Growing up,I remember risk had a large board that folded in 3. I have bought at least 2 risk sets and been disappointed that each time the board was smaller. Where can I get a risk set with the larger board. The first small board came with the deskshelf set. I can understand that but why does the 1959 edition come with the small board. I dont think they were using the small board in 1959.

I have always wanted to learn how to play Risk and even attempted to one time but was lost by the rules. I think I even played it once but didn't get to finish it. Either way, I haven't quite figured out what the craze is with this game but would be willing to give it a second chance - or should I say, I'd be willing to "risk" it.

This game could have been made a lot less complicated than it's actual finished product. I spent more time arguing over the rules than really playing the game itself.
