About


I am Dennis Gern, a board game enthusiast and collector for 30 years.  I started playing Risk when I was in college with some of my dorm mates and have been hooked since.  I own most of the variations and editions up until the last few years.  I started playing Risk online a few years ago and have since been hooked.  The rule variation and competition available is a great way to experiment and extend the experience.

I started PlayRiskOnline.net in order to catalog and review all the different Risk playing sites that seemed to be popping up all the time.  My hope is that players do not have to waste their time with inferior sites and that site owners can use the ratings to improve their sites.

I plan to review every Risk playing site I come across and periodically re-review these sites to see if there is improvement.  If you would like a re-review, just let me know.

You can contact me at Risk@PlayRiskOnline.net

    Hello. I am a fellow Risk game enthusiast and I am playing online everyday. Most online browser Risk games are really bad, but there are some that makes life a little more fun. Conquerclub.com is my 2nd choice, strategygamenetwork.com is my 3rd choice, dont have a 4th because they all suck, but the reason im writting you is because you dont seem to have my 1st choice on your list. Generalsgambit.com is no1, mostly because you can use the mouse to put men, attack, fortify etc. No more scroll down menu boxes if you know what i mean. I hope you will include generalsgambit.com in your list, because we need more players there and it could use the exposure so other Risk fans can find their way to this easy to use fully mouse controlled ADD FREE Risk browser online game. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Just to let you know that I had a quick look at the fellowship of luca website, and they have a second map, africa, so some development since your review.

    Cheers!

Play Risk Online: Top 10

7.3

Conquerclub.com

The largest community out there, this slumbering giant is fun to play but could use a little developer attention.
5.7

Warlight.net

Relatively new, this site brings a fresh interface and some interesting features. Some more users and goods maps are needed.
5.5

LandGrab.net

Packed to the gills with features, LandGrab.net can be entertaining if you can deal with the bloat and clumsy interface.
5.4

ATTACK! (Facebook)

Fast and easy, ATTACK! is great for a 20 minute game of Risk, and not much else.
5.1

WarGear.net

An attractive looking site but lacks features and a community.
4.7

Grand Strategy

Lots of potential and innovation, but the tumbleweeds make it a lonely place to game.
3.6

Stra.tegery

Decent interface, but a bit too commercial and lacking in flavor.
3.4

StrategyGameNetwork.com

A small community and some decent maps are weakened by a ton of ads and banners.
2.7

FellowshipOfLuca.com

A failed mix of Risk and new age philosophy with a cult mindset.
1.1

RiskAttack.com

A hideous site loaded with spam and ads. No features, no community.

Risk Game Is the most classic strategy board game of all time. If you are looking to play Risk online, you are in the right place. Millions of fans can remember heated diplomacy and rolling dice into the early morning. But sometimes that's not possible, so playing online can really take the Risk experience to the next level.

I have been playing the board game for 30 years but wanted something more. Also I couldn't gather my friends around the table every week, so I needed some online players. If you type in "play risk online" into any search engine you are presented with tons of options. But joining a community and figuring out a site's interface can be time consuming process.

So I am here to simplify it for you.

I have joined every variant of Risk clone out there, looking for the best experience, the best community and the most fun.

The quality of the Risk clones out there ranges from good to terrible, so I have rated 5 important aspects of all these sites and compiled them into one meta score.

Take a look and see which Risk site would be best for you.
