Risky World Improved!

Risky World has been upgraded!!

In the original version of Risky World you were only able to play Risk (e.g. paint the countries different colors and swing your mouse over the countries in order to see what their names are). In the upgraded version there are three new ways to play around with the countries of the world!

But of course the main way to play is to simply play Risk with this game. And Risky World is still a great tool just for this!









The new options are primarily designed to help you learn your countries. I added these versions in order to help my students learn the Spanish-speaking countries of the world!



In the first new version, the game names a country and you need to click on that country.









In the next version, the game highlights a country for you, and you need to select the name of the country from a provided list of options.








And finally, in the last version the game highlights a country for you and you need to type in the name of the country.








And of course, as you can see in these screenshots, in all versions of the game you are still able to limit which countries you will be playing with. You can limit the countries by what continent they're on, their population, their area, what language they speak, and their minimum GDP per capita!

Have fun learning your countries!
