        GAME RULES
        
      
TURN STRUCTURE
1. REINFORCE — Receive armies (territories/3, min 3) + continent bonuses + card trade-in bonuses.
2. ATTACK — Attack adjacent enemy territories. Must leave 1 army behind. Dice battles until one side is eliminated.
3. FORTIFY — Move armies between adjacent friendly territories.
CONTINENT BONUSES: Asia +7, N.America +5, Europe +5, Africa +3, S.America +2, Australia +2
RISK CARDS
Conquer 1+ territories = draw 1 card. No conquest = no card.
Sets: 3 same symbol, OR 1 each (Infantry/Cavalry/Artillery), OR 2 + Wild.
Progressive: Trade values escalate globally: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30...
Fixed: 3 same = 4 armies, 1 each = 6, with wild = 8. No escalation.
Per-Player: Each player escalates independently.
5+ cards = MUST trade in. Territory bonus: +2 armies if card matches owned territory.
Eliminate a player = take ALL their cards. Snowball mechanic.
CAPITAL RISK MODE
Each player has a capital territory. Capture a capital = eliminate that player, take ALL their territories.
Last capital standing wins. Games end in ~50-100 turns.
FORTIFY MODES
Adjacent (Classic): Move armies to ONE neighboring territory. One move per turn. Slowest — armies take many turns to reach the front.
Contiguous: Move through your connected territory chain. One move, unlimited distance. Armies reach the front in one turn. Recommended.
Free Movement: Multiple moves per turn through connected territory. Most flexible. Fastest games — armies concentrate instantly.
WIN CONDITIONS
Classic: Control all 42 territories, or most territories at turn limit.
Capital: Last player with a capital wins.
SPEED GUIDE — How to Get Faster Games
Fastest: Capital Risk + Progressive Cards + Free Fortify (~30-60 turns)
Fast: Capital Risk + Progressive Cards + Contiguous Fortify (~50-80 turns)
Medium: Classic + Progressive Cards + Contiguous Fortify (~80-120 turns)
Slow: Classic + No Cards + Adjacent Fortify (~150-200 turns, may stalemate)
Cards are the biggest factor — they force aggression and create army snowballs. Capital mode is the second biggest — instant elimination on capital capture.
