This is an absolutely incredible board game. I can not speak for the entire length of the 15 games but we are through multiple and I have never felt as much excitement to continue playing. One thing that must be done is do not search around on the internet for the spoilers, the game comes with 6 locked card pouches that can only be opened at certain times, thus changing the game drastically. Although it may not be fun playing a second time wiht a new version, the changes they have made to the tried and true risk set up have greatly increased the speed and strategy of the game. Do not believe that all 15 games will take as long as a normal game of risk, the end game is no longer world domination for most of the games, and thus the games happen much faster. The rule book is dense but once getting through it (around an hourish) we played about three games in around 3.5-4 hours (20 minutes-1 hour - 2 hours).
The only con is that you must have the same players play each of the 15 games. This makes it way more fun but also disqualifies some people as some do not have a consistent way to play with 3-5 other people. We are playing with my two brothers and one of their's wife before they leave for the holidays. It has been fun enough that we have made preliminary plans to fly out to their home to continue the game as we will not finish during the holidays. People may believe 50 dollars may be a little steep for a game you can only play "once", though I would argue that you will get around 35-45 hours of playtime out of it, and around 1 dollar per hour for multiple people is pretty good.
We have some extended family up here so we are not allowed to play right now, but am itching to get back into it, it is that engaging and exciting.

No spoilers in this post, but I will be talking about the rules immediately out-of-the-box.
One of my friends gathered us together to play this game, explaining it's "like Risk" but with "permanent effects, so that the game changes forever every time you play". Succinct, yet accurate.
What this description doesn't capture (and what's impossible to understand until you actually play), is just *how* the board changes and how *mind-blowing* it is.
The default rules are very similar to vanilla Risk, with a few additions. The win conditions are relaxed (instead of capturing the entire board, you gather four red star tokens in various ways... games run 1-2 hours). In addition, there are five races to choose from with various perks (+1 to defense rolls, extra manueverability, etc).
To give an idea of how zany this game is: each race starts with two possible perks. You choose one for each race and literally throw the other in the trash. In the first five minutes you have made a permanent decision that permanently alters how your version of the game is played. Forever.
The key to the game's evolution is in two parts: game-to-game and via the envelopes. Every time a game ends, the winner and the hold-outs get to make a decision. The winner might name a continent, giving him a bonus when he controls it. He might found a major city, giving him recruitment bonuses in the territory. The hold-outs get to found minor cities, or make territories more valuable. This changes how diplomacy and expansion works in later games. There are also "scar cards", which players can use to permanently improve or weaken a territory, by placing a sticker on the board.
The second part is the sealed envelopes in the game box. Each has a condition, such as "Open when all nine major cities have been founded", or "Open when a player has won twice". Each envelope drastically, I mean *drastically*, evolves the game for future plays. These are where spoilers come in, and I won't detail any further. Let me just say that every time we've opened an envelope, there have been gasps and hysterical laughter at the realization of what they mean for the next game. I have been more impacted by some of the envelopes than I am by spoilers in some books/films I've read and seen.
Get a group of four friends, and make this a weekly ritual. The board is good for at least 15 evolutionary games before things stop changing, and this is something you just have to experience for yourself. Don't cheese games just to get to an envelope, either. The consequences are permanent and profound; play the game as you normally would and you'll appreciate the changes all the more.

Amazing. This game is beyond fun. It shouldn't be legal. The concept is utterly brilliant. Yes, it's risk, but different. If you've played risk before then learning the new rules will be a breeze. It's best played with the same group of people but it's not absolutely necessary. But for the best experience, play it with a close group of friends, check your feelings at the door, and get into the spirit of the game. BE WARNED. You will write on the board, you will put stickers on it, you'll make changes that are sometimes irreversible and it's all awesome. I can't stress enough how awesome this game is. Bottom line. If you like risk, have a close group of friends that you game with, and don't have a problem customizing your game. Then pick this up. NOW. While you still can. Board gaming history is being made here, people.

Perfect if you have a stable group of Boardgame Friends
If you have a group that you play with regularly, get this. Even if they don't like Risk, there's enough going on that it keeps it fresh. Super great concept and really well done.
