Game of Thrones Risk Board Game - Deluxe Edition

As a new Risk player, I decided to throw myself in the deep end and have a crack at the World Domination game mode and its brilliant. Strategic and challenging, it's a fun and often outrageously satisfying experience. Adding a Game Of Thrones backdrop only emphasises the ruthlessness of these war games and truly leaves you feeling like a Stark battling to regain control of the North.Beautifully and faithfully designed maps and a wonderfully illustrated and eloquently explained manual make this game an aesthetically pleasing, easy to understand and almost 'pick up and play' experience. Even for a beginner, the rules are easy to understand and follow. The manual includes scenarios and illustrations that excellently describe the action and a clear and concise layout helps the learning process along.Littered with fun and varied additions such as Maester cards and Character Cards that can alter the game at strategic moments, wonderful references and beautifully realised artwork and game pieces. Even the dice are lovely little tactile items who's design adds to the tone of the Westerosi backdrop. There's a genuine feeling of accomplishment and nerdy joy at invading kings landing with Ned Stark and co ...A classic battle in a modern and incredible rich new locale excellently realised and stunningly presented, this is a gorgeous item, well worth the price tag and a fantastic gift for both board game enthusiasts and Thrones fans alike.

Bought Deluxe game for my daughter and son-in-law as they are big fans of Game of Thrones (and I am a big fan of the original Risk game). This is a brilliant game although some of the names are a little difficult to read due to the colour of the maps, but if you dont mind that I highly recommend. So far we have had four family games nights with this game and have been up until 3am lol. We have played with just 3 of us and have recently played with 6 of us. The game is well made. Board is thick and sturdy and pieces are strong. Cards are good quality but I did buy card protector sleeves, which I would recommend) just to look after the cards. They protect the cards and are well worth it. I bought Ultra pro sleeves (clear). This game is brilliant and easy to learn. I would highly recommend. Be prepared for hours of fun and battle.

As a huge fan of GOT, I bought both Monopoly and Risk with Deluxe edition. Frankly speaking, Risk is far more delicate (and 10 pound more expensive).Package: It arrives the next day with very good protection. The box is a little heavy, 2.6 kg, but definitely a sign of good quality!Game: It has two maps (Westeros and Essos), 650 game pieces, gold pieces, record board, etc. Everything is just perfect! worth every penny I spent.I took some photos of the content, they look really cool..

Very good remake of Risk into the Game of Thrones world. I like the way different aspects of the game alter classic Risk gameplay i.e. maester cards and special characters. The build quality of the game could have been better especially the cards are flimsy and need protective sleeves to last more than a few games.

Great board game, fairly costly but after having it about 2 months and playing it several times i'm glad i made the investment, it has provided many hours of entertainment. Having only played classic risk, and some axis & allies in the past i almost had to relearn the game from scratch, this version is incredibly intricate with so many different ways to win. Ive not yet managed to play with 6-7 people but looking forward to the day!TIP: if buying card protectors to go with it, go for medium sized ones and make sure to get enough, there are just shy of 200 cards in the deluxe version and most protectors come in packs of 100.

Bought as a present for my son who loves strategic games and of course GoT!Not a quick game so plan ahead and get that take away in, aimed for the older players and expect a squabble or two - great fun!

When it arrived it was the one I ordered. I have played a few games with it now and there are some drawbacks that could have been done better on there part. Risk is a great game and this version has really stepped it up into something else, there is more variety in the gameplay and you really don't know what your opponent has got up his sleeve, you can go into a battle guaranteed of victory only for him/her to play a card halting your advance while your painfully wait another turn.My advice is double check the version you order, if you just want simple risk get the skirmish version, but if you want a truly entertaining game get this it is worth the price.

We received the game about a week ago and when we opened the box it was badly damaged. The contents of the game are as they should be but the box that's supposed to keep all the pieces together is ripped.We contacted the seller almost immediately and never heard anything back. It's disappointing to spent £50 on a board game for it to arrive like this, but other than that the product is good.
