Dear All

I have two major announcements.
  1. As you may have noticed, the site has been completely reworked. The old site was Risk, Strategies Explained ... (riskgame.8m.com). There is only a single point of registration and from there you can interact anywhere on the site. The forums are now integrated into this site. You can participate in forums, provide solutions for scenarios and comment on articles. May I ask everyone to register again as the old forum registration is unfortunately no longer available. However, the forum posts are imported to this new site and you should be able to resume reading and posting as normal.
  2. The second announcement is that I have published a book on Risk game strategies and have discussed the use of real-life skills in Risk and vice versa. The book is called, Total Diplomacy, The Art of Winning Risk. It attempts to cover a wide range of topics from deception, to Machiavellian tactics and online Risk strategies used in computer games. I hope that you will find the book useful.
This site is already the best place for finding, discussing and examining cunning strategies for Risk. The idea is to grow the site even further to cover all aspects of playing Risk and practising diplomacy. You will find a considerable amount of strategic tips discussed in the forums. My intention is to make it easy for you to interact with other fellow fans on your favourite topics. Equally, the captured information should be provided to you in a concise and easy way so that you don't have to spend a lot of time on the net to find an answer to a little question (or even a big question). Hopefully, the new site would help us doing just that.

Diplomacy, after all, is something everyone must attempt to master and the best way to do it is by interaction. If you want to learn something, just go ahead and do it. Nothing else will beat that. Playing Risk is a good excuse to learn and practice diplomatic skills.

Watch this space, there is a lot more to come ....

About the Author

I am a board game and Risk game enthusiast. I like thinking and talking about strategy in games which has led me to the creation of this website. Although Risk is a classic, I feel one can never get tired of playing this game. Read about what I think of the game and I am always eager to know what you think.
