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.

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!

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.

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) kzitem.info/news/bejne/uaVuuIels4pndJgfeature=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!

@@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.

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).

I have a question, for example, if the objective card says that I have to destroy all troops of a color or conquer x number of territory, do I just let the enemy troop die or do I have to destroy the enemy troop? So I have to conquer territories to win?

I do my best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!

I have a question once you reach the end of the board for trading the combination of risk cards you can earn up to 60 and more troops ? My second question is when you take all the risk cards that were placed under the board and reshuffle them as you ran out of them do you start were you left off or do you reset all the way to 4 troops for the first combination and so on ?

The number of dice is based on the number of troops in the battle, but at most you can have 3 attackers and 2 defenders. For example, if you had 2 attackers and 1 defender, you'd roll 2 and 1.

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.

Hi Anton, it's going to be a bit tricky to answer this question, because you're using some terms incorrectly, so I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Why are you saying you can only attack with 3 soldiers? Can you give me the time stamp for the section of video where it says that? Also be sure you're paying attention to the difference between Infantry, Calvary, Artillery and Troops. If you use terms like Soldier or Horse, I would be as confident I know for sure what you're referring to. I have a guess at part of your confusion though, so I'll try to guess at how to answer. A Calvary piece is worth 5 Troops. A Soldier is worth 1 Troop. A Calvary piece is the same as 5 Troops. It's like if you have a 5 dollar bill and a 1 dollar bill. They are still dollars. If you have five 1 dollar bills, it's the same as having one 5 dollar bill. So when you go to buy something worth 2 dollars, you can still use your 5 dollar bill, you'll just get 3 dollar back after. So when you attack with a Calvary piece, is you lose 1 Troop from it, you would just exchange that cavalry piece on the board for 4 soldiers.

I'm not quite sure if I understand the question, so let me put this a different way. At the start of a turn you always gain an amount of troops based on territories, continents, etc, AND you "may" gain more if you trade in sets of cards at that time too. 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 kzitem.info/news/bejne/uaVuuIels4pndJgfeature=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.

@@jasonsalhani4200No worries, I'll re-copy it here: 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.

A cannon is no different than have 10 troop pieces in the space. The cannon just allows you to better manage all the pieces on the board (rather than have 10 individual pieces there to push around, you can replace them with 1 cannon, but those are still the same as 10 troops). It's like the difference between 20 quarters and a 5 dollar bill (meaning, there is no difference, it's the same thing). You'll find this explained in this section: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uaVuuIels4pndJg To your example, for the cannon, you're throw 3 dice, because that's not really 1 canon, that's 10 troops.
