I have been wanting to buy the board game 'Risk" for some time. Does anybody know where they sell it, here in Korea?

We discussed it on this thread a few months ago.

The Book And Dice site seems to have it, but I am not sure if it is in English or not.

I picked up a sweet "Vintage" edition of Risk when I was in the US last winter. I know that doesn't help you at all, but I felt the need to share.

Is there a "Toys R Us" store in Korea? I never saw one. I believe they tend to carry "Risk"

I know nothing beats the board-flipping and suspicious arguments involved in a real game of RISK, but the version they've got on Facebook is sweet. It's called 'Attack', and you can play live against random folks, or set up turn-based games with mates. UKRAINE IS WEAK?!

Alright boys, I've got a RISK board and the afternoon off tomorrow. Anyone up for an outdoor game in Migeum (Bundang) tomorrow?

Ugh, I can't play that game.

Once when my brother and I were little, we were sick and missed a day of school. We decided to spend the time playing Risk. After maybe two or three hours, I was close to conquering the world. I think that I just had Siam left. (It was my dad's old version.) My brother decided right then and there to quit. He got bored, and he also didn't want me to have the satisfaction, I guess.

Years later in college, my hippy neighbor wanted to know if my roommate, Tim, and I wanted to play Risk. I said that I wasn't interested. So Tim, the hippy and someone else played.

I check up on them three hours later, and Tim looks bored out of his mind. He clearly loosing the game, but he had to keep playing just so Rick (the hippy guy) could finish conquering the world.

Oh, where can you get Risk? Beats the hell out of me.
