Capturing territories. As soon as you defeat the last opposing army on
a territory, you capture that territory and must occupy it immediately. To
do so, move in at least as many armies as the number of dice you rolled in
your last battle. Remember: In most cases, moving as many armies as you
can to the front is advantageous, because armies left behind can’t help
you when you are attacking. Also remember you must always leave at least
one army behind on the territory you attacked from. During the game,
every territory must always be occupied by at least one army.
Ending your attack. You may end your attack(s) at any time. If you have
captured at least one territory, first take the top RISK card from the draw
pile. (No matter how many territories you’ve captured on your turn, you
may take only one RISK card.) Your last step is to fortify your position, if
you wish (see below). Finally, pass the dice.
Eliminating an opponent. If during your turn you eliminate an
opponent by defeating his or her last army on the game board, you win any
RISK cards that player has collected.
If winning them gives you 6 or more cards, you must immediately trade
in enough sets to reduce your hand to 4 or fewer cards, but once your
hand is reduced to 4,3, or 2 cards, you must stop trading.
But if winning them gives you fewer than 6, you must wait until the
beginning of your next turn to trade in a set.
Note: When you draw a card from the deck at the end of your turn (for
having won a battle), if this brings your total to 6, you must wait until
your next turn to trade in.
FORTIFYING YOUR POSITION
No matter what you’ve done on your turn, you may, if you wish, end your
turn by fortifying your position. You are not required to win a battle or even
to try an attack to do so. Some players refer to this as the “free move.”
To fortify your position, move as many armies as you’d like from one (and
only one) of your territories into one (and only one) of your adjacent
territories. Remember to move troops towards borders where they can help
in an attack!
In moving your armies from one territory to another, you must leave at least
one army behind.
WINNING
The winner is the first player to eliminate every opponent by capturing all
42 territories on the board.
