You need to try the RISK Legacy, best few weeks of board gaming I've had with my friends.

It's really good. Don't pay $70 though.
Risk Legacy. It's amazing. It's very similar to normal risk except each game builds on to the next one. Decide to nuke a city in game 3? Holy crap that same city is super important to your army in game 7. Best to play with the same people every time. I really want to get a group together to play it once a week till it's done. Amazing concept.
So I don't know if this counts as British culture, but my two British friends and I and another American friend played this game all the time when we were at school. Its such a fun game and I certainly miss playing with them.
Also, have ALWAYS wanted to see a soccer (football!) game in Europe but have not had the chance yet.

> is it worth $70?
Nah. If you can snag it for ~40 I'd say sure.
Cute little game, some interesting twists and turns... just be sure everyone is mindful of how quickly one player can become the runaway leader and you'll have a lot of fun. :)
Go check out Risk Legacy, we got two games of it in the course of 3 hours, with a large chunk of the first game being setup.
The board and the races played change permanently, everytime the game is played. Options during and after the game allow for permanent -1 or +1 to the highest roll in a territory, permanent cities to be founded, the winner gets the ability to name any unnamed continent, among other things.
There are additions to the game that are applied when the something specific happens in a game, which could be anything from extra race perks to new rules being added (there are blank spots in the rule book and stickers that will go over those spots when they are unlocked). Ex:
Risk Legacy
Edit: since I completely missed the point of the thread, the way you make that happen is to ally with some of the other players to wipe said player from a different section of the map. Either that or make it a house rule.
Hey! I think this is the cheapest on my list, I had other things that were cheaper but they increased in price :( I'm not even sure what I'd do with rosemary, I don't usually use it in my cooking lol.
I'm not going to lie, I think what I want the MOST on my list is this! I'm a sucker for board games, and Risk has always been a favorite of mine. I love boardgames because you actually get to interact face to face with your friends and it reminds me of a time long long ago where people spent time talking and hanging out with friends instead of playing games, watching tv, or updating facebook statuses on their phone while talking to you. I have a group of friends that gets together once a week and we either go do trivia, board games, or just hang out and I think we'd love to play this sometime.
This one is interesting because it has different rules, and the board changes between games. It's unique in the sense that decisions from previous games influence the next game and some things are permanent. From what I understand, to play it you need the same group of people each game and the board is only good for one play through as you need to either cut out or rearrange the board. Also there are some ominous envelopes that have to remain sealed until the instructions tell you to open them. I just don't know why board games are so expensive :(
OK rambling over!
Don't think I forgot that you are the spicy lover! Might I suggest adding this to your wishlist? It's super tasty and used in almost any Korean spicy recipe. Or add this one as it's only $7 more and has 6x the quantity :)
Anyway, thanks for the contest Aveline!
Don't waste your time on that, if you've got the time and cash for that you should try out Twilight Imperium, which usually takes around 12 hours.

There's also Eclipse, which is a much better space civilization game.

(Amusingly, I find the actual Civilization board game adaptation to be quite mediocre. It's rather faithful to a few of the mechanics, though.)
(Below is a rough recollection of the new rules.)
And even if you want to play stupid Risk, buy the Legacy version - it fixes the rules so that winning involves completing three objectives.
The game has five factions, if I recall correctly?
At the end of each game, the winning factions gets to permanently name a faction, granting them a permanent boost in future games. The losers get to name cities on the board.
Additionally, after certain conditions are met (i.e., use too many nuclear missiles) there are sealed compartments in the box that are to be opened (and others, destroyed permanently) that permanently add new rules to the game, stickers to be placed inside the rulebook outlining the mechanical consequences of your actions.

The creator of the, "Legacy", series is making a spiritual successor soon.
I absolutely hate how boring the civilian's perception of board game are, (largely thanks to Hasbro, although they did create some of the originals) when
there's a massive, massive largely unknown world of modern board gaming that is just so much fun to participate in.
The website ShutUpandSitDown contains quite a few reviews and videos of this largely ignored space.
You need to play Risk Legacy.
Long story short (but I'm sure I'll ramble) is that this is a board game with spoilers and achievements. It is easily the best board game purchase I've made, and you can see the types of games I play by looking at my wishlist (I also own Puerto Rico, Settlers, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride, Twilight Striggle, etc). Make sure you read a NON-SPOILER review if you decide to research.
If you love Risk, or even only kinda like Risk, get this game. The most important thing to note is that games are definitely shorter than regular Rish, as there are different win conditions.
It has an ever changing board. During each game and after each game, the board permanently changes. The winner signs the board with a permanenet marker and gets a permanent buff for himself in future games. Stickers are placed on the board buffing and debuffing territories permanently. You will throw components away. There are 5 factions, each with their own special abilities.
And there are packets. These are your achievements. One says "Do not open until someone has signed the board for the second time." So once someone wins their second game, you open that packet. There are new rules, new stickers, new components, etc. in these packets.
Sometimes things are very unexpected. Sometimes things are terrible. It is an amazing experience.

Thanks for the contest! If I happen to win, I'd like the Les Mis movie off the "Wife Things" list.
It's so good. Risk Legacy has a place on the back of the board where players must sign that they claim responsibility for what they're about to do to the world.

Occasionally they have actual deals. Also for smaller orders it can make senses when you factor in shipping costs and delivery times.
For example you could get Risk Legacy or Galaxy Trucker right now for less than most other retailers or Sushi Go for a couple bucks more than Greatboardgames but free two day shipping w/ Prime.
It's currently on sale for $51 at Amazon, which isn't much cheaper, but there ya go.
Risk Godstorm is pretty awesome looking. It's played on an ancient-ish map of the world, and includes Atlantis and the Underworld has continents. It has a few different game play elements too.
My husband really enjoyed Risk Legacy, but that sort of necessitates you play with a set group of people. It mostly plays similarly to regular Risk but incorporates different rules that carry from game to came - you open envelopes that contain new rules, or strike old ones, in different replays or after certain things happen in a game. Choices made the first time you play make gameplay different in subsequent games.
