Lux Touch 3 - World Domination

I use to play this on the old original Mac. I remember when it was hard to figure out why the computer did what it did, but now I obviously figured it mostly out, and it is still fun. Even though I win nearly every time, it is still fun. In fact, I try to trap all of the AI’s into Africa in such a way that nobody attacks anyone (black must divide two other AI’s and have more armies then them, but not so much that it will attack itself) and it goes forever in an AI stalemate. I realize the paid version has different AI’s and is harder. Oh well. Still fun.

Almost a great game but has two fatal flaws. First one most likely notice is that the computer players always follow the exact same strategy. Yellow will always be yellow and same with each color. I can get over this but most people likely couldn’t. Second is harder to notice and easy for most to either forgive or just doubt - but the dice rolls are not always random. I’ve played the game a ton off and on through past few years and many dice rolls are just absolutely fixed. I just can’t forgive this one and it is why I wouldn’t even pay a dime for the deluxe version of the game. I really try not to leave negative reviews but this game could be so great yet fails miserably. Shame that Hasbro killed a great version to replace it with one too cartoonish for me. Plus it really pushes the pay us money angle too hard. I just want a Risk type game with this UI and price that’s fair, fixed dice rolls just tempts me to throw my iPad.

Love this game! Have been playing it for like 8 years now! I would really like to see a three player version for free though. It wouldn't need anything fancy. Just Super basic! There's no way I can justify spending money on a game. No matter how good it is. As it is, my sisters and I all play separate games against each other. Just imagine if all the devices were synced, and we could see the board with each other on it each on our own device. That would be awesome!

Not a good game. The computer program is rigged to let you win. Yellow is a chaos character where it goes for broke every turn, very easy to take out. Black sometimes goes hog wild but most it just stays and builds in one country. Red will always distribute armies equally across all occupied countries and will only take one country at a time until a given point and then goes chaotic. Green will casually build upon and will only take one country at a time and will never attack you until a certain point in the game, which is 99 percent of the when you have a turn in the next turn. If you know all of the above you can win the game every time. This game (the free version) doesn't at all give you the real skills necessary for the true game of Risk.

While sometime frustrating, this game had been a mainstay on my devices for years. Takes only a few minutes to play, but you can play for hours. It's basically the game of risk. Each color has their own play style and you get to know how each will react to how you leave the board. Yellow is my nemesis. I can't understand why sometimes the random win/loss is so 'against the odds', but I will say that it works both ways.
