In Risk: Shadow Forces, the world is on the brink of chaos, and it's up to you to navigate the shadows and emerge victorious. This legacy-style game is designed for 3 to 5 players and promises a unique experience with every playthrough. As you embark on a series of campaign missions, you'll be shaping the world's history, cities, and factions, with each game building upon the last. With a normal level of complexity, this game is perfect for those familiar with board games, and its variable player powers and negotiation mechanics add a thrilling layer of strategy. As you play, you'll be unlocking new rules, events, and challenges, using cards, stickers, and even sealed envelopes and containers to guide the story. The game's modern warfare and wargame elements come to life through covert missions, where warlords lead squads in skirmishes that impact the world map. With no two games ever being the same, Risk: Shadow Forces offers a fresh and exciting experience every time you play. Designed by Craig Van Ness and published in 2022, this base game is the perfect starting point for your journey into the world of shadow forces, where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
