Terran is the human race with guns and flying buildings, the Protoss are the super-intelligent alien race with psionics and warp-in technology, and the Zerg are the insect-like race like in Alien and Starship Troopers that multiply like bacteria and overwhelm enemies with numbers. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, which should be well known Risk StarCraft fans. Like in the computer game, you can choose one of 3 races - Terran, Protoss, and Zerg. Multiple play modes aren’t very common in board games, so this one does win out in terms of innovation and variety. Risk: StarCraft is playable for 2-6 players and has three different play modes, so you can choose who you and your friends want to play it. It was released on October 10, 2012, and makes use of both the classic StarCraft and the newer StarCraft II settings, which had already been out for two years prior to the board game’s release.Īdapting the computer strategy game Risk StarCraft into a board game may seem novel, but mashing it up with Risk seems like an interesting concept. Risk has had many other variations and adaptations over the years, and this one is produced by USAopoly to combine the lore of Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft universe with the tabletop strategy gameplay of Risk. That’s exactly what Risk StarCraft is, an adaptation of a famous computer game franchise into a known board game franchise. However, it’s not often we see a combination of one from each in a single package.
