Risk: Legacy is a futuristic version of Risk set on an "Earth" copy. Players tear-up, markup, and change the game components and the rules of the game over a 15-game campaign, at the end of which will leave them with their own unique world. Questions and answers which reveal changes and other hidden content should use spoiler markup where appropriate.
