Description
WORK IN PROGRESS - EARLY PLAYTESTING
---
The Classic Game of Global Domination meets Mobile Suit Gundam!

Go toe-to-toe in up to a 3vs3 war by fighting for spacenoid independence with the Principality of Zeon, or earth sphere unification with the Earth Federation. Choose your side, collect your pilots and mobile suits, and do battle on Earth and in space to determine the fate of humanity!

Take caution when eliminating other players... heed the rumors of Newtypes.

Supported Players - 2-6, best with 4 or 6
Complexity - Moderate to Difficult
Playtime - Long, 2+ Hours
Best played with prior knowledge of RISK and its rules.

This is my first ever board game made entirely within Google Drive using images from google and my own Google Drawings. I am a mediocre writer, artist, and completely clueless game designer, but I have enjoyed the mental exercise of mashing Risk with one of my favorite franchises. This is the first edition that has yet to be fully play-tested. I hope you find the rules not too wordy or confusing- and the Magic: The Gathering-inspired gameplay to be worth some (very) casual fun with a couple of friends and-or Gundam fans.

Feel free to comment your thoughts, critiques, and questions! This game is in an early stage of design and any feedback is good feedback.

I do not claim ownership of any of the images used within this game. All images are owned by Sunrise/Bandai-Namco. Mobile Suit Gundam was created by Yoshiyuki Tomino. RISK is a property of Hasbro.

If anyone has any ideas or recommendations please feel free to share, I am not a game designer by any means, just a guy who's a big fan of Gundam and boars games, and wanted to see what I could do to mash the two.

This is very much just a workable prototype/proof of concept at the moment.

@Dagger We haven't had much time to continue playtesting, I've been doing a lot of traveling and haven't much time to rework it, but after playtesting with my group several times we noticed some glaring issues and poor wording, so I'm moving towards simplifying the game in general.

Wish I could give a timeline, but for now the rework is mainly fixing rule wording and loopholes and new ideas kicking around.

I don't care if I am the only one commenting on this item. I simply have to because of the principle of the thing. You are making a Risk game based on one of my favorite franchises, I simply have to. Hoping to get a group together for a play test but, I don't know if I can get 5 other Gundam fans together for this.

Thank you for the kind words! I feel the game currently is a mess of many ideas that may over-complicate RISK's simplicity or be overly complex themselves. Although the goal was to make Risk a more tactically complex game, my focus was to try and do so while making the mechanics fit logically and thematically with Gundam- all while keeping the game approachable.

I am beyond honored by your warm reception to this early design! Expect it to continue to change slowly, it's been difficult to find time to fully vet all the concepts and play-test.

There is a lot of brilliance in this game; mobile suits as unique powers, defeated players coming back as newtypes, unique missions for each faction, I also love the idea of using Risk cards as a stand in for research. I only hope that my Gundam game turns out half as good as yours did.
