Risk was just between my brother any myself, so it was always a bit of a stalemate till one of the dices goes on a rampage and destroys all the opponent's troops :)
Risk is also good for Geography as it helps to visualise the continents on a flat map. I do miss playing Risk now we are talking about it.
Nintendo switch is also great, just make sure to get those more family oriented games like Mario Cart/ Mario Party/ Switch Sports whereby a group of people can play together.
Risk led to many arguments too - but I feel it was less than in Monopoly.
We don't have a console of any kind - I have actually never owned one...
If you don't have a console and Smallsteps isn't asking for one, then all good.
I was a bit of a gamer myself, so the Nintendo Switch was an "us" present :D
