Risk: Édition Napoléon is a board game released in 1999 for 2–5 players, 120 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Albert Lamorisse, Pascal Bernard, Guillaume Gille-Naves, and Didier Jacobée and its main mechanics are Area Movement, Dice Rolling, and Area Majority / Influence.
This very special version of Risk was published by Tilsit exclusively in France, as a numbered edition of 10 000 copies. Hasbro's signature is very discreet, appearing in the copyright line as "(c) Hasbro International Inc. Under license of 3D Licensing France". In addition to standard Risk rules, advanced rules introduce fortress sieges, generals, maritime blockades, naval combat, alliances and personalities (Napoléon, Wellington, Blücher...). An historical scenario reproduces the Napoleonic campaigns with fidelity. An extension was produced that introduces the Ottoman Empire as a sixth player.
