    My son and his friends played this (the old? Waddington version ) during the snowed-in days in school. A relation has bought it for him for Christmas but he could only find a 2-player game. Does anyone know where the old style 6 player game would be available? I'm in Dublin but could organise to collect elsewhere. Thank you

    They updated RISK to anewer ruleset in 2008, it added some extra objectives that speed up the game and is for 5 people playing. There was also a quick 2 player version released which must be the version your relative found, the 5 player is the same art-style but a bigger box. Check into Gamers World (1 block towards the Liffey from the Jervis St exit of the Jervis Shopping Centre) I know they have the 2 modern RISKs.

    Gamers world has copies of Original Risk.
    And The More amusing Risk 2210

    Which is a great upgrade to the game.

    Yeah 2210 is really good. Couldn't find it for the longest time but then just happened upon it in the basement in HMV on Henry Street one day.
