Hi. I'm a big fan of your game. I would like to suggest you to introduce some tournaments between people's. Like 24 players compete in a single tournament of 4 round. I have a lot o ideas. But to hard to explain in a message. I hope I give you the right way to add something more on this beautiful game risk. Thanks

Parker Brothers , then Milton Bradley, then Hasbro sanctioned the International Risk Tournament of Champions from 1989-2008 (some info can be found on Wayback Machine Internet archives

such as

(archives have some dates mixed up but still lots of information on the tourney )

Was a three day tournament with Food (breakfast & dinner) , Beer, Beverages, entertainment after rounds were completed for the day, expensive one-of-a kind prizes for all six finalists (including cash). Hasbro was more concerned with their interactive games rather than supporting

the tournament which brought them yearly AP coverage including former ESPN coverage.

Hasbro didn't care that it was a successful event for 20 years, so it stopped.

Others that played in the tournament tried to run their own unapproved version

of the event, and it folded after only 2 years. I believe they named that the World

Risk Championship.

In any case, the IRTOC event hailed contestants from as far away as British Columbia Canada,

Europe, South & Central America, & was lots & lots of fun.
