Risk

Risk is a popular strategic board game that offered a new dynamic take on board games that revolutionized the industry and is considered a classic. It was invented by French film director Albert Lamorisse and released in 1957 as La Conquête du Monde or The Conquest of the World in English. (Risk: The Game Of Strategic Conquest) It is a turn-based game to be played by two to six players with the primary objective of the game being to ‘occupy every territory on the board and in so doing, eliminate all other players.’ (Parker Brothers, 1963) Players control armies that they use in an attempt to capture enemy territories with the results dependent on dice rolls. Risk is widely known throughout the world and became incredibly popular in France, America and Italy to the point where there have been multiple licensed variations of it including Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition and released multiple video game adaptions. (How to Win at Risk)
