This isn;'t the latest release, but it was nice to see some updates from my old childhood copy. Formalising neutral countries in the 2 player games was good, although next time we'll have less neutrals as it really boxed us in. It was also good to see a Missions mode for the normal 3-6 player games to save on the long slogging war of dice rolling attrition that the full World Conquest game can become. Was asked the following morning if we could have another game later in the week, so must have been fun!Sam Patehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141121566526149379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084736992014886509.post-60471783335386390302013-11-17T20:56:26.185+00:002013-11-17T20:56:26.185+00:00Didn't we all start with Risk?
