Factions, the digital reinvention of Hasbro's globally popular strategy game.
Release Date: Mar 8, 2011
We've been wanting Risk on Xbox Live Arcade for a while, and this summer Electronic Arts will finally deliver. EA wanted to do more than just digitize the classic board game, though. Sure, Risk has a lot of fans out there, but as any fan knows games can drag on for quite a while. It might not always make for the best XBLA experience. For Risk: Factions, EA borrowed some of the streamlined rules from Hasbro's 2008 update and added some story and humor to the game.
The 2008 rules are more objective based and make the game go by faster. To win, players must meet three objectives. In a two person game there will be five possible goals, but as you add players more objectives become available. Examples include controlling four barracks, controlling three connected cities, or taking control of seven territories in one turn. You start each game by placing your capital, and even if you've achieved three objectives you can't win if you've lost control of that
