Does anyone know if that board game is similar to Risk?

I remember playing Risk for hours and hours with me mates, so I'm just wondering if it's anything like Catan.

Thanks for answeres.

Like Risk? Errr... there are comparisons.
Imagine if Risk had no set world map, and instead you played tiles each turn that built the map as the game progressed. And instead of large armies, you're more worried about improving conditions for a very few units ("Settlers").

And that's be a very rough conception of Catan.

Bill Nye6971d ago

Catan is all about controlling the resources and blocking your competitors from them.

I'm really looking forward to this game because I'm quite fond of the board game.

Sphinx6971d ago

Sweet! I'm psyched for this more than any other Arcade title in some time.

JasonXE6971d ago (Edited 6971d ago )

I do wish that'll someone will come up with the idea of putting monopoly, chess or the game of life on xbla. I think this will be against the rules though because it's has not to do with the arcade. Still I would love to play it just for the fun factor :-D :-D.

THAMMER16971d ago

My wife and I were talking about the same thing. Monopoly, Life or Crash'n the boys street challenge would be awesome.

consolewar6971d ago

probably an american classic, but no in the same league as Catan.
The rank Catan has is 36 or something like that, where? www.boardgamegeeks.com .....the best boardgame site in the whole world.
The rank of Monopoly is like what, +350?
Hundreds of opinions, plays and testing from casual and hardcore gamers back this ranks up.

Can you guys imagine Puerto Rico on XboxLive?

Sean142336971d ago

Me too, that game is one I have been waiting for.

BIadestarX6971d ago

I think microsoft is stepping up when it comes to releasing xbox live arcade titles. 2-3 titles a week is more than I can wish for.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy40d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels.

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
