Mode, Attack Advantage, map changes, and maximum territory troop counts. With two controllers or online, the game supports up to six players at once.
