Risk: Godstorm

Risk Godstorm is a mythic strategy board game that reimagines classic Risk in an ancient world shaped by gods, legends, and divine power. Players take on the role of high priests leading one of several ancient civilizations, including Greek, Celtic, Babylonian, Norse, and Egyptian, in a struggle for dominance across both the mortal world and the Underworld.

The game builds on the familiar territory control and dice driven combat of Risk while introducing powerful new mechanics. Players expand their armies, conquer regions, collect relics, and summon gods to influence battles and shift the balance of power. Control of continents grants reinforcement bonuses, but the map also features legendary locations such as Atlantis, which may dramatically vanish during play, taking all occupying forces with it.

Risk Godstorm is played over a series of structured rounds known as Epochs. Instead of winning by total conquest, players earn Victory Points for controlling territories, completing regions, holding key locations in the Underworld, and possessing powerful relics tied to specific areas of the map. This creates multiple strategic paths to victory beyond pure military strength.

A defining feature of the game is the Underworld. Defeated units are not always lost forever, as they may descend into the Underworld and continue fighting. Some can even earn the chance to return to the surface, adding a unique second layer of strategy and long term planning.

For added flexibility, Risk Godstorm also includes rules that allow players to experience classic Risk using the Godstorm map, offering a fresh alternative to the traditional world layout while keeping the core gameplay intact.
