The number of extra armies is different for each continent: You will have to place your forces wisely, attack at just the right time and fortify your defenses against all enemies. But be careful: Winning battles will depend on careful planning, quick decisions, and bold moves. On your turn, try to capture territories by defeating your opponents' armies.
Whoever placed the first army opens the game. Shuffle the pack of RISK cards (maybe, remove the Mission cards) and place the cards face down by the side of the board. There is no limit to the number of armies you may place onto a single territory. Continue until all 42 territories have been claimed.Īfter all 42 territories are claimed, each player in turn places one additional army onto any territory he or she already occupies.Ĭontinue in this way until everyone has run out of armies. Starting to the left of the first player, in turn, everyone places one army onto any unoccupied territory. Whoever rolls the highest number takes one Infantry piece from his or her pile and places it onto any territory on the board, thus claiming that territory.
CardsĤ2 Cards are marked with a territory and a picture of Infantry, Cavalry, or Artillery. Later, you can trade in 5 Infantry for 1 Cavalry, or 2 Cavalry (or 1 Cavalry and 5 Infantry) for 1 Artillery. Start the game by placing Infantry pieces.
The game board is a map of 6 continents divided into 42 territories.
