Turn-based strategy

A RISK alternative when you want the table pressure without a world map.

RISK creates long arcs of territory control, alliances, and runaway threats. Plundrix keeps the pleasure of identifying the leader and choosing when to attack, but resolves it inside a focused five-lock race designed for shorter sessions.
