Risk is probably the best-known and most-played war game. First published in 1959, Risk has proven to be an enduring classic. In 1986, Castle Risk (played on a map of Europe) was published; 2001 brought Risk 2210 AD (featuring underwater and moon territories), and several new versions have been published since then. Risk has been published in many languages.
