Can the heroic AUTOBOTS take back CYBERTRON from the evil DECEPTICONS, or will they be forced from their homeworld forever? The robot armies of MEGATRON and OPTIMUS PRIME are fighting a global civil war.

Whoever wins will not only rule CYBERTRON, but they will also gain control of the ALLSPARK, the force that gives life to all TRANSFORMERS. RISK, the world conquest game, is brought to another dimension in this epic game of mechanical mayhem. In the world of TRANSFORMERS things are not always what they seem – even territories can change over in the midst of battle!

If you're a fan of RISK and you're interested in a new variation of the game, then this version is for you.

Like other themed RISK games there are new aspects to the game, like using leaders with attacking/defending advatages and a time limit to play, but this version also incorporates some unique aspects of the Transformers to make things really interesting. Of course, the Cybertronian leaders of your armies can transform, giving them different abilites depending on their mode, but my favorite thing about this version is that the game board itself changes form.

Certain zones move according to your playing of cards, and you can use this to your advantage to reveal hidden areas, create new armies, destroy enemy forces, or block off/open access to other zones.

The game play is pretty quick, with only 6 days to conquer Cybertron and needing only one card to play a card (instead of three matching ones in standard RISK), but of course you can vary the rules and play a longer version of the game.

The board is unique, the armies all use the same figures. The leaders available for the four different armies are Megatron, Prime, Bumblebee, and Blockade.

Risk involves a lot of strategy. It can take several hours to play, so beware of that. It is not a quick, 10 minute game! Any game like Risk, Chess, Stratego, is great for math skills, for exercising the part of the brain that uses analysis, etc., and much better than electronic game playing any day.
