Beau Willimon, the creator of the Netflix series House of Cards, is developing a television series adaptation of the classic board game Risk.

The game has been around since the late 1950s and players “aim for global conquest via war, strategy and diplomacy.”

The show is being made by Entertainment One, which is owned by Hasbro. Willimon‘s production company has signed a multiyear, first-look TV deal with the studio.

Beau and his producing partner Jordan Tappis said, “All of us at Westward are thrilled to join forces with eOne to bring to life some of the most successful IP in the marketplace as well as partner on our extensive slate of scripted television shows. We’re excited to develop Risk as our first project together.”

Michael Lombardo, president global television at eOne, said, “In Beau, we’ve found an amazing combination of brilliant producer, singular creator, and avid fan of Risk. We can’t wait to work with him and the rest of the Westward team to reimagine that brand and so much more.”

Beau Willimon, the creator of House of Cards, has released a statement about the allegations made by Anthony Rapp against the Netflix show’s star Kevin Spacey.

“Anthony Rapp‘s story is deeply troubling. During he time I worked with Kevin Spacey on House of Cards I neither witnessed nor was aware of any inappropriate behavior on set or off. That said, I take reports of such behavior seriously, and this is no exception. I feel for Mr. Rapp and I support his courage,” Beau wrote in a statement released on his Twitter account.

In addition to responding to the allegations that he made a pass at Anthony when he was only 14, Kevin chose to use his apology as the place to come out, causing added controversy.
