One of the BEST board games of all time!

I got so good at risk nobody would play me anymore.
One strategy I had was take the southeast Asian Islands( can’t remember the names anymore. ) I would then take siam( if I hadn’t already), and concentrate forces there to defend the islands from capture . I would then methodically take Asia. The islands were a good base with one way in so it was very easy to defend. And because I had the whole area, reinforcements kept piling up. Any time I got that area secure, I would eventually win.

The rules state that you can move anywhere on the board when maneuvering, as long as the territories create a chain (meaning the territories in the path are all yours). And that you can move your troops from any territory (as long as they are connected) to any ONE territory.

What you said was very different.

Having played the online version, I think playing on the board itself, although slower, is more fun. The software version, even with the same rules, felt different and the troops can easily snowball to hundreds of units on a "stack".

simple yet great game. i always try to lay low at first, let everyone fight each weakening their forces then i move in, much like how the usa played ww2

This game introduced me to the world of strategy games

Anyone tried playing by a slight variation to the rules where you win a risk card for every territory you defeat on your attacking turn? We tried it for three players and thought it worked well. The troops stacked up and there were some almighty sized battles. It was also a faster game.

I love this game but I haven’t been able to teach my peers

[atrvid]

I still don't understand how to play ;-;

[chasedeboer]

I found this super helpful, and I think he did a great job, at telling the information. I thought that the instructions for the actual game, had a few spots that weren’t clear enough, anyway thanks for the video!

My all time favorite board game with monopoly second

[martinkullberg]

It looks like a fun game,
Today I played kolonists of Catan, and I added extra possibilities : the option to build "barracks" so players could place "knights" via the existing knight cards and with the diffrence to first build barracks, later ye could build (barracks required) heavy weapons factory, to build armor etc., I did not manage to play long enough to come up with a mechanism to use these, I only succeeded to rob other player of resource cards, or militarily block acces to resources with the barracks and knights. I was thinking of activating a " battle dice" like mechanism once armor was on the board, I knew the game risk but never investigated it, I decided to look it up and now know they have a "battle dice" mechanism, if boath games are in posession it would be fun to use the pieces of risk on the catan board when heavy weapons factory is build so players could wage war, still thinking it out though 🤔

I'm here because I was invited to come to a risk party only having played risk once. Turns out it's a pretty serious event.

[someone_thattalkstopics]

I just started playing it it's amazing I luv it because I'm really into countrys

[myshasaleem]

it was an okay video, but i still dont understand what to do with the cards. And the explanations were vague.

[George-vhnb]

Great video clear explanation. Thank you😊

[GingTheGing]

I just ordered basic risk to be delivered to my house in a week!!! AUS IS MINE!

So what do cannons and calvary bring to the table? Battle wise what do they do? Like if 1 infantry attacks a cannon and the cannon loses the roll
