This is Hasbro's licensed version of the board game, and it plays the way you remember: build armies, hold territories, roll the dice and try to take the whole map. Beyond the standard world board there are more than 110 maps, including a WWI scenario against the Axis Powers, a zombie survival variant, and fantasy and science fiction layouts. Matches run in real time, either solo against the AI or online with other people, and you can set up games with friends. Rules can be left classic or customised to taste. Diplomacy matters as much as dice, since alliances can be formed and broken along the way. There's a ranked ladder that climbs up to Grandmaster for players who want the competitive side. Free to download.
Hasbro's licensed board game, as SMG Studio has built it for phones. The core is unchanged: raise armies, hold territories, roll dice, and try to seize the entire map. The digital version then goes far beyond the cardboard with more than 110 maps, including science fiction and fantasy boards, a zombie survival variant, and a First World War scenario in which the Axis Powers are the enemy.
Matches run in real time, solo against the AI or online, and rules can stay classic or be customised.
A game is the familiar rhythm of reinforcing, attacking and fortifying, with the dice deciding who holds the border. Online, diplomacy becomes a live factor: alliances form in the early turns and fracture when someone gets greedy, and reading that is as important as counting armies.
The ranked ladder up to Grandmaster is for people who want their wins to mean something. Private games with friends and custom rules cover the casual end.
Everyone knows the board game, and most people have a house rule they argue about, so a version with customisable rules and a hundred-plus maps is an obvious search. The ranked ladder draws the competitive crowd, and the ability to play solo against the AI serves those with no one to play with.
A clean top-down map with coloured territories and army counters is the natural rendering of the board, and the themed maps will vary the art considerably. SMG has posted five screenshots. Expect dice animations, a turn tracker and chat or alliance tools in online matches, with the interface kept legible enough to read a whole continent at once.
For a licensed board game adaptation, a hundred-thousand-plus ratings at 4.7 is a strong result. SMG STUDIO PTY LTD, an Australian developer, has clearly kept adding maps to reach the 110-plus count, and a ranked ladder requires active server operation.

House-rule arguers
Customisable rules settle the debates a physical copy never could.
Map variety seekers
A WWI scenario, zombies and science fiction boards stretch the game well past the world map.
Grandmaster climbers
The ranked ladder gives dice-and-diplomacy a competitive ceiling to aim for.
Nine-plus, with nothing to pay for the download. The listing says nothing about in-app purchases, though a 110-map catalogue in a free game suggests some are sold; verify before assuming. Online matches need a connection, while AI games may not, which isn't confirmed. Ads, account requirements, storage size and regional availability are not mentioned.
Our take
Anyone who likes the board game and wants it in their pocket should install this, with the map variety as the bonus. The online diplomacy is where it comes alive. Players who get frustrated by dice luck, or who want a faster strategy game, should skip it; this is faithful to RISK, slow turns and all.
