What is Risk 2210 A.D. about?
Risk: 2210 AD is a futuristic version of the classic Risk, set in the year 2210. Players battle for control over Earth, underwater territories, and the Moon.
Gameplay
-
- Turn-based Strategy: Players compete over five rounds (years), placing armies, attacking opponents, and using special abilities.
- Area Control and Dice Rolling: The game retains the core mechanic of area control and dice-based combat, where players move armies and roll dice to resolve battles.
- Commanders and Energy: Commanders provide special abilities, such as controlling specific territories (land, water, or Moon), and players use energy (currency) to buy command cards, activate powers, and build space stations.
- Nuclear Attacks: Players can use nuclear attacks to disrupt enemy territories, adding strategic complexity.
- Limited Turns: The game is shorter than traditional Risk, with only five rounds, which keeps the pace manageable.
