Review: Great game with excellent depth & relatively easy to learn - This game has a great unique spin. Rather than everyone having their own units and armies to use, the units in this game are shared. Every player has certain "preferred" armies they want to win territory and others they want to lose. You can accomplish this goal by influencing armies to expand their territory, or sabotage the ones you dislike. Works really well at a variety of player counts 2-4 as well. The collectors edition doesn't add a ton to the game, but having the plastic cities, towers, and farms is a beneficial visual when playing, and the added cards can keep things fresh if you play alot.
Review: Secret Societies Play Risk - Very fun game, you play as a secret society running the game for all the colored nations. You have nations you want to do well and some not so much. All players have a randomized secret order of favorites to help.
