In Risk Godstorm the players are priests looking to lead their race (Greek, Celtic, Babylonian, Norse, and Egyptian) to dominate the ancient world and the Underworld as well. To do this they will need to marshall their forces, dominate continents, acquire relics of power and call their Gods to earth. Risk Godstorm uses the basic combat elements of classic Risk but alters many other elements. The game is played on an ancient map of the world that focuses on Europe and Northern Africa. Atlantis is also present and highly desirable however a chaotic event can see the fabled city sink into oblivion, taking all the forces present there with it. At its core the players are trying to control territories and controlling entire continents earns the players bonus units to deploy and further their cause. One of the key differences to classic Risk is that the Underworld can be invaded and defeated units can also be sent to the Underworld to fight again, with some proving themselves worthy enough to return to the Earth. As in the play of Risk 2210 A.D., Risk Godstorm is played over 5 rounds (called Epochs here). At the end of that time frame the player with the most Victory Points is declared the winner. Victory Points are earned for the number of territories controlled + region bonuses + control of crypts and altars in the Underworld and for every relic that offers a territory bonus if that territory is controlled. Also like Risk 2210 A.D., the game begins with a number of territories out of play. Here they are called Plague Lands. Risk Godstorm also allows players to play Classic Risk using the Risk Godstorm board for an alternate experience. 2-5 playersAges 10+120 minute play time Contents:1 Ancient Earth Gameboard1 Underworld Gameboard1 Reference Board / Epoch Counter1 Sunken Atlantis Board5 Pantheon Tiles50 1-point faith tokens10 5-point faith tokens5 Turn Order Markers5 Plague Markers1 Maelstrom Marker300 Soldiers (60 each in 5 colors)50 War Elephants (10 each in 5 colors)12 Temples5 Gods of War (1 each in 5 colors)5 Goddesses of Magic (1 each in 5 colors)5 Gods of the Sky (1 each in 5 colors)5 Gods of Death (1 each in 5 colors)17 War miracle cards15 Magic miracle cards17 Sky miracle cards17 Death miracle cards44 Territory cards (includes 2 wild cards)10 six-sided Dice (5 white, 5 black)1 Rulebook Show more
