I've often complained that I struggle with Risk-like games due to my incredibly poor luck when it comes to rolling the dice. The newest Lux game, however, changes the setting to ancient world empires, which is enough for me to get past my whining and play deep into the game. Suddenly my focus shifted from my frustration of my 17 army being eliminated by a 3 again to figuring out what strategy I needed to take the hotly contested center pieces of land, which act as keystones to specific map areas. The multiple difficulty settings along with varied maps and historical intrigue gives the game a lot of depth, and helped make it the first Risk-like game that I've ever really enjoyed.
