Risk: Factions Coming to Facebook

Risk: Factions is a new Facebook game, loosely based on Risk, the classic game of world domination.

Here's the description provided:

Take over the world, one territory at a time. When one at a time isn't enough, unleash a Donkey Cannon to destroy your enemies! Build up your military base so that you can maintain a constant supply of Donkey Cannons and other game-changing weapons.

Play as one of a variety of factions, each with unique strengths and special weapons. Use limitless Zombie hordes to overwhelm your enemies' defenses, or use a Catapult to defend the flanks of your Cat faction. However you choose to play, RISK: Factions lets you conquer the world in your own way.

Here's the official trailer for the game, long on attitude, but short on details:

That doesn't really clarify much, does it?

But it looks cool! Check it out at facebook.com/riskfactions.

For a more traditional approach to this popular game, play one of the many the board game versions of Risk, or the software versions, Risk 1 or Risk 2.
