![[image loading]](http://us.media4.battle.net/cms/gallery/FH4S9OGX7R9M1328917643301.jpg) The forthcoming release of RISK: StarCraft will see players choose from the terran, protoss, or zerg factions and six unique heroes before going head to head in this board game classic. The struggles portrayed in the real-time strategy of StarCraft adapt perfectly to classic tabletop RISK gameplay, and the winner will be determined by astute deployment of military might and strategic field tactics. RISK: StarCraft will include three play modes and sports over 290 custom playing pieces. The game launches this summer and will be available in specialty stores throughout North America with a suggested retail price of $49.45. ![[image loading]](http://us.media4.battle.net/cms/gallery/7QFVGG6K4FIA1328917449011.jpg) Descend into a world of myth, magic, and legendary adventure to battle for control of World of Warcraft’s iconic locations. Featuring custom graphics from our artists and designers, the Monopoly game’s land grab includes coveted real estate such as Twilight Highlands, Grizzly Hills, and the Swamp of Sorrows. In the rush to rule over the faction capitals of Orgrimmar and Stormwind, players will roll Alliance- and Horde-themed dice, and feverishly buy, sell and trade in true MONOPOLY fashion, until one player controls the lands and vanquishes all comers. The game retails for $39.95 and will be available in May at specialty stores across North America. These games will formally debut at the 109th annual Toy Fair this Sunday, February 12 in New York City.

So blizzard, just announced a World Of Warcraft Monopoly and a Starcraft Risk, I think this is actually pretty cool!
I am pretty sure I will buy the risk, I also would like if they could release a starcraft version for the ipad as nowadays is where I play risk more but I doubt it!
Also, it seems there is a poll on facebook to choose which player pieces will make it onto the monopoly, nothing of that sort for the starcraft game.

I'd prefer to play those games in custom games on the game itself.

I love both of these games, but it's really hard to find people who want to sit down for 5 hours to play them til the end... T__T

as for risk, if you can play it on an ipad, it is much much quicker. Of course, it is more fun with the real game and all, but for quick games it is awesome!

I am totally buying that Risk! I would like it to play out like Risk Legacy, because I think that is a little more strategic than normal Risk.
|
Personally I find this laughable. ActiBlizz is milking as much from WC/SC as possible.
EDIT: Apparently I'm hating on Blizz for this, when I just don't see a point in paying 2x the price of a risk game.

My parents bought me Risk when i was little for christmass, but its soooo long noone in the family wanted to play a game torugh after the first one, they destroyed my childhood !
|
I'm gonna buy that Risk 100%, can't wait to see it in the stores

Yeah, the problem with risk is the fact that you can lose a game, or just make it so the chances of you winning are very slim, then have it go on for hours; which is a problem, because it's hard to play a game for hours when you know that you loss is inevitable.

If people are gonna buy it why not? That's just smart business.
I don't really get why people have hostile reactions to stuff like this. Its not like having a risk game is gonna hurt starcraft.

this sounds pretty cool. wonder how the miniatures are gonna look for the game. I'll probably end up getting it.

your comment is laughable use your brain before you speak plz

$50 for a risk board? 
It'd be cool if someone makes a custom version of it, though, lol.

Hmm why not play SC2 normally and RISK normally? This just feels too simple, just switch cannons to siege tanks, infantry to marines/zerglings etc. it's an already established game but with other units :/

wtf are you people talking about, there are tons of themed board games...

Are these board games or computer games? I could not figure that out.
|
Board games, obviously....
And fuck monopoly. How that terrible game became popular is beyond me.

Playing monopoly with like 6 friends is the shit. So much cursing and deal-brokering its awsome.
However I think I might just stick with my lord of the rings monopoly
