Similar games to Risk

Over the past 2 day my friends and I have really gotten into RISK. What games are similar to it and have long campaigns and take into account distances and stuff like that?Alphawolf102

Axis & Allies.

It's a hell of a lot better too. ;)

It's more like Chess than Risk though.

Axis and Allies takes a long time, but it's very deep. Lots of unit types, resources, researching technology, etc.

There is another game called Shogun, which is like Risk in feudal Japan. It's got some unique elements to it.

Settlers of Catan isn't really the same kind of game - it's all about resource managements and planning ahead. There's very little action towards/against other players.

One of my all time favorite games is called Cosmic Encounter. It's pretty old, but it's like Risk in that you have armies trying to defeat other armies, but each army gets a super-power of sorts. It's one of the most versatile games I've ever played and I never get tired of it. It also has a random element in it that prevents the all-too-common problem of everyone ganging up on one player until he gets to frustrated they throw the board out the window.

I don't know any other games like Risk, but Connect 4 is good too.AnimeKiller

Connect 4 is an awesome game. i say stick to the classics: Ro Sham Bo, chess, checkers, Backgammon, Monopoly, Battleship, Clue, Scrabble, (i cant think of any others)

Go is better than all those "classics".

Parcheesi is a surprisingly fun game.

Axis & Allies.

Yep !If you want a very good board game go for Axis and Allies. You have the possibility to fight during the WWII in different battlefield. You can either play the world campaign, the Europe campaign or the Pacific campaign. It is really fun but a game needs at least 6 hours to be completed. I recommend you that great game especially if you have friends who like the WWII.
