About the game
RisiKo! Antarctica is the first edition of RisiKo!, the best known strategy game in Italy, which includes two games in one! In this version the dashboard is printed on the front and back to offer two different gaming experiences. Two-player mode: on one side the dashboard depicts Antarctica divided into 16 territories. A real head to head for the conquest of Antarctica! The battle scenario moves to the new continent with new territories and new objectives! All the adrenaline of the best known strategy game, in a single edition! On the other side of the bridge, the continent of Antarctica, divided into two territories, East Antarctica and West Antarctica, serves as an expansion of the original game. If added as the seventh continent to the southern part of the hemisphere depicted on the classic RisiKo! board, transforms the entire world conquest scenario, acting as a bridge between territories and continents so far light years away. Having to conquer 24 territories will no longer be an impossible goal. —description from the publisher (translated) RisiKo! Antartide è la prima edizione di RisiKo!, il gioco di strategia più conosciuto in Italia, che include due giochi in uno! In questa versione la plancia è stampata fronte e retro per offrire due esperienze di gioco diverse. Modalità a due giocatori: da un lato la plancia raffigura l’Antartide suddivisa in 16 territori. Un vero e proprio testa a testa per la conquista dell’Antartide! Lo scenario di battaglia si sposta sul nuovo continente con nuovi territori e nuovi obiettivi! Tutta l’adrenalinia del gioco di strategia più conosciuto, in una edizione unica! Sull’altro lato della plancia il continente dell’Antartide, diviso in due territori, l’Antartide Orientale e l’Antartide Occidentale, funge da espansione del gioco originale. Se aggiunta come settimo continente alla parte sud dell’emisfero raffigurato sulla plancia di RisiKo! classico, trasforma l’intero scenario di conquista del mondo, fungendo da ponte tra territori e continenti fino ad ora lontani anni luce. Devi conquistare 24 territori non sarà più un’obiettivo impossbile. —description from the publisher
