Google Maps API: Risk

November 12, 2005

Mike D recently pointed me at GMRisk by TehDiplomat. This interesting use of the Google Maps API created a fully playable version of the game of Risk played on top of the satellite view of the world provided by Google’s Maps.

Unfortunately, you cannot play this multiplayer across multiple computers. If you want to play an actual game here, you need to huddle a pile of friends around a single computer for hours to play. With this in mind, I find the idea interesting, but the implementation short of actual fun. There’s no AI available, so you can’t play by yourself either…

I’m also not sure what playing on an interactive actual map gains you other than novelty. There isn’t any real great reason for zooming in or panning around. If there were new innovative features that too this into account that would again make this a lot cooler.

    It’s cool as a proof-of-concept, if nothing else. I assume there’s no client-server functionality to the GM API, thus no client-server in Risk. But I guess if you’re going to sit around a computer and play a board game, you might as well be sitting around a board instead.
