'''Risk''' is a strategic board game produced by [[wikipedia:Hasbro|Hasbro]]. The objective of the game is "world domination," or "to occupy every territory on the board and in so doing, eliminate all other players." Players control armies with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Two ''Halo''-themed Risk games have been produced, one based on ''[[Halo Wars]]'' and one on ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''.
