Retro Gaming Australia

At the San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, Konami and USAopoly revealed that they will be releasing a Metal Gear branded version of the classic board game Risk.

Now you can pretend to be Snake while being the jerk that takes Australia first!

Metal Gear Risk will be played on the standard world map, but with an extra territory named Outer Haven, which can move around the map. You will also be able to get a hold of long range tactical weapons like Metal Gear Rex, which may actually nullify that Australian advantage with its tactical nukes. There will also be special units like Snake and Rat Patrol 01 that can boost the attack power of your standard units.

Players will be assigned one of the five PMC factions from Metal Gear Solid 4 as their team. In addition to occupying territories, players will also have specific goals to accomplish. The pieces on the board will be modelled after PMC units and the Gekkos.

Sounds like fun? You’ll be able to get your copy of Metal Gear Risk this November for about $US40.
