About This Game

From the introduction: "This game is a variant on Risk; the world conquest game by Parker Brothers. Game play is similar, though you will find that with the new World War One game maps, use of Trench units, and a unique flavor of its own. Our goal in bring this game to you was to provide a strategy board game with the simplicity of play of Risk, but the more in depth strategic elements common in more complicated war games.
