Ah, the good old Uni days. Half a dozen guys, 40 cans of lager, some ‘unusual’ cigarettes, a Risk board, and no sleep ’til there’s an outright winner. Or we all pass out.

I played the board-game RISK a lot in the early seventies when I was in boarding-school.
As we all progressed our skills we finally found out that the one who starts the game ultimately always wins. This game is basically flawed !!!
I have no idea how they will manage to fix this in the video game version.
