Review Detail

Risk is a simple war themed game, one of the classics. The strategies involved are simple; most of the strategy comes down to convincing the guy on one front not to attack you so you can focus on the guy on your other front. Mission Risk is a great variant that shortens play time and adds another strategic element to the game. Fun, when I'm in the mood, but it can take kind of a long time (and there's so many other games that provide more fun, strategy, and/or negotiation in a comparable amount of time).
