Write your own history.

RISK is an extraordinary war game. Although it doesn't accurately portray commanding troops across a world wide battlefield it does a good enough job for an afternoons play. RISK Legacy takes this to a new level. Each game and each decision you make changes the game for ever. Set over 15 games the board evolves, by the addition of stickers, changing each territory, granting it new buffs/debuffs that will change the way in which you need to play in each future game. Each faction also gains new and different abilities as you make your way through the saga. By the end your game will be unique. No one else will have the same game you do as all the modifiers will have utilised differently.

The game is not flawless however. Due to the evolving map and rules, you really need to play with the same group of people each time, meaning if you can't get together too often it could take years to play your 15 games. Due to there being such a wealth of modifiers and variants (many of which occur only under certain conditions and as a "pick one of these two options") a large number of things arnt used, but you won't really notice this. Being a 15 game series there is also the possibility that you may make some modifications early on that cause game breaking OP/UP territories/playable factions, and you will have to live with these for the rest of your games.

All in all, I would recommend this game. But, not without warning. If someone has not played RISK before I would recommend a few games of the base edition before embarking on a 15 game run on RISK Legacy to see if you genuinely l like the game. This is ultimately an evolution of RISK not an alternative.
