The game Risk teaches strategy

Risk is a game where you use strategy to take over all seven continents.

In the game, you start off with cards that have countries on them. The countries that are on the cards are where you place your soldiers.

Risk teaches you the countries and continents. This game is great to play to learn history because it teaches players their countries and continents and is fun at the same time.

Freshman Allison Skinner likes how there is always a possibility to win even when you’re losing.

“I like how when you think you’re losing, you always have a chance to change that, like when you turn your cards in for more armies and attack someone with less armies,” Skinner said.
