Risk -1959 Classic Reproduction- 50th Anniversary game

This 2008 Winning Moves release commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the original release of RISK! Continental Game. Since 1959 RISK! has fascinated millions of "world conquerors." It's appeal is timeless because every game is a unique experience. You'll need sound strategy-and some luck-plus great diplomacy (to persuade your opponents to spare you and attack the others!) Make a misstep, and you'll be wiped out. Make the "right moves" and you'll conquer the world and win!

Features:

• Oversized bi-fold game board with original style art
• Six sets of beautiful wooden "army" peices, conveniently stored in clear plastic boxes with lids
• Deck of area cards with original style art
• High quality dice (two white and three transluent red)
• Rules booklet featuring a History of Risk, 1959 original rules, rules for a short game, plus popular rules variations for experienced players

RISK! is for ages 8 and up, 2-6 players and is stated to play in 60-90 minutes... but I sure remember playing much longer games myself each and every day after school.

Relive your days of youth, or share your fond memories with your own kids.
