I ran across a dated, but still good, article on the history of Risk.

An interesting partial list of games that Risk has inspired... is also included.

Amoeba Wars
Gnomes War

I've got my old board with the wooden pieces tucked away in a safe place.

Many sleepless nights hovering over that board while in college. A beer in one hand, a , well let's forget what else I had......

A slide rule? A bowler hat? An opium pipe? What are you on about, gramps, playing these guessing games!

i remember playing risk at my uncles house a while ago... he had the roman numerals version of it. FREAKIN SWEET!

You clearly like Risk more than anyone else, Patroclus. I mean, most people use pornography. Didn't your opponents complain?

Oh my!

ummmm...

Wow..... I remenber that version....my first risk game....memories....

This game brings back so many memories of defeat

Scorba: I'm gonna have to find you in a game and annihiliate you.

Zamboni: You're on the list, too!

i've got the wooden pieces
'inherited' it from my dad & my uncle. they used to spend weeks over their games when they were whippersnappers. they even had to introduce different coloured washers to indicate 50 & 100 armies. This was mostly down to an early misreading of the rules; they were dividing armies by 3 instead of territories. Oh, how we laughed at them!
I think I started playing Risk with them not that long after my first words...
Ah, such sweet memories
