Conquer Club

Groups of friends named clans gang up on you, you start with a low score and higher ranking players take you out so they loose less points.

The moderators are the worst aspect, cancelling memberships for comments that their petty uptight minds can't deal with, even though you haven't broken any rules as stated in their agreement. No recourse for their decisions either.

I recommend starting a free account and returning the favor.

Cheats set up multiple accounts on Conquer Club and get banned. They then come on here and post multiple poor reviews, ignore them!
I've been playing for 15 years and have had no problems with admin or moderators, only idiots do, ignore the haters.

I've been playing on Conquer Club since 2009, and I love all the maps and settings available. One of the best features of the set is the active community. In addition, many players go out of their way to help new players learn the ropes. I highly recommend it if you like Risk-style games.

I was looking for a good place to play Risk online. This was one of the first results, but I quickly noticed how low-quality it was.

After reading a length terms-of-service page, I made an account. Then I noticed how un-navigable the interface was and all the things on the home page. I simply wanted to play Risk, but this website overloaded me with random things, while they kept charging me for extra features.

Then, I read about how insanely harsh the moderators and administrators of this site are towards seemingly-random players. I wanted to delete my account, or at the very least change my username, but I can't even do that.

The community is pretty small at this point (~5000). Best place to play risk if you enjoy a challenge. It can be hard to find the people worth being around. Most people that frequent the forums are trolls. Most worthwhile players/people are in clans but it can be a bit exclusive to people who have been around awhile. Reach out in callouts to find people to play with and see where it goes. Ignore the trolls. I highly suggest playing here if you enjoy risk, I'd love to see it thrive again, but think it is past its peak with a very dated UI and not enough income to do any real updates.

This site is as rigged as they come, the dice are anything but random and the drops are just ridiculous. As soon as you do well and gain a promotion, you immediately do rubbish and get a demotion. There is no skill involved and the whole game runs on a cycle. Play for a mess around but do not invest your money into it. Stay as a fremium as you will do better, thats the plan, they want to make you think your doing good to spend the money. They should be arrested for fraud and shut down.

My 13 year old niece was inappropriately approached by a 40 year man. It was decided by the people in charge (and much of the community) that my niece had asked for it, and was responsible for attracting the attention of a pedophile predator. I kept an eye on this predator and was accused of stalking. The site managers then granted the pedo predator anonymity by changing his username. I have been warned and punished for raising issue over their views that children/women 'ask for it'. This site is run by men with very misogynistic attitudes. Even the female bots are programmed with very sexist 'rapey' phrases like "stop! Not in the mood!". Keep your women and children away from this cesspool

They claim to have over 700,000 members on the front page... In reality, they have less than 7000 active members. They make it sound like this is the site to be playing on so they can scam you out of your money. They are falling fast. If you pay and it shuts down, you lose your money.

Play for free (4 games and very little choices), but DO NOT give them money.

They will try and tell you if you pay, you can play unlimited games and have more options for your games. It's not worth the money when Secret Diplomacy runs rampant with the "old members", yet the site does nothing about it even though it is against the rules.

If you are new, and you are accused of Secret Diplomacy, you are automatically guilty AND, they CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP! Even though they have no evidence other then a couple of their "old members" making the claim. Then they tell you that you must PAY AGAIN to reinstate your account!

You are forewarned!

This site is an excellent source of challenge and strategy community! I have played many hundreds of hours of the original board game and almost 2,000 games on this site. The worst thing about this site are the occasional bitter player who doesn't believe the randomized dice stats and complains in chat.

The 24 hour turn feature allows the gameplay of Risk to take place with your coffee, or after work, without a major time commitment required to participate.

An excellent source of good, on-your-time, fun!

This site they would have you believe to be totally random and fair to all, however, you will soon learn that it is in fact rigged in many ways, particulary if you are associated to the site where you will find that they are favoured by all aspects including map drops and dice rolls.
They also get you to pay for a yearly subscription at a cost of £15.00. I have been a member for just under a year and been accused twice of cheating by having multiple accounts. With this they cancel your subscription and get you to pay another £15.00 to reinstate your account.
They have no evidence to support there accusations an just use this to extort more monies from you.
The site should be investigated for fraud and I strongly advice no one to pay any money or submit any financial or personal information
ALL BEWARE!

Im in my last year with this bunch of clowns, after 15 years!, nothing, except some stars you can't do anything with!
Clans are a joke, no support for tourneys

On this site are on a power trip. Best avoid if you want a fun experience.

There are much better sites available which I discovered after wasting years here.

I agree 100% with what another reviewer said, Ignore the whiners. I've been a member of the site for many years. Although I have left and returned a couple times. I've made friends there through a clan, so I end up coming back to play in clan tournaments. I've only recently returned again. I've honestly never run into problems with the mods in all of my time playing.

If you have multiple accounts, farm new players, collude in games, or make a general nuisance of yourself, you're going to get noticed. Some of the reviews here appear to be from people who got noticed for the wrong reasons.

And mods don't cheat lmao or have "friends" that they favour. That's a blatant lie. There's a long running joke on the site about "premium dice" because people complain about dice so often in these kind of games. It's 50% dice and 50% strategy. Poorer players tend to complain that dice is the reason they lost. But if two players are really good at the game, dice is likely going to decide the winner. The dice will not go our way all of the time. And sometimes that can be frustrating if you get a bad roll at a crucial point in a game. But, it's just a game and it's part of the fun. If you want a 100% strategy game, play chess. It's called Risk for a reason.

I love Conquer Club. It has it's flaws, certainly. The UI for starting a new game is a bit confusing for a new player imho. But start simple, create a few bot games and see how it feels.

The general area of the forums can be a little bit of a turn off, but I generally choose not to post in them. Mods have gotten better at putting a stop to the trolling though. I've been a member now for over a decade on and off. I returned because of the covid lockdown and found my love for the game again.

I recommend that new users sign up for SoC training via the forums. They add you into a group where you learn a few tips and meet more players. You can also join Clans if you've been active for a little while and would like to play with teams. I've personally done these things after joining and met some really great people. The site has around 6,000-7,000 active players currently, and you can use the Global Chat to call people to join your games to fill them faster.

Just thought I'd post my positive experience to balance out the negatives.

The outcome of the dice are so inconsistent that it takes the fun out of the game. A player cannot rely on good strategy because the dice are so unpredictable.
