You can knock out enemy armies using air strikes and atomic weapons it's possible to assassinate a territory's general to scupper the opponent's next go and you can improve defences through resistance movements and 'treacherous' alliances. Rather than the cards you play merely bringing in reinforcements, their effects are far more varied. (There's also the free, Universal, Lux Touch, perfect for skinflints hankering for Risk action - it's pretty basic and not a patch on EA's official game, but it does the job.)Īnd then there's Blood & Honor (£1.49, Universal), which makes small tweaks to the rules that, perhaps surprisingly, dramatically change how you approach the game.
You get five with the game itself, but dozens more are available for download, mixing ancient, modern and fantasy worlds. Lux DLX 2 (£2.99, Universal) is essentially 'Risk with new maps'.
In many cases, these come across like 'Risk plus', and that's fine by us, given that the EAgame doesn't expand on the original concept. Because Risk has a fairly simple rule-set, it's one of those games - like Scrabble - that enterprising developers have used as the foundation for their own creations.
