Create Risk in Python: Python vs Pygame and Other Frameworks for Building Risk-Based Game Mechanics
Python is best used as the rules engine for a Risk-style strategy game, while Pygame is best used when the project needs a playable desktop prototype with a custom map, dice combat, and mouse-driven territory control. A developer building Risk-based game mechanics should start with plain Python for battle math, turn rules, AI choices, and simulations. Pygame can come next, once the rules feel fair and fun.
