When I first heard this news, it took some explaining to do, but watching the 30-minute cutscene got me more confused at what was happening. Apperently, Risk and Metal Gear Solid are fusing together to make Risk: Metal Gear Solid, where you play as one of 5 Private Military companies trying to take over the world using the Risk 2008 rules.
The game board consists of the standard six zones and 42 territories, along with an Outer Haven battleship addition. There are also 275 custom plastic pieces representing the five PMCs, neutral armies and cities; 8 Boss Cards, 40 Drebin’s Cards, 42 Territory Cards and 8 Rewards that can be earned.
The board game will be available exclusively through USAopoly.com, beginning “presale” on October 3, for $50. No official launch date has been given. In the meantime, you can always play Risk: Halo Wars.
