Castle Risk is a version of the board game Risk that is played on a map of Europe. It is one of the first variants of Risk, first released as a stand-alone game in Europe by Parker Brothers in 1986; it later appeared on the reverse side of the standard Risk board in a combined version published in 1990. The game never was officially released in the United Kingdom. The Castle Risk map board was reused in another variant, published in 1999 as Risk: Edition Napoleon.
