The classic game of Risk comes to Facebook with a twist. Command armies of humans, zombies, and even cats as you conquer different maps and challenge your friends to war in Risk: Factions. Build up your armies and plan your strategy and take over the world one map at a time. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.
Much like Monopoly Millionaires, Risk: Factions is an attempt to take a well-known board game and make it fit on Facebook. But unlike Monopoly Millionaires -- which turned the game into a more single-player experience -- Risk: Factions retains its multi-player focus, letting you engage asynchronous battles for world domination with friends. For the most part it works quite well, offering accessible and (once you get the hang of it) fun gameplay. But it's also a bit too bogged down in typical social game requirements that limit progress.
After the success of Monopoly Millionaires, EA and Playfish are now bringing another popular board game to Facebook, this time in the form of Risk: Factions. We haven't seen the game in action yet, but it looks like it will be much less serious than the board game, with gangly zombies and donkeys pulling cannons. And we've got the teaser trailer to prove it.
