 Risk 2210 A.D.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
We feel that one of the most aggravating aspects of the traditional risk and still present in Risk 2210 A.D. is the ability for a player to completely overrun the board during their turn.
To address this (perceived shortcoming) we have created a set of rules to try and balance the game a little more via some rules and the concept of an alternating version of risk where each player's actions are alternated during each phase.
The winner is decided based on the total score of the smaller army (using the normal Risk 2210 scoring rules, including continents bonuses and colony influence cards).

 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.
Unexpected and sometimes unrealistic explosions of power are still a part of Risk 2210, much to the chagrin of classic wargamers.
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.

But in 2210 AD, there are water colonies connecting the continents in ways that eliminate the "bunkers" from the original game, so you have to play more aggressively, which makes this game fun.

Where 2210 and Risk: Lord of the Rings were "serious" versions of Risk, this returns to the beer and pretzels roots of the original.

We are a couple of guys thinking about making a free not-for-profit computer game based on Risk 2210 A.D. We know we can't use the title for trademark reasons or the board or graphics for copyright issues.
Making the win rules different just because you have a computer would be bad: you want players to still be able to figure it out so they can make decisions on what they want to do.

The difference (which I like) is that the value of the set is determined by what you've traded in (3 infantry or 3 cavalry, etc.) and it doesn't matter when you do it so later sets are not worth anything extra.
I can see where standard RISK needs the escalating values to finally bring an end to the game, but that's needed in Lord of the Rings RISK since it has a timer.
RISK 2210 is certainly better, but it actually is a bit 'bigger' than I like.
