Risk is a popular board game centred around conquering the world through strategic planning and tactics. The game was originally released in 1957 by Parker Brothers and has since seen various versions and editions.

The objective of Risk is to conquer territories on a world map while defeating other players. The game board consists of different countries and continents interconnected by borders. At the beginning of the game, each player receives a certain number of armies and controls a number of territories.

Players take turns performing actions such as moving armies, capturing adjacent territories, and attacking other players. The game utilizes dice to determine the outcomes of attacks. The more armies a player has, the higher the chances of success in an attack.

A key aspect of Risk is the strategic management of armies and territories. Players can reinforce their armies by capturing territories, earning additional armies. Continents also play a role as players earn a bonus for controlling an entire continent. This can be a crucial strategic consideration when planning attacks and defences.

The game continues until a player conquers all territories on the world map, at which point they are declared the winner. Risk combines luck and strategy, requiring players to take risks, make smart decisions, and plan long-term strategies.

Risk is a classic among board games and is played by millions of people worldwide. There are also various expansion sets and thematic variants available that add further depth and interest to the game. It is a game that requires careful thinking and interaction between players, providing an exciting and challenging experience.
