HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Attention Generals!
Happy International Women’s Day to all our female-identifying Generals! 
RISK has always been a game that everyone can enjoy and the RISK team especially appreciates how welcoming the community has been to all gamers.
We've seen an increase over recent years in our female player base for RISK. We think this is awesome and we love seeing the RISK community be more diverse and inclusive! 
So, for this International Women’s Day, we’d like to celebrate our female identifying RISK players by showcasing some of our female RISK streamers and give you a chance to learn more about them!
Check them out below.

How long have you been playing RISK?
This version, a year, but I have been playing other versions of Risk for a decade!
How did you get into RISK?
Played Catan with some friends and was reminded of Risk. I had previously been familiar with it as a board game.
What does being a female gamer mean to you?
I hope other girls see that playing games is for having fun! Games are for everyone and the Risk community is especially welcoming to all!
Do you have any advice for female identifying gamers wanting to get into RISK?
Come hang out in Discord and join tournaments. I have met SO many awesome people in this community.

How long have you been playing RISK?
Someone broke my bonus and I quit for about 4 years but I picked it back up a few months ago after finally cooling off.
How did you get into RISK?
My flatmate at the time challenged me to a game. I was terrible and didn't understand it at all but after a few beers became confident enough to aggressively take Australia.
What does being a female gamer mean to you?
I have little experience as a female gamer since I only really play RISK, and only recently started to talk to other players through my twitch stream. The community has been overwhelmingly positive and kind. I am aware however of the rampant sexism within the gaming sphere in general, so if my platform, however small, is making a tiny difference by showing a 'female gamer' showing up to a male dominated platform then I would certainly see this as a win. Unlike my games of Risk lately, which are mostly losses.

Make alliance, thumbs down, break alliance

How long have you been playing RISK?
I've been playing Risk on and off since I was a young gal.
How did you get into RISK?
When I started playing online, I really loved the community and social aspects. I wanted to play something casually one night and just downloaded Risk. Little did I expect, it was chaos and the maps were very different and lovely.
What does being a female gamer mean to you?
Being a female gamer, just shows empowerment to me, as the gaming community is male dominated. I believe females bring a certain light and playfulness to the community.
Do you have any advice for female identifying gamers wanting to get into RISK?
Advice I would give other women getting into Risk, just give it a try, join the community, meet new folks and just share some laughs.
