Playing risk online - the best links

A group for a common game of risk is not always found. The solution: gamble risk online. We present three top websites and explain the special features of the respective risk variants.

Impera Online: German-language risk

"Impera Online" is one of the most comprehensive offers for playing risk online. After a no-frills registration, you have a huge community at your fingertips where risk is played.

• From a fast game with train times of one minute to an epic battle with train times of five days, everything is included.
• Impera also offers more than just the classic world map: You can wage war on a total of more than 100 maps, from the American Civil War to the Cold War in Berlin to Middle Earth.
• There are also ranked games and tournaments in case you want to play some ambitious risk. There are also different game modes, from the classic board game variant to the newer "Malibu-fog", in which all your units are initially placed on one field and you cannot see the positions of your opponents.
• In short: With Impera Online, every player will find their personal game mode.

Warlight: pull simultaneously

You can also find a flash-based version of Risk on Warlight.net. Here you are slowly introduced to all features of Warlight in a single player campaign and can then compete against other players online.

• The special thing about Warlight is that you make your moves simultaneously with the other players. This will be faster, but you will need to strategically realign yourself.

World Wars 2: minimalist risk

Those who like minimalist risk are well advised with "World Wars 2". Everything looks a little different here than with normal risk.

• You can either play in Europe or on a randomly generated map. Your troops will then be randomly distributed and you will compete against up to seven computer-controlled opponents.
• But be careful: the level of difficulty is tough. If you don't tact carefully, you will quickly lose. The motto here is slow and careful.
• Use your bonus cards often, they can give you an early advantage!
• Make sure to control as many contiguous areas as possible. So you get more units.

If you want to compete against your friends on your own computer, the freeware "Domination" is recommended. This game also has some maps and you can go to war against your computer or in hot seat mode against your friends.
