In 2008 the classic Risk board game was released with a revised rule set, which among other changes made the game more goal-oriented and significantly shorter to play. Risk Halo Wars is clearly based on that same revised rule set while adding in its own flavor. That’s right; this is not a simple word-for-word reprint of the revised rules as some have speculated it would be.

MIDDLE-EARTH QUEST kind of came out of nowhere. When it was announced last year around the time that the WORLD OF WARCRAFT ADVENTURE BOARD GAME came out, I was already well into railing against boring, repetitive adventure games and the thought of yet another Tolkien-themed game wasn't exactly something I was anticipating with excitement.

So it’s been a while since two things have happened: One, that I’ve been able to play a lot of one game and two, that it’s been a game I felt passionate about. So these two things finally came together giving me the confidence to splash out some of my thoughts on what I find to be an amazing game for introducing to folks who haven’t tried many games.
