Roman RISK

A huge RISK game centered around Roman history. As an elementary school teacher we sometimes run thematic weeks. This game is meant to be the center for a thematic Roman history week.

The school: 200 students, nine classes, 4th to 6th grade. All school day for an entire week.

Organization: The classes are broken up and mixed in to 8 different teams - this will be their team the entire week.

Classes: Each team will visit one class for an entire day. Classes with roman themes. An entire day with math and roman numerals. A day with architecture. A day making gladius in woodworks. Making mosaics in art class. So on so forth.

Denarii: Each teacher has a bunch of denarii tokens. They hand them out to students during the day. They are awarded for completing tasks, good team work, leadership, focusing on doing a good job etc.

The RISK: A giant board, with hundreds of territories is placed central in the school. Teams can work to and from the game all day, all week. They can spend their denarii on different units. They will fight, taking over territories and try to get the most power. Save or spend denarii, alliances, tactics, aggresive, defensive - it will be up to the teams.

Donations
A game like this would work great with paper tokens and units. And that's around what the public school system can afford.

Should you want to help raise this above and beyond for these kids - donations are very welcome. Old 1:72 roman figures or donations. Any and all collected will go towards buying plastic models for units, to make a better experience on the game. Drop a message for a Paypal accont.

Cheers.
