Play Risk Online

Risk on the Sega Genesis, released in 1994 by Parker Brothers, was one of the few digital adaptations of a classic board game that felt right at home on the console. It arrived during a time when strategy games were finding a new audience on home systems, offering a more immediate and visually engaging way to experience global domination without setting up a physical board for an hour first.

You control colored armies, moving them across a world map to capture territories and eliminate rival factions. The main objective is to conquer the entire globe by defeating all other players, either AI or human. Key mechanics include placing armies at the start of each turn based on the number of territories you hold, then attacking adjacent regions through a simple dice-rolling combat system. The game moves at a deliberate pace, with the AI opponents proving surprisingly cunning and aggressive on higher difficulty settings. It feels tense and calculating, like a quiet war fought one dice roll at a time.
