This might be a cool game. I just hope it's not boring or extremely difficult. Looks interesting!

I never played risk before. Looks interesting. Thanks Little.

I might have played risk once when I was younger but don't remember. Looks interesting!

Bear Rabit · « **Reply #4 on:** October 08, 2009, 04:24:44 PM »

I have never played this game, would be neat to finally learn how to play it.

Flaricka · « **Reply #5 on:** October 08, 2009, 05:27:43 PM »

I went through a phase of playing this a lot about 10 years ago with an old boyfriend ... but I don't remember ever being very good at it

Princess Polamalu · « **Reply #6 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:41:02 PM »

looks like fun but as jeff said hope the concept is not too difficult to grasp

Keith · « **Reply #7 on:** October 08, 2009, 09:51:24 PM »

It's been years since I played Risk. I really needed a refresher as to how it's played.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_(game)

Looking at the game screen, that's freakin huge compared to their other games! Not sure if this is a one-off, but they really could make some bigger size games. Can't wait to see if pogo has anything special up their sleeves for Risk.

Polgaratex · « **Reply #8 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:01:07 AM »

Knowing Pogo, they will have some helpers to make the game more playable for noobies. I don't think I have ever even heard of this one

jigglepig · « **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:55:17 AM »

As I remember it it is a fairly involved strategy game. I hope it IS quite complex as it is rewarding to learn something a bit harder. Just like the more complicated card games on pogo though I'm sure it will still be easier on the computer...as it doesn't let you make a 'wrong' move so it's faster to learn the rules.

robero45 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:24:00 PM »

RISK can be a real challenge where the best minds would win most of the time. I am sure that Pogo "dumbed it down," because at the level I played it, I would win every time unless playing another very very experienced player.

MsMissy · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2009, 08:39:19 AM »

I have never heard of this game, but like all new games i will surely give it a try. Looks kinda complated to me at this time. Tks Little for the screenshots.

k_lunch · « **Reply #12 on:** October 11, 2009, 06:26:12 PM »

Risk is one of my favorite games, I'm so excited! If you want to learn some basics of how to play, go to Reflexive and download the 1 hour trial of either Risk or Risk 2 - they both stick to the rules, so you should be able to get a good feel for the game. I'm glad they're getting a game that my husband will be willing to rank me up in while I'm at work.

jtroth · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:29:00 AM »

we play Risk all the time, can't wait for this one to come out. DH will be willing to play for me too..lol
on the computer its fairly easy to play.

bretslilstinker · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2009, 12:01:10 PM »

If I remember right...There was a lot of dice rolling, when you go against an opponent to "win" and get their territory...The hardest part was deciding where to put all your men and to protect your territory...This is probably a really "dumbed down" way to explain it

LordDragon · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2009, 10:56:38 PM »

Played Risk many times in High School (more than 25 years ago) still am good at it, it's honestly rare when I lost a game to AI players. So I LOVE this idea

mumof2boys5 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2009, 02:55:20 PM »

doesn't look like my cup of tea but I will give it a go, however it's right up my hubby's street he had many a happy time in his younger years playing risk .

MissSunShineange · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2009, 11:59:11 PM »

Where do you all get your cute art work, and make things with your name on it?
Please someone tell me explain it

MJClark5 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 26, 2009, 08:34:15 AM »

Looks difficult and confusing to me

robero45 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 31, 2009, 01:42:05 PM »

Since we could be playing against four or more pogo computers, will the computers be dim-witted like thier HEARTS bots or will they be more clever like some if their other bots?

dustyshot · « **Reply #20 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:18:30 PM »

I loved risk years ago when I played it. I hope this will be good as the real board game.

Princess Polamalu · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2009, 10:05:13 AM »

I recently downloaded a version of this game on iwin as i have an all inclusive membership and I am able to play for free. It seemed to be really fun but also a little confusing. Im going to read the instructions on Keiths link and see if that makes it any easier. As others have mentioned Im sure Pogo will have power-ups hints etc...to make it a little easier for us.

angel · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2009, 04:03:08 PM »

I have both of Hasbro's versions (1&2) of this game for my hubby. He really enjoys playing the first one, the second one has a very unfair and unrealistic playing strategy. Regardless, I hope they 'smart it up' rather than 'dumb it down' so the Risk fans will have a challenge.

cherrylea · « **Reply #23 on:** November 18, 2009, 11:27:07 PM »

I never have been a huge fan but i'm excited to see what pogo's version will be like. Any word on if this is going to be a club game with ranks/badges? Hopefully they'll offer multiple layers of difficulty so more people can enjoy the game, a relatively easy level for those of us inexperienced players but a hard difficulty for those who've been playing forever and want to be challenged for maximum enjoyment for all.

HypnotizedMind · « **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2010, 02:25:46 AM »

ive never played risk either...but this looks nice!!

lottie1703 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 07, 2010, 02:50:23 PM »

when'll it be out?

When Pogo releases it, my best guess is probably the elusive 'soon'.

Noone knows when they will release a game, we just wait through Tuesday maintenance and hope they have blessed us with one of their new 'coming soon' games we've been waiting for

MsMissy · « **Reply #27 on:** January 17, 2010, 09:26:20 AM »

I havent ever played this game or heard of it, but like all new games ill ure try it out.

Keith · « **Reply #28 on:** January 17, 2010, 10:06:13 AM »

I think pogo is taking a risk putting this game out. In the past, complicated games have shown to be duds. Blooop comes to mind as a complicated Connect 4 with an insanely hard bot.

MzPittman · « **Reply #29 on:** January 17, 2010, 01:09:40 PM »

Sounds like fun,I'll have to try it

Speak for yourself! I can't beat that bot at all

felines · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:39:12 PM »

Although it's a little off subject I can beat the bots about half the time when I play using the building blocks option.

robero45 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 24, 2010, 05:41:04 PM »

When I played RISK as a board game, I always had the option of "accidentally" tipping the board and messing up positions so badly that the game positions could not be reconscructed. I hope Pogo gives us that "tilt" option when they release the game SOON.

Pariah · « **Reply #34 on:** March 18, 2010, 07:45:18 AM »

As a major long time fan of the game Risk, I think they have done a great job with this game. After playing in the beta for the last week, I have found that the AI is pretty comparable to what you would expect from an average human player. The AI seems to "understand" the basics for good placement and strategy, yet is not overwhelmingly strong to the point of being unbeatable. I have only lost once so far, but I am a very experienced player. I'd have to say that I am enjoying the game and can't wait for it's release.

Keith · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:32:48 AM »

Risk is now out! Go add to favorites!

jeanie wantem · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2010, 09:22:47 AM »

My neighbor used to get in such fights with her hubby because of his "King of the world" attitude after winning at RISK that she individually painted all of the little markers with one color with her fingernail polish. Mine you - this means that each piece would need to be done twice to cover all of the sides. I suggested she just knock the game off the table but I am sure that the time consuming project made her feel good. Her hubby will be happy to learn that it is now a Pogo game.

LittleOne · « **Reply #37 on:** March 23, 2010, 11:52:22 AM »

I'm really excited about his game! This has to be one of the games I've been most looking forward to from pogo in a long time!

Princess Polamalu · « **Reply #38 on:** March 23, 2010, 04:40:54 PM »

played it and it was ok.....will take time to learn how to be good at it!!!!

oldblue153 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2010, 05:13:07 PM »

Today was the first time i've ever played risk...n it took quite a few hours i finally am managing to beat the bots....I love strategy games....but it will take quite a while to master this one.

Flaricka · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2010, 05:33:55 PM »

One thing that doesn't seem quite fair is the ranking. The way I understand it, it's just completing games (win or lose) ... so for badge hounds, you could simply play badly to end a game quickly and never really have to learn to play it well.

Polgaratex · « **Reply #41 on:** March 24, 2010, 07:38:30 AM »

As far as I am concerned, a lot of Pogo's ranking systems are wonky. Red Threes anyone? How about MISSES in Battleship

Having never played Risk before, I read the rules then played a bit. Will have to go back and forth several times to get it and this is not a type game I like anyhow. Will play for badges of course

Fran3200b · « **Reply #43 on:** March 25, 2010, 12:48:53 PM »

Played this game earlier for the first time and it took me nearly an hour just to finish 1 game. Not sure yet if I like it or not, found it very confusing. $:-\$

MsMissy · « **Reply #44 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:12:17 PM »

I myself cannot understand this game. I think it is gonna take awhile to even get a rank for me. really not my type of game. But gl 2 y'all who do like it & win. $:-\$

Keith · « **Reply #45 on:** March 26, 2010, 07:26:46 AM »

You might want to refer to the beginner's guide pogo posted in news section. I added that info to tips section which is also updated.
