The game board represents a map of the world divided into 6 continents.

Each player is instructed to carry out a secret objective and the first to complete is the winner. The game calls for planning on a global scale with rewards or disaster, for the bold. That is the name of the game.

The conduct of the game depends upon the number of players; 6 is ideal. Rules for a 2 player game differ. An alternative, longer game version is described.

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.
