Review of Risk Godstorm
The miniatures of Risk Godstorm are well made and sturdy. Players will
enjoy possessing them. Those not familiar with the original game of Risk
will need some time to comprehend the rules of Risk Godstorm. All the
battles waged in Risk Godstorm are resolved with dice play. As this kind
of play can take unending hours a restricting feature of a maximum of
five turns has been brought in. At the end of the fifth turn territories
are counted and the winner is declared. Still, Risk Godstorm can
sometimes extend to three to four hours.
Time spent playing a game of Risk Godstorm whizzes past very fast. It is
an ideal game to keep kids occupied gainfully for a few hours. |
