About the game

What you do in a play session

Risk: Metal Gear Solid adds an exciting twist to the classic Risk game by incorporating the universe of the famous Metal Gear Solid video game series. In this version, private military companies replace traditional armies, and the map includes the mobile territory of Outer Haven, which can be used to launch surprise attacks. Players can hire legendary characters like Solid Snake, Raiden, and Liquid Ocelot, each with unique special abilities. Additionally, Drebin cards offer tactical advantages, and controlling Metal Gear Rex even allows for nuclear strikes. The goal remains the same: to dominate the world map, but now with deeper strategies and thematic elements that will please both Risk and Metal Gear Solid fans.
