    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.

    • @Dexelele

      wait, haven't you said in the video that you can only attack with a maximum of 3 troops at a time? how can you attack with more than that?

      this is taken from the post above, that would imply that you can attack with more than three troops. But maybe I'm just confusing myself ^^

      @@Dexelele Ah, thanks for quoting that. I see where the confusion is coming from. The way the video describes the attacking rules is correct. In the pinned post above I’m trying to explain how the different types of pieces are just different amounts of troops, and so I use language related to attacking, but I should have just said 1 cavalry on a space is the same as 5 troops on a space, so it wouldn’t be confused as me trying to give a new rule about attacking.

    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!

    Just finished your amazing hour and a half ramble with Quinns and it was brilliant. The “you smile too much” comment you get is funny, because at first I had the same thought. But then I tried my hand at a couple rule overview videos for my friends, prepping for Twilight Imperium, keeping it straight and no-nonsense. Whewwww, rewatching those, I instantly realized you HAVE to smile, be energetic, and hold a solid pace… or the entire thing is a drudge for people to watch. Thanks for all you do, and feel free to grin as wide as you like :)

    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.

    We always played with a random starting locations at set up, determined by card draw. It is only now that I realize we house ruled this in at some point, vs it being in the rule book. Its crazy how these old games take on a life of their own for individual families or gaming groups.

      There's nothing wrong with house rules. Your rule was an optional rule in the rulebook of every version I've come across. It speeds up the game a little, but I prefer selecting my territories in my own. It's not really an issue though because I'm just going to put all my reinforcements into the closest territory to Australia anyway.

Does the number on the track of the board add to a players received troops from territory cards, and if so, what if a player has ran out of troops to add to the board?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 года назад +1

      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).
      If you run out of troop to add, just use a suitable replacement (or use a player color not being used in the game you are in).

    When you have a card that matches one of your territory’s, can you use it alone to get two new troops or must it be in a set? And also do the new troops go directly to that matching territory or can you put them anywhere? And also, is there an option to retreat when getting attacked?

    So when it comes to the territory cards is it sets of a combination? So say for instance you have a set of one combination and you put it under the board to receive four troops, you Need a second set of the same combination to receive six? I feel like that is how the instructions read.

      Horses, soldiers and cannons are all troops. They just represent different amounts of troops (which you'll find explained in the video). It's like the difference between a 1, 5 and 10 dollar bill. They are still all bills and work the same way. Hope that helps!

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 года назад

      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.

  • @ingowen

    So, always is 3 vs 2 dice? is not dependant of the number of troops that are attacking and defending? also... an unpaired attacking / defending dice is not an automatic victory and 1 unit removal for the rival?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 года назад +1

      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.

I wasn't sure if you were limited to attacking multiple times from the initial territory you attacked with.

    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 ?

      If you have to reshuffle the cards that were under the board, you still continue to place new sets where you left off (you don't reset back to the beginning of the troop rewards).

    Is it possible to use defeated infantries when i ran out of infantry to place in my turn?
    2) The maneuvering must be done before attack or after?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  Год назад

      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).

  • @MrVenom5150

    Thanks Rodney, great video, I just have a question please, at the start of a turn, do i collect the amount of additional Troops (based on territories, continents etc) as well as the amount of 3 card sets I turned in to gain extra troops? I know one collects the extra troops based on territories / continents occupied at every turn, but do I get the additional troops for the cards turned in as well-4,6,8 etc?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  6 месяцев назад +1

      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 ruclips.net/video/Xo8RSozX6Ac/видео.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.
