Risk The 1980's Edition with Original 1980's Artwork and Components by Winning Moves Games USA, Strategy Board Game of World Domination for 2 to 6 Players, Ages 8+

Remembering Risk from my childhood we introduced our kids to the game this last weekend. Okay it is much longer game play than I remember. Like monopoly you might need to take a break and come back the next day to finish if everyone is not moving quickly. Having said that the kids all played together for hours and we had lots of fun. Youngest two in elementary school did okay and the middle an high school kids really understood the concept.

Can hardly wait to introduce my adult kids to this 80's classic board game.

This is just as I remembered from when I was a kid, my now 10 year old was winning and quit on me because it took to long! Great quality. Fun for me not him!

I have seen some of this in earlier comments, but here goes. I can confirm that yes, the board of this game is smaller than the actual board from the 1980's -- though I don't see that as a bad thing. The pieces are the same design, which is great! I believe they are smaller than the originals though. I don't like the cheap looking plastic army men figures of some other games nor the wooden cubes of the really old versions. The worst thing about this particular version are the flimsy paper/cardboard boxes that the pieces come in. They did not come in the colorful plastic boxes of the original 1980's version. I bought a package of 6 plastic boxes though and fixed that easy enough. Also, because my kids and I play this so much, we took the cards to Office Depot and had them laminated and cut. Now our game will endure forever!

Classic fun game!!

Very good game to play

Giving it 3 stars because of the packaging. It isn't the actual 80s edition. The board is smaller and quad-folding, which doesn't lie completely flat. The armies come in super flimsy cardboard tab boxes (The outside box art markets this as "no plastic packaging" with green leaves as if it's some sort of eco-friendly thing that is better. It is not. The whole point of having a board game is storing it, keeping it for play later, and the presentation during play.

My family and I had so much fun playing this game. We played for about 4 hours straight and finally had to declare a winner based on conquered territories, and the amount of armies on the board. Look forward to many more nights of fun.

I originally played risk when I was a teenager it was a game me and my friends played for hours I am now 74 and it has not lost any of the magic and competitiveness
