The Library Risk game set uses little colored blocks. Modern Risk sets use infantry, cavalry and artillery figures for game pieces.

Yes, this version has wooden blocks, which represent 1 army each, and oval-shaped pieces that represent 10 armies each.

Yes the miniatures are basically the same as DnD minis. The board is similar but uses hexagons instead of a square grid.

Yes, the back of the box indicates that the three dlc codes are included in this set. I don't open my figures so I'm not sure where inside the codes are located but the packaging says the codes r within.

I don't know for certain, as I bought this and the expansion both in second edition. I imagine they improved a few things and made the pieces all usable in the same box (for when you have the original and the expansion). The expansion actually comes with pitri dishes for the diseases and a good molded compartment for each pieces of both sets.Honestly not sure what was different in first edition though. I read somewhere that the box was not as good, but I am sure there were other changes as well.

That is a good question...I also found this book in the "Books" section when I searched there. Perhaps it has multiple categories it belongs to? The beginner box can be confusing if you don't read exactly what you are buying. So, just make sure you read the product description before ordering. Ah see your other comments, and I see your point. Often products that fall into multiple categories will be grouped into all applicable but not always. After further looking into this, I can see your problem, yes, it seems to be lumped in with the toys and games. Have you looked into the game maker (Fantasy Flight) to see if it is any different?

I don't know yet as I just ordered them too, but this is only slightly more expensive than most of their expansion packs. My kids love the game so much that a few more dollars is okay with me for a quality strategy game the whole family plays together. (Especially since shipping is free for me, and there is no store within my state that sells these games.)

Wonder if they were the bricks made from China then. There's a forum on Brickset.com that tries to point out the differences between the bricks manufactured in China vs. the ones in Denmark or elsehwere. Would be a little disappointed too if the minifig is manufactured in China too (the Collectible figures are).

Does it really matter? I mean it is a book which contains all the rules you will need to play a RPG boardgame with friends. To be able to play an RPG boardgame you need toys such as figurines, dice etc.So I'd say it encompasses different kinds of classification.

Probably. Per the kickstarter they finally got their shipment in of the base game. Mine is due to arrive any day now. You can always double-check with the seller, who is also the publisher, to be sure. The way to tell, once you have it, is if the game board is double-sided with rocket-shaped dice spots on one side, and regular 6-sided dice on the other.

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!

Hello Everyone! I have both Risk and the Original Axis and Allies games and we play both frequently since we are in the military. I must agree with Greg, when it comes to the differences. Risk is the childrens version of Axis and Allies. While their is strategy involved in Risk, Axis and allies requires much more strategy and money management to be successful. We play risk on friday nights because its a quick way to have a war and end it in enough times to head out drinking. Once a month around noon, we play Axis and Allies, and it lasts pretty much the whole day when we have someone new playing. When all of our experienced players show up, it lasts the weekend. I have a rule to where you can be the same country twice in a row. It changes up the results and gives everyone the chance to learn the stragies and styles of all fo the countries. I have seen the allies win more than the Axis, but i have seen the Axis destroy when the right people have control of them and if they act swiftly. Both games are fun, but ill have to say that if you are looking to have wars that will give your friends a real reason for saying things like " Down With America!" then Axis and Allies is a must!

Yes there is no codex inside. Any and all codexes need to be bought separately. Sadly, this version if the games now considered old, as there is a newer version out. You will also need to buy a new rule book.

The MAJOR problem is: with a toy/gameboard classification, the import taxes makes the cost to import the game too high (US$ 250). For me the amazon put the books in the same category that the Introdutory Box was. But the correct would be to classify as BOOK or in both category.For example, Shadowrun is the same as this product (an RPG book) and is classified as book (dont pay taxes to import)...

The figurines are sold alone. The packs are sold with two characters and two power discs. The play sets are sold with two characters and their own "world" to play in.

I think that the numbers are seperate in all the editions. They are circles that you place onto the board (randomly so that every game is different).

Yes, 28 lego figures. The set includes figures to represent 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns for each side (28 total chess pieces two players). The rooks are tower-like structures, not figures. You may want to glue the top/bottom of the figures together if you really want to use the set to play chess. Sometimes the top-bottom come apart.
