My Review

Growing up, I loved the board game Risk. This game is very similar, but with a wide variety of different regional maps that opens up lots of different strategies. Some maps also let you travel the seas in order to reach islands or expand the directions you can attack from. This is a very easy game to learn, and lots of fun! The other two games in the Lux series are Ancient Empires Lux and Lux Deluxe.
