PLAYING
On your turn, try to capture territories by defeating your opponents’
armies. But be careful: Winning battles will depend on careful planning,
quick decisions and bold moves. You’ll have to place your forces wisely,
attack at just the right time and fortify your defenses against all enemies.
Note: At any time during the game, you may trade in Infantry pieces for the
equivalent (see page 4) in Cavalry or Artillery if you need to, or wish to.
Each of your turns consists of three steps, in this order:
1. Getting and placing new armies;
2. Attacking, if you choose to, by rolling the dice;
3. Fortifying your position.
GETTING AND PLACING NEW ARMIES
At the beginning of each turn, calculate how many new armies you’ll add
to your territories based on . . .
1. The number of territories you occupy;
2. The value of the continents you control;
3. The value of the matched sets of RISK cards you trade in;
4. The specific territory pictured on a traded-in card.
Territories. At the beginning of every turn (including your first), count the
number of territories you currently occupy, then divide the total by three
(ignore any fraction). The answer is the number of armies you receive. Place
the new armies on any territory you already occupy.
Example: 11 territories
= 3 armies
14 territories = 4 armies
17 territories = 5 armies
You will always receive at least 3 armies on a turn, even if you occupy fewer
than 9 territories.
Continents. In addition, at the beginning of your turn you will receive
armies for each continent you control. (To control a continent, you must
occupy all its territories at the start of your turn.) To find the exact number
of armies you’ll receive for each continent, look at the chart in the lower
left-hand corner of the game board.
