How much is a 1959 edition of risk worth?

Answer 1

Hi - I collect Board Games and so have a fair idea of their worth. I have a copy of the 1st edition of risk. Board games are often listed as 1st editions just because they have a date on them, but many continued using the 1st edition date for many years (ie 1959 for Risk, 1935 for Monopoly etc). The 1st Risk can be idfentified easily as it has different coloured letters for the word 'Continental' on the box lid and board and significantly has a cut out for each individual die inside the box. The copy I have is in near mint condition and I paid about £50 ($80) for it about 10 years ago. Condition will affect the price alot but you should be able to get one for about £30-£80 in average condition - if you can find one! Beware of the reproduction produced a few years ago. Russell
