In recent months, I have had issues with my laptop and been forced to play on 1) my cell phone and 2) my iPad.
The phone is simply too small to deal with all the complexity of the game. I am not sure having a bigger phone (bigger screen) would help much.
I learned to play better on my iPad by understanding and using different icons to switch screens and options. BUT I prefer ALL one on screen and only the computer allows me to do that.
My point is that the complex nature of the game itself is such that a big screen is needed and that a mobile device, i.e., a cell phone, CANNOT (at this time) handle all the features that this site requires. It seems to me that to make this game more user friendly, we need to have a simpler version of the game; it would require "Risk Lite." One feature I could not engage on my iPad is the Panel Interface to see what territories I can attack from my current "choice" or location (territory). As I said before in another thread, young people (such as teens I teach in high school) want immediate response and most do not have the patience and persistence to learn a complex game such as this.
A few more thoughts: 1) I also teach chess in my school chess club. Most players are not willing to put in the time and effort to learn the game and improve their play. Out of 10 players, if I find ONE that will do so is about normal. When I started some 30 years ago, there were fewer gaming options (nearly NONE electronic) and so fewer options meant more willingness and time to devote to a complex game such as chess. Risk, on CC, are complex games.
2) I played Risk online at the website Pogo. Most players there could not handle the complexity of the game. There were used to playing a game to "pop" balloons when there were at least 3 contiguous ones of the same color, or a game where you switch two tokens to get 3 contiguous ones of the same color. They did not or would not learn a game as complex as Risk, with dice, cards, and a map.
3) My point is that Risk and CC is a limited "market" of willing players. Most who check out the site are NOT willing to spend the time to learn the game. When I was growing up (I am 60) board games were "king" when there were NO electronic games. I took time as a child to learn to play chess and risk and card games. How many play board games NOW versus electronic games on their cell phones? NOT many.
4) One more point: I also play Risk for a change of "pace" in my chess club. Often students like the change and enjoy the game. This year that has NOT happened.....YES, I know, limited data anecdotal data.....agreed.
5) I thought I read that board games (of all types) are making a bit of a comeback; sales increased in the past year or so. Maybe a few even purchased the game of Risk (or chess or checkers).
6) Do what you can to encourage your younger relatives (children, nephews & nieces, grandchildren) to play Risk, chess, checkers, and other board games. Play games because it is FUN. Play a few games because one enjoys the mental challenge of something complex.
