Really great video that explains the game without all the "house ruling" most of us put in place. But you did leave out one crucial rule: the person who flips the board and stomps out of the room is still responsible for cleaning up everything. About 90% of the games I played in the '80s ended that way.

Ah, my favorite game of all time! Yes, to this day, Risk is still my #1...even ahead of Ticket to Ride, Catan, or Carcassonne! Thanks for promoting the game, Rodney, by doing this video! A thing I learned from the video is that it is called the "Maneuvering Phase." My family always called it the "Fortify Phase." Has it always been called Maneuvering, or did older rules in the Parker Brothers releases call it Fortify, like we call it? Also, I had no idea you could maneuver/fortify several spaces away (as long as you had a valid connection)! My family always played that the territory had to be directly adjacent to maneuver/fortify. Is that a new rule too, or is that a "house rule" (ala Monopoly) that my dad and uncles made up in the 70's? :D Thanks for the video on this fun, family game!

TIP: Some people have asked what is the difference between attacking with Infantry, Cavalry Or Artillery. Just know, there is no difference. These are not pieces that attack in different ways - they all work the same, they just represent different amounts of Troops. You can think of it this way: there is no difference between the way you "use" a $1, $5 or $10 bill, they just represent different amounts of the same thing: money. So if you have a Cavalry piece in a space, that just means you have 5 Troops in that space, which would be the exact same as having 5 individual Infantry pieces in that space. And remember, as the video says, you can "make change" at any time. If you want to replace a Cavalry piece with 5 Infantry, you can. The main reason for having these different denominations of pieces is so that if you have 30 troops in one space, they don't HAVE to be made up of 30 individual Infantry pieces there (that would get pretty crowded, and they might not even fit in the space) - instead you can replace them with 3 Artillery pieces for the sake of not overcrowding the space, but you could then switch those artillery for Infantry or Cavalry at any time.

The story fo Risk in my country (Italy) is always fascinating. First, it has been rebranded as Risiko, maybe because I’m the ‘70s it sounded more “Italian”. Besides, the Italian edition came with the Secret mission variant from the start, that’s the way we’ve always played it. Finally the attacker and the defender can use both up to three infantry during each attack. Risk (or better Risiko) is still a very popular game here with tournaments and a very large fanbase of all ages. I’m not a huge fan, but I enjoy a game every now and then.

But if you don't have a set to trade in at the start of your turn, you don't automatically get bonus troops for sets you turned in on previous turns (card related bonuses are resolved only when a set is turned in kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqNstLWoqrucccY.htmlfeature=shared&t=629). Not quite sure if that's what you're asking, but that's my best guess. Let me know if that covers it.

@WatchItPlayed

Жыл бұрын

Hi Amir, 1) I'm having a hard time imaging a situation where you couldn't replace infantry with cavalry. You can always exchange pieces for an equal value in troops. Also, defeated infantry aren't removed from the game, just from the board, so when they are defeated, you can continue to add them back to the board, when you would gain more troops. If, somehow, you truly ran out of pieces, just use coins, or something suitable as a replacement. 2) Maneuver is step 3 of your turn (attacker is earlier).

Hey Rodney, I was hoping to confirm something with you. When you explained how players can receive troops from sets they trade in, I became quite confused.

Yes, when collecting the troops you would normally get at the start of your turn, you can also trade in sets to get additional troops (based on the values on the outside of the board).

1) Yes, exactly. They are basically troops, just several all combined in one piece. You can exchange them for the equal number of troops at any time. 2) A horse is 5 troops. Try not to think of it as a unique piece that fights in a different way. They all fight the same way. A horse in a space is the same as 5 troops in a space (it just saves room). 3) kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqNstLWoqrucccY.htmlfeature=shared&t=432 4) You can attack multiple times, so if they commit only 1 troop during the first attack and you defeat it, then attack them again and they'll have to commit their last troop. The defender must commit 1 or 2 troops. They can't commit 0. Hope that helps!

@@WatchItPlayed You are very understandable!! So to secure that I’m going to explain it right to my friends, 1)One Horse(equals 5 troops) attacks and lose one time, I replace it with 4 troops(5-1=4)?? 2)The guide of the game says that we cannot attack to a land that have only 1 troop to defend .so this is something that doesn’t exist??

@@konstantinosmenexis1289 1) You sort of have it, but I want to correct one thing. When you lose a fight, you lose 1 or 2 troops depending on the result of the dice. So if you lose 2 troops, you’d replace the horse with 3 troops. Maybe you know that, but your example said you’d lose only 1 troop. You COULD only lose 1 troop - it depends on the dice results. You’ll see this explained in the video if you’re ensure. 2) Do you have an exact quote from your rulebook? Are you sure you’re reading it correctly? Is it an English rulebook or in another language (sometimes rulebooks end up with errors when they get mistranslated). You can’t attack FROM a land with only 1 troop, and I’m guessing that’s what’s being mixed up, you can certainly TO a land that only has one troop to defend. Hope that helps.

Just got this game for Christmas and it’s new to me, I have an attacking question, if in my turn I attack from the Ukraine, can I in the same turn attack using my troops in North Africa? Or can I only keep attacking from the territory that I initially attacked from?

If you attack from the Ukraine, you have to totally finish that attack, before resolving an attack from a different location.

Lets say I trade in my first set. Would i get 4 troops only during the beginning of that turn, or the beginning of every turn?

Oh, and btw maybe I missed it but what is the deal when you attack with artillery or cavalry? Get a bonus or?

@WatchItPlayed

Artillery and cavalry are just different denominations of troops. You'll find this detailed in the video. It just means you can have 1 piece represent 5 troops. This is helpful when you have several troops in one space.

Hey! I have a question.. What happenes when I am attacking with 3 infrantry and someone is defending with 1 infratry and all of my 3 dices are lower then their 1, do i lose all 3 infrantry or just 1?

Just 1.

Can you fortify before you attack, or you must follow the deploy - attack - fortify order?

@WatchItPlayed

You must follow the order.

How do you attack with a cavalry or artillery? For example, when cavalries attack do all the 5 troops they're worth attack at the same time? What happens when 1 or 2 troops die?

You'll find a pinned comment with this video, explaining this.

But what the difference between the pieces do they attack different or? Because I ont see the point in exchanging if they are all the same

@WatchItPlayed

There is no difference. There are different shaped pieces, to represent different denominations of troops. When you have lots of troops in one place, rather than having 25 individual troops in one space, you can exchange them for pieces that represent several troops.

You can tell this is the Canadian version because it has both English and French language on the cards. :)

They are shaped different, but represent the same things - if the rules are still in the box, it might let you know which is which.

If I’m attacking and i have 2 territories adjacent to the opponents territory, then can i take pieces from both territories and attack? I believe it’s just 1 territory. I couldn’t find it in the video or instructions Anyway thanks for your help
