Why include the old classic in the poll? There's no way in hell we're ever going to see that map in CC...


I don't get those people who whine at every change, even if it's for the better. Are they so stuck up in their boring life full of routines that anything that is different threatens them? Sad.

New classic by far. Even if old classic was what I was used to, new classic looks straight gorgeous and in many respects is prettier than the Risk board itself. Only thing I have to get used to is the use of lines instead of regions. Not that big a deal, IMO.

Of the four classic variants, the most appealing from a gameplay perspective is the original one. However, the only version that went through the foundry properly is the current one, and to be honest, I think the quality shows.

This isnt to appeal for a change back, just for interest. I prefer the new one anyway.

I was going to say old classic, but tactix sums things up quite nicely that I voted for the new classic.
