Risk and Axis and Allies

     Both Axis and Allies and Risk have many similarities and differences here are a few of them.  They are both war based board games that are based on wars happening in our world.  The games have a lot of small game pieces.  The game boards are similar and different.    While playing these games the player will have to follow many rules that may be the same or different in both of the board games.
     Both games have LOTS of pieces.  The pieces in both games are different and similar.  In Axis and Allies the game pieces are larger than the ones in Risk.  In Risk there are only 3 types of pieces, infantry, horses, and cannons.  In Axis and Allies there are many different types of game pieces including tanks, battleships, bombers, fighters, aircraft carriers, infantry, submarines, and transports.
     The game boards in both games are different.  They are both maps of the world.  The game board for Axis and Allies is bigger than the one for Risk.  Axis and Allies has more places for the player to attack than Risk.
      When playing these games there are many different rules to follow.  At the beginning of Risk the player has to claim your territories.  At the beginning of Axis and allies the player picks world powers to be, he or she can be either Germany, Japan, Russia, the United kingdom, or the United States.  When they pick world powers you get certain territories to go with it.  In Risk the player will earn armies by concurring territories each turn.  In Axis and allies the player has to earn money and buy armies for an attack.  While playing Axis and allies a player can spend the money they earn on developing new weapons or upgrades for your armies, but not in Risk.  The upgrades can enhance moving capabilities, army cost, defense systems, and fighting  capabilities for your armies.
     Both games have a lot of similar ideas and different ideas.  These Ideas make them really fun.  If games weren't different or similar they would all be boring.
