I own one of the Risk variants, "Godstorm." It's Risk-style combat, set in a stylized ancient world map, where you summon your civilization's different gods, such as God of Death, Sky, etc. You draw cards based on their special abilities and they impact the game somehow. Only thing about them is that they're terribly strong and kind of unbalanced. For instance, one card for the God of Death sinks the entire continent of Atlantis, killing every unit on it.
Another twist is that when your little guys die, they go to the Underworld, where you fight it out to resurrect them to temples on the main board.
