Is this better than the original Risk?

It looks better, and the pieces will get you super high if you sniff them right out of the box!

How is this different from the Game of Thrones board game?

The second edition of the board game is a nice game, full of different dynamics. It is excellent, but it may take quite a long time to finish a game and it is fairly complex and thereby a bit daunting for the casual gamer. The board game uses beautiful cards with drawings. The drawings and events make it more book-oriented. The board game features the Wildlings, but the Daenerys and her allies are not a playable house in the original game. Lastly, the event cards add a random element. GoT: Risk is simpler than the board game. It has fewer different types of dynamic (it is first and foremost centered on conquest), but it is more volatile than the board game. You don't have ships like in the board game, but you have ports that allow you to travel easily across the board (e.g. reminiscing Stannis showing up at the Wall...). You have a simple Skirmish mode of the game (essentially fairly old school Risk) and a slightly more complex (but still easy) Dominion mode. I recommend the Dominion mode as it allows you to use Action/Maester cards and characters with special abilities unique to your house. Even the Dominion mode is fairly easy to understand and the overview cardboards are very handy. All in all, this means GoT:Risk is easier to learn and it is easier to find other players to play with (the game takes a 10 to 15 minutes explanation). It is more for the casual gamer who loves GoT. This still has the epic sweep of the show though, because each house gets a seat of power that you have to defend (e.g. Winterfell for the Starks), the maps are beautifully designed and you have the character and Maester cards. The character cards show pictures of e.g. John Snow (not drawings), which makes GoT:Risk more Show oriented.The game involves throwing dice, but their are plenty of modifiers that allow you to make strong hosts of armies (which fits thematically with the show). The game is shorter than the board game and features no Wildlings, but you can play as Dany and there is also a map of Essos to play with. Both are good games. The board game is more complex, book oriented and more for the hardcore boardgame player. The Risk version is easier, more show oriented and for casual and hardcore gamers.

Llegó completo, perfectas condiciones y el juego es un poco largo al principio de explicar, diferente al risk original pero después de entenderle es una joya, obra maestra 10/10 recomendado

I was very pleased with this product. The game boards and accessories are high quality and look amazing, definitely an improvement from what I remember of Risk when I was a kid, and the fact that it is GoT related just makes it more fun to play, especially if you have a group of friends who are also into the show/books as well. Of course you can play it with those not familiar with GoT, but it just gives it that extra boost of fun if you are; getting into the "spirit" of the House you are controlling, etc. just makes for a lot of good times and laughs and fandom-related humour. I've played the Westeros board with a group of friends a couple times now (and we are all huge GoT fans) and tomorrow I'm going to try the 2-player Essos board with a friend of mine so I'll get to see how that game differs from the 3-5 player Westeros side. I'm happy there is a 2-player version as well for when all your friends can't always get together at the same time. The price is steep, I'll admit, but well worth it for any big GoT fans who are looking for a fun game night idea, you will not be disappointed. And like I said, you are getting quality, not some cheaply made tacky dime store shelf product. It may be twice the price you'd spend on the original Risk, but I promise you GoT fans, it's 10 times the fun. Glad I purchased this!

Perfecto, tal y como indica la descripción. Es un poco caro, pero vale la pena si eres fan de Juego de Tronos. Muy completo

Scatola meravigliosa. I soli dettagli della mappa sul esterno della scatola fanno capire che si tratta di un ottimo prodotto, molto curato nei dettagli. Organizzazione interna perfetta, ogni esercito ha la sua scatolina, le carte hanno il suo posto, ecc. Si può giocare sia alla versione classica di Risiko, sia alla variante vera a propria di GOT. A seconda del numero di giocatori si gioca con solo una o entrambe le mappe. Regolamento e carte sono in Inglese, ma per i meno esperti sulla lingua questo è facilmente superabile armandosi di un buon traduttore, credo poi che con le varie partite il limite della lingua possa essere facilmente superato.
