While largely free of manipulative design, the online competitive nature of RISK: Global Domination can expose players to competitive toxicity and social comparison through rankings. Although direct stranger chat is absent, the competitive environment itself can be a source of stress. Game sessions can also be lengthy, requiring time management.
