Risk, the strategy game of global domination, challenges players to command armies and conquer territories. Created by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse in 1957, Risk requires strategic planning, negotiation, and a bit of luck. Players must balance aggression with diplomacy, forging alliances and betraying them when necessary to achieve victory. The game's complex mechanics and potential for dramatic reversals make it a favorite among strategy enthusiasts. Risk's enduring appeal is reflected in its many themed editions, from historical battles to fantastical realms, allowing players to relive epic conflicts or create new ones.
