Risk 2210 AD
Set in the not-so-distant future, battles are now fought by machines of destruction, known as MODS, for short. Human commanders
still lead these mechanized troops, but these commanders each have special powers and abilities. These come into play via
the use of Command cards, which really add a whole new dimension to the game and gives it a much-needed face-lift. Now, the
battle is not just for the earth, but the sea and moon are also battlegrounds. Although much has been added, the basic
flavor of the game is still Risk. One very welcome change has been the institution of a five-turn game limit, which allows
the game to play to completion in about three hours. Further, players must also factor in economics in the form of energy.
This energy is used to purchase Command cards, bid for Turn Order and purchase new commanders. There is much more strategy
and planning involved in this new version, but it should still appeal to the classic Risk fans.
