Welcome to the world of RISK. It’s exciting. It’s unpredictable. It’s all about battling your way to global domination, one territory at a time. And it’s easier to learn than you might think.

RISK doesn’t give you a whole lot of rules to remember, and that gives you the freedom to focus on your strategy. That’s one of the features that makes RISK so much fun to play.

You’ll decide things like where to place your troops, where to attack, who to attack, and how often to attack. But when it comes to easing you into the game, don’t worry – we’ve got your back!
In short, you control territories by having troops in them.

You get more troops at the start of your turn and put them on the board.

You use your troops to attack other players and conquer their territories.

At the end of your turn, you set up a few troops to defend your territories and you may or may not get to draw a card.
Launch the game from the launcher menu then choose ‘play game’ from the main menu.

Setup your game next, choosing the rules that suit you best – from objectives to fortification rules. Then choose how many players – you can have any combination of human and AI opponents. We suggest using auto-setup until you are used to the rules of the game
At the start of the game, the world is divided amongst the players and initial troops are set-up. There are two ways of doing this – automatic or manual.

In manual setup, players take it in turns to claim territories by adding a single troop to them. When all of the territories are taken, players place their remaining armies in territories they own (again one by one) until all are placed.

However, you can choose to automate this process instead. Territories are handed out to players and troops are assigned to those territories randomly.
Each player takes it in turns to play. There are three phases to a turn – Draft, Attack and Fortify.

In the draft phase you earn troops for every territory you own and gain troop bonuses for owning entire continents. You can also trade in any territory cards earned in the attack phase for more troops.

In the attack phase you can choose to attack any number of adjacent enemy territories (as long as you have the troops. Choose the number of dice you want to roll and attack. Press X to auto attack and resolve combat faster, but remember there’s no retreating once you have auto-attacked.

In the Fortify phase, move as many troops as you’d like from one of your territories into another of your connected territories.
There are three different objectives – World Domination, Capitals and Secret Missions.

In World Domination you must control every territory to win.

In Captitals, each player places a capital in a territory at the start of the game and you must control them all to win.

In Secret Missions, each player receives a secret mission (such as control America and Africa) and must complete their mission before anyone else to win.
