The classic world conquest strategy game. The game board represents a map of the world divided into six continents, each of which is subdivided into a number of territories. The object of the game is to occupy every territory on the board by eliminating all other players. Refer here for a description of game play.
The Risk cards are neatly packed in their own carton.

Risk was first produced in France in 1957 as La Conqueste du Monde.  In 1959, it was renamed Risk: The continental game, by Parker Brothers for release in the US. Various names have been used since eg. Risk: The game of global domination, Risk: The world strategy game, Risk: The world conquest game.

In later editions, mission cards are included. The objective being to successfully complete a secret mission, rather than occupy the whole world.
