EA has its mind set on "re-inventing" classic board game Risk for Xbox Live Arcade. Declared as Risk: Factions, the game is being developed by Stainless Games, best known for XBLA's Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (which is on sale this week). This new version of the classic will offer objective-based and world conquest modes. We're also told that during "animated combat missions, enemies will be able to trigger 'Overkill' moments," whatever that is. The game will also include five playable factions, "each with different strengths," which will battle on "new maps" with "dynamic terrain." Sorry, hold up, are we still talking about Risk?

I dont know about how this new ruleset will go down, but the devs did say there will be the option for classic games as well - so I won't complain about it.

Risk, to me is still the best board game ever invented. Monopoly cant hold a candle to it, despite its legendary popularity. :up:

risk is the best board game by far...I haven't played it in years though.

Not sure about being the best board game ever, but I too love Risk.

sounds interesting, but I've stopped getting excited about Arcade games. The last few I've really wanted haven't lived up to expectations for me.
