### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-13*

Mein Lieblingsspiel, seit Jahren!

### 5/5 — Süper

*2025-08-17, version 2.2*

Süper

### 1/5 — Bad developers

*2024-12-08, version 2.2*

The developers do not understand how people play this game. A couple years ago if you lost, the game would continue to play until one of the computers colors one. This would sometimes take a few minutes and the only way to get it to stop was to quit the app and re-launch it, which was idiotic. When I complained about it, they just shrugged it off and said this is how it is. And now I see that there is no way to turn the sound off, so if I’m listening to something in the background on my phone, there is no way to do that and to play this game because the sounds of the game overwhelm any app playing in the background. It’s too bad because the game itself is good, but the implementation is miserable.

### 5/5 — Deleted a hundred times

*2024-09-25, version 2.2*

The right balance of easy to win and still some challenge such that it has occupied a place in my life of the damnably addicting.  Easily can spend an hour or 3 numbing the mind with repeated conquering.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-08-06, version 2.2*

Been playing for years and will continue

### 4/5 — Frank of DelCo

*2023-07-29, version 2.2*

This game is lots of fun. However the algorithm that governs the battle sequences is flawed, to cite just one of many absurd battle outcomes, I once lost 9 armies attacking an undefended territory and failed to annex the territory.

### 5/5 — A+

*2022-08-27*

Excellent game

### 1/5 — Stupid game

*2022-05-12, version 2.2*

I used 4 armies to attack a place but failed.

### 5/5 — Mindless Entertainment

*2022-02-16, version 2.2*

Having suffered in a chess game or bridge play Risk.

Mindless entertainment from your childhood without the dice to renew your confidence. Unless of course aggressive black, suicidal yellow, obdurate green or timid red ruin your day.

### 5/5 — Great strategy game that keeps you coming back

*2021-06-28, version 2.2*

I’ve been playing this game for years.  I’ve learned many different strategies and it’s still challenging at times.  It’s kept my interest over the years and I really enjoy coming back to it if I haven’t played it in a while.  Great “Risk-Like” strategy game.  

Kids can even learn about the different regions of the US, including topography and how it might affect a large scale battle.  

Big thanks to the developer!
