I'm a Risk fan, but don't get many opportunities to play. I find this version to be a fun and fascinating variation. It integrates very well with the movie theme and provides a dramatic twist where one side gets to automatically take random territories at a certain point in the game. ( It's order 66 if you remember that from SW Episode III. )The rules are pretty well laid out and easy to understand if you already know the risk rules. All the new rules are all in blue so you can skim quickly through them. If you aren't familiar with Risk, I recommend skipping all the blue rules to play a classic game first. Just keep in mind that it will be more fun with all the rules.Some new variations from the original include:1.Cards with special thematic actions you can take for an advantage2. Powerful Anakin cards which become useless to the republic player after Order 66.3. The ability to turn in collected cards for space ships that lend bonuses to your rolls (for instance, roll an 8-sided die rather than a 6 or re-roll any ones.)4. Special thematic characters that the Republic can catch (and the separatists have to hide) to earn bonus cards.5. The dramatic Order 66 dynamic which gives the Seperatists a chance to convert territories (and armies) to their side. The longer they can hold out against the card advantage of the Republic the more damage they can do.6. A two player game is actually fun unlike most other Risk variations.The low point of Star Wars Risk: Clone Wars is the ugly, ugly board. You might expect something gorgeous since it's based on such a visually oriented movie franchise, but the board is definitely function over form. At least it doesn't get in the way of the game play.I highly recommend this game to Risk fans as a more dramatic and shorter variation. After playing a few times and when everyone gets the rules, you might even get in a game in under 3 hours. That's very short for Risk.For those who compare variations, I find the theme and artistry of the Lord of the Rings variation to be far superior and it introduced some of the game play ideas that this game use. However, I find Star Wars Risk: Clone Wars to be much more fun overall.I've heard that the more complicated "hardcore" variations of Risk like Godstorm and 2210 A.D. are better games, but I haven't played those.Later this year (2006), there is supposed to be a Risk game based on the Original Trilogy of Star Wars movies. I'm very much looking forward to that.

Bought this for my son (5 years old) who is a mad Starwars fan. I have never played the original Risk, but this one is a lot of fun and ties in with the films really well. We had to play the game twice before my son and I fully understood the rules.Excellent for his maths as i make him work out the scores, troop numbers etc.Only gripe is the length of the games, normally it takes about 4 hours to complete a game. Still better he spends 4 hours on this than his XBox or PSP.
