The Ukraine is Weak …

One of the most popular board games around, for generations, is the "Classic Game of Global Domination," Risk. It's so much a part of our cultural zeitgeist that there was even an episode of Seinfeld in which a game of Risk played a huge part. A favorite for over 40 years, Risk is a game for between two and six players, and depending on how involved you want to make it, can last an entire evening, even longer. Manufactured by Milton Bradley, the classic Risk set includes 360 military miniatures.

In addition to the original game of Risk, PLAY THE GAME READ THE STORY also carries several different versions of Risk. If you prefer science fiction future warfare, Risk 2210 AD might be the game for you. Fascinated by ancient cultures like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians? Risk Godstorm offers a continent-spanning battle over the ancient world to see which civilization will reign supreme. All versions of Risk come with the materials necessary to play the original, classic game.

While Risk can involve a small group, if you're having a larger gathering, adult party board games might be a better bet.

Liven Up the Party!

When it's late and the drinks have been flowing, it might be time to break out an adult party board game. Choices available from PLAY THE GAME READ THE STORY include 7 Deadly Sins, the classic Dirty Minds Deluxe Edition, and the very popular I've Never…?
