Are you brave (and lucky) enough to conquer the world? Based on the classic board game of the same name, RISK combines the much-loved, time-tested global tug-of-war with all-new options to create a masterful contest of chance and strategy. For those wishing to re-create the magic of the board game, Classic Risk mode has you waging war across the standard-issue RISK map. As with the original, all battles take place between 1792 and 1800, so the map will reflect the names of the regions at that time. Each player takes his turn moving armies into chosen locations, playing off of strategies, initiating battles, and doing whatever it takes to eliminate the competition. In Ultimate Risk, you decide whether players should each defend their capitol, wipe out all competing armies, or control 50% of the playing field in order to win. Whichever of these endings you select will determine how the game is played. Ultimate Risk also allows the use of generals, forts, terrain modifiers, natural disasters, and more. You can use up to eight different factions in a game, four of which can be human controlled. There is also a Head-to-Head mode and up to four players can get in on the action via Multi-Tap
