[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 3664174, member: 7808"] In addition to the ones you mentioned, I know of Star Wars: Clone Wars Edition. I believe there were two versions of LotR Risk: an early edition that had a slightly smaller map, and the full version. As mentioned, the LotR full version is by faaaaaaar my favorite. It has the best map, the best cards, the best everythng. My two complaints with it are that it only has pieces for 4 players (the size makes it much more ideal for a 6 player game than the original, so I've played games where we steal pieces from others sets to make it 6 player), and the color scheme of the continents. As a colorblind person, I can tell you that the numbers of browns, greens, and reds on that board all blend together. I never really liked Godstorm. Especially the special variant where there are a limited number of rounds in the game. Blah. Godstorm and 2210 both also have a variant where you have to "bid" for play order, instead of playing in a fixed order. I don't like that at all, or any variation of Risk that involves "money" for that matter. If I wanted to have to buy different types of units, I would be playing Axis and Allies. I also think the Moon base of 2210 was done much better that the Underworld in Godstorm. I've only played SW: Clone Wars, not original trilogy. It was ok, but nothing too new. I'm planning on buying the Transformers version soon. There's always a lot to be said for standard Risk, but after you've played it enough times, the map is just too simple. The number of stragies is fairly limited. The size and variation on the new boards help a bit, but, as I keep saying, LotR is the best. [/QUOTE]
