Risk: British Isles


This is a board i designed based on the game of Risk but only using Great Britain and Ireland.

The island are split into 11 countries, each made up of between 4 and 6 counties.

Ireland has of course been split into: Ulster (orange), Leinster (green), Munster (purple) and Connaught (mid-blue).

Splitting England was going to be more difficult, as it is the largest country and doesn't have obvious areas like Ireland. In the end i researched the history of England to find out what countries existed before England's unification.  The results were: Mercia (yellow) Cornwall/Dumnonia (grey), Bernicia (magenta), and South-East England (cyan)

Wales stayed as one country, due do its small size, and Scotland was split along the lines of the Celtic inhabitants, Scots (Lowlands) in navy, and Picts (Highlands) in Brown.

  2. I congratulate you for this map. It's cool.
    You should consider to add rivers and mountains as terrain limitations between provinces, it makes the game more strategic.
    + in one of my risk maps, i added northern france and southern norway, to recreate vikings' invasion on GB. That could be interesting to be applied in your map.
