Fracas is a computer game, similar to the board game Risk, but without any elements of chance. It utilizes a random map creator, as well as a map editor with which users can create their own maps. This random map generator allows the user to edit many different game parameters, such as land-to-water ratio, and country proportions. With the ability to accommodate up to six players, the game features several artificial intelligence personalities, as well as the ability to host or join games on a local computer network. The focus of the game is on eliminating other players by capturing their headquarters, assigned or chosen at the beginning of play.
The game is played in three stages - Reinforcements, Action, and Tactical Movement.
