   The condition was reported as good. The box is in very rough shape and the board is torn in half. The game is missing all of the cards that are needed to play the game.

   Super fun for hardcore strategists.

   Love It – Can’t Wait To Play Again! This was a gift for my brother this past Christmas. We have enjoyed the game. We use to play Lord of the Rings version, but I don’t think we will ever skip over the Godstorm to play the LOTR version anytime soon. (I guess it goes to the closet for dust collection.) We don’t use the Epoch part of it, instead we play until no one has any armies left. It takes longer, but we enjoy dominating the board. If you are a Risk fan or you know someone that is – this game is worth the money. I wish they had an electronic version so that I could play against the computer and polish my skills.

   No comment regarding the product delivery: as always great professionalism by boardgamesweekly.com!
   Regarding the game, folliwing you can find the negative points (in my opinion):
   – the box is too small compared to what it contains;
   – even if the game lasts only 5 rounds, it is very long to play (an average of 3 hours).

   Je suis très satisfait de ce jeux pour les règles de jeux qu’il propose. Mon seul regret sont les figurines… Chaque civilisation à les même figurines… Je trouve ça vraiment décevant… J’ai voulu mettre 3 étoiles juste pour ça mais comme j’aime bien le jeu, j’ai laissé 4. je le recommande quand même !

   Risk Godstorm is one of the awesome games from Avalon Hill. The pieces are very detailed, and the game-play is a bit different from classic Risk but the new inclusions are indeed worth it! The use of the underworld, miracle cards, temples,plagues, faith, and gods indeed brings huge twists in the game, and use of such things can easily sway the balance of power in the game from one player to another. Also, the fact that the rules even encourage table-talk, alliances, coercion, back-stabbing, threats, etc. makes the game all the more fun (and besides your going to do it anyway!). Even though this game is typically more than classic Risk, it certainly is worth the money, and its a good edition of the game to play with friends who enjoy such games! The only thing I’d say is they should have made a better holder for the game pieces than a cardboard holder that you put together yourself.

   This is a game that has the potential to be really wonderful, but the rulebook is so badly written that the game verges on unplayable. Be prepared to Google rules clarifications and take votes frequently at the table regarding how to interpret the rules. Extremely frustrating, even when playing with people who get along well. In a very competitive environment, this thing will ruin your game night.

   My game set had two Greek gods of war, and no goddess of magic, but I have written to Avalon Hill, and I expect they’ll ship out the correct piece soon. We just put a sticker on top of the second god of war to “make” him the goddess of magic, and we played. Only a mild irritation.

   This is a great game!!! Its kinda like Risk but there’s a lot more involved, you really have to think with this one, or any second you could lose. Love it!! Hours of fun with my husband 🙂

   Given as a gift, recipient seemed very happy with it. Played it a number of times over and over. Once it was set up the family found it easy to play.

    this game has everything and more that a risk game should provide. the integration of the God system makes the game much more involved than classic risk. these Gods add complexity to the battling system as well as adding modifiers to perks and soldiers. the Gods use cards that correspond to their respective strategies which cost faith, which is the currency used in the game. for those who do not like using the underworld, my friends and i completely cut that out of the game. there is really no point to the underworld, and the few god cards that use the underworld we rewrote.

    I am a borderline fanatical Risk player. I own all editions of Risk, including 2010 and classic. This game is incredibly enjoyable. The addition of the underworld is a pleasant surprise. Now you can take those dead armies and make something happen with them! Battling for control of the underworld is a fun new feature. And the new world board is also set up well. With the plagues, you can potentially have entire routes effectively cut off, so each time you play it is different. If you are the type of person who likes to set up an intense, involved game, and battle your friends for hours (and I mean HOURS) then Risk Godstorm is for you.

    I rated it a 5 stars for educational value, because you can learn the Mythology of the various civilizations as you play. Sure, it’s not as educational as reading a book, but can you get that from playing checkers? Buy this game and invite me over.
