Sony Pictures has acquired the movie rights to the board game “Risk” from Hasbro. The studio is hoping the “strategic and tactical gameplay” will translate to the silver screen.

Risk is a turn based board game for 2 to 6 players where you try to capture territories and control the world with your army. The game of world domination was created in 1957 by French film director Albert Lamorisse before it was purchased by Parker Brothers two years later. Parker Bros was then acquired by Hasbro in 1991.

In the trade paper announcement, Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad cites the success of franchises like Transformers and G.I. Joe as reason enough to pour more money into rainy day nostalgia.

Universal is already working on Battleship with Peter Berg, a Ouija Board horror movie from Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes production company. Plus Stretch Armstrong, Lego, and Asteroids movies are in the early stages of development.
