A licensed iOS app, Risk: The Official Game, developed for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad by Electronic Arts, was released on July 16, 2010. [45] Although the iPad version ( Risk HD) has to be bought separately from the iPhone version ( Risk), local link up allows games to take place across versions. A maximum of six players can participate. If only one iOS device is available, the "pass and play" mode allows several players to take part in a multi-player game. In addition to Risk clones, third-party products have been created which slightly modify traditional gameplay. Among the most popular third-party editions are virtual dice-rolling simulators. These can act as virtual replacements to traditional dice or be used to automatically simulate the results of large battles between territories—significantly speeding up gameplay.

Risk was invented by French film director Albert Lamorisse and originally released in 1957 as La Conquête du Monde ( The Conquest of the World) in France.

With the 2021 version I thought bringing some of the Risk Europe mechanics into play would be good along with more Character Abilities as well. Welcome any improvements. On January 11, 2021, it was reported that a television series adaptation of the game is in development from House of Cards creator, Beau Willimon.
