Risk Legacy * * * * *

This game is a must get for anyone who likes Risk.It has the battle mechanics of Risk, but is so much more. The choices you make in each game affect the game each time you play it in the future. And the game has sealed packets with new rules and effects that you get to open after completing a requirement that also forever affect the game (The instruction manual even has blank portions that say "place rule set d here" and so on). For example, once someone places 30 or more troops in a single turn, you open a sealed section of the case that has a mystery. it can be cards, troops, upgrades to your facton, a city you perminantly stick on the board, you dont know till it happens! My fav packet is hidden under the plastic organization tray that you dont usually move, it says "do not open ever". There are also bunker and desolation cards you play that once they are played you place a sticker from the card on the map and destroy the card. This choice system only lasts for the first 15 games, then you have a world map for Risk that is not like any other. A map that you created the history in. I havent started mine yet, but am dying to. I think the game will work best with the same group of people for the first 15 rounds. If you get this game I want to be a part of your first 15 games. . . and if you want to be a part of mine i only have one spot open and im looking for someone with a felxable schedule that will take it serious (and have fun).
