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.

Is there a newer version of this game that has come out since 2003? That is just the last version of Risk rules that I see.

I tride so hard to learn how to play Risk but after reading through the rules and then being shown how to play I still didn't get it so I gave up. I know some love this game and will play for hours but I sure don't see how.

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.

Can take lots of time to finish. Took awhile to figure out actually how to play it but overall my son and his two children like 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.
