If you love classic board games then Contlex Ventures, the developer behind Bomberman vs. Zombies, let us know they have the answer with their latest release Dice Strategy. While it may not sound familiar, its roots go back to the hugely popular Parker Brothers board game called Risk. Both are strategic games whose main objective is to conquer the world. Using just a pair of dice, players control armies which they must use to gain control over neighboring territories (or continents). These wars continue until one player occupies every territory on the board thus achieving world domination.
What Dice Strategy lacks in graphics it makes up for in gameplay. Players can choose the level of difficulty, the size of the map, battle types and army placement, and their starting setup and color. If you'd rather not play against the computer opponents, there's a "Play and Pass" mode that pits you against up to four of your friends or colleagues. I've been playing it on the train to and from work and while it's a fun way to pass the time, it takes a certain amount of maneuvering and skill to win. If you think you can dominate the globe then be sure to check it out. Dice Strategy is currently available for FREE in BlackBerry App World for most BlackBerry devices running OS 4.6 and higher.

Awesome. I've been looking for an alternative to Risk since it has a hefty pricetag. Thanks!
