 Science Fiction Game Reviews
It was a simplistic game prone to sudden reversals of fortune as armies that had been holed up in Madagascar suddenly exploded back onto the battlefield thanks to a sudden infusion of troops from command card trades.
The differences are apparent from the game's beginning, when four nations are randomly nuked off the face of the earth and become unavailable.
After the nukes comes army placement, which is similar to that of the original Risk game: each player places "machines of destruction" on one of 40-odd nations in the 2210 era.

 FAQ for the board game Risk
Instead of Risk cards that are cashed in for extra armies, one gets cards that can be used to gain special abilities, such as bonuses on attacks or defense, ability to attack across water, etc. The attacker cannot roll more than 2 dice against a castle space.
In holding their Risk cards as well as your own, you become an inviting target for other players to destroy you (and a threat due to the cards you will have to cash in next go), especially if you have weakened yourself significantly in destroying the first player.
Risk is the elemental war game and its rules are very resilient to changes and additions.

 Amazon.com: RISK - The Lord of the Rings Edition: Toys & Games   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The game board is a four fold design rather than a two fold design like the standard risk board.
The two player game works by having good, evil, and neutral armies, the neutral "player" only defends, does not get reinforcements, and is placed on the neutral territories, the good player gets the good territories and the evil player vice versa.
The 2 player game does work well and can be fun, but it seems a little too weighted toward evil, the evil player starts out with territories that are more connected, and with a little easier access to conquering the continent of Rhun right away.
