I reckon I could sort you with a copy, or you might find it in a bargain bin at GAME or so. You need to spend a few hours with the tutorial and a week or so playing campaigns to get a good grounding. It's not for the faint-hearted and a single games takes many hours to be played It's very rewarding though, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Thanks Armin So it's not a board game too? Pity ... looks (from the screen-shots) it would make a great board game. So you'd be playing an on-line networked game then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrods Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I think Risk would make an excellent computer game if it was ever made. You could either play on the internet or over a network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urm... nope to the board game EU2 sessions can already take quite a few days, now imagine how long it would take to play it as board game. Yes, optimally it would be played within a LAN. I never played it online against others. Just against comps and on a LAN against human opponents. Just haul your comp over to someone's place to play. I have two extra comps at my house which should be able to handle EU2, so could probably accomodate two guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could either play on the internet or over a network Risk already has been made a computer game, several times over in fact. The latest PC game version was called "Risk II", it had a few optional variants you could play as well, and still should be in bargain areas in your local GAME store. Or sold for peanuts online.
