Growing up, few things could make me hate my friends more than a game of Monopoly or Risk. I know those bastards cheated. The original game of Risk allowed you to take over the entire world.

I remember playing the board game Risk growing up. It always seemed like you needed to carve out an entire day to play it. People would always start backing out of the game and wanting to do something else when it was clear they were losing.

So you love a good game of Risk. You play it all of the time. You even strategize when you are not playing. You are basically addicted to world domination. If that sounds like you, here is your dream coffee table.

A labor of love 7 years in the making, this heavily customized, Nintendo-themed variant of Risk was made by – drum roll please – redditor NintendoRisk. Instead of our countries and continents, the territories are places from various classic Nintendo games, including the Kanto region, Hyrule, Eagleland, Dinosaur Island and more.

This beautiful Game of Thrones version of Risk was created by Fay Helfer. The detail is amazing and the set comes complete with pyrography artwork and a detailed, carved map of Westeros. It was made as a commission for Matt B, who is now the envy of the interwebs.

I’ve never been big on the Metal Gear Solid games myself, but I know it has tons of fans, so it’s no surprise that this limited-edition Metal Gear Solid Version of Risk is about to hit store shelves.
