I played this game with my parents when I was young and had not played in a long time.When my niece and nephew were coming for a visit I decided to pick up a couple of board games, and of course Risk was one of them. It was the one they enjoyed the most and we spent hours in the evening after dinner playing.It was interesting to see how they developed strategy and understanding of the game over the course of a couple of days and their game play improved. For some reason the other games I bought were not as interesting (or interesting at all) and then this became the only one we played.Well worth having a copy for old times sake or when you have visitors of any age.
