A Risk by any other name

This week I offer for your gaming edification: Ancient Empire's Lux. It's basically Risk played on maps of Ancient civilisations including Egypt, Sumer and Greece. The maps are welll thought out, with nice choke points, and add lots of variety for the Risk aficionado. Apart from that it's just Risk.

And for no extra charge I give you: Orbit. I really like this one, it's quite mesmerising with some great music. There are no instructions, but I think I worked out what to do ...
