Having played many versions of Risk, this one by far is my favorite. With three types of gameplay, two game board maps(one for two players, one for 3-5, and can be combined for up to seven players), there are many ways to enjoy this game.
For a Skirmish(Traditional Risk)game, gone are the days of the 6 hour marathon games (unless you want to). There are mechanics introduced that keep the games shorter and victory determined by points.
For a Dominion Game, thankfully we found the rulebook to be easy to read and we were able to pick up the cadence of the turns very quickly. Games last about the same amount of time but fewer turns as each one is a bit more action packed given the introduction of Objectives, special Maester Cards, and special house abilities.
Apart from traditional risk, it’s a lot of fun playing in Westeros and Essos with familiar characters. The game itself is well made, the boards, cards, tokens, army pieces, are well made and will last many rounds. I also appreciated the rule book encouraging you to establish “house rules” as there are many ways to play, even lending recommendations on how to modify.
My only criticisms are that some parts of the board are difficult to read and that each house doesn’t have a enough pieces. This version of Risk does not have 1/5/10 army pieces, rather 1/3. We find ourselves often using other armies when we play and are well fortified.
