Risk: The Walking Dead



Are you willing to take a risk?  I'm not talking about a financial gamble, a real estate deal, a Stock Market opportunity or even gambling on the races.  I'm talking about the game Risk-only this version has a lot more at stack than geographic conquest.

It's literally a game of life and death.  You win-you stay alive and safe from the zombie hoards.
You loose-well, it won't be pleasant.

Hasbro, Diamond, USAopoly and Skybound present the latest adaptation of the famous Risk game: Risk: The Walking Dead Survival Edition.

Structured like Risk, The Walking Dead version is unique, and deadly, in its own right.

Players take on the role of leaders of groups of survivors.  It is up to you as a leader to get your people to safety.  But, there are other groups just as determined to survive.  With only so much zombie-free survival supplies and locations available things can get nasty.

Four groups make up the set: Governor's, Green Family, Rick's and Prisoner.  Each will do whatever it takes to survive, including sacrificing other groups.  As their leader you are responsible for their fate: good or bad.

Survival depends on your influence, the population of your group and whatever resources you can muster together. Beware the Walker Horde.

Prepare yourself for the tide of the undead that is sure to come.  Will you be the group that will survive-it's up to you.  Win or die!

Contents of the game include Survivor Pieces, Walker Pieces, a custom Walking Dead Game Board, Event, Territory and Group Cards, Guard Tower, Grenade, Ammo Crate and Outbreak Tracker Chips, Black Defense and Red Attack Dice and a Survival Manual.
