Winning Moves Games Risk 1959 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is wonderful to once again be able to buy Risk, my favorite board game, with wooden pieces like the ones I grew up with. They are nicer to play with, more durable, and altogether less tacky than the flimsy plastic pieces that have lately been sold with the game. The differences in the board and the cards seem much less significant to me.
I would have rated this version of Risk 5 stars but for one issue: it includes only the 1959 rules. These rules were revised in 1963, which greatly improved and deepened the game play. Since the rule booklet is not an exact reproduction of the original, and does contain additional information that was not published in 1959, I feel they should have included the revised rules, which have been the accepted standard for decades now.
(The major difference is the number of pieces each player starts out with. Risk lovers will know exactly what I am talking about; for everyone else, the details are available online, and definitely worth looking up before you play the game.)
