FAQs
How many players can play RISK?
The game is designed for 2 to 5 players.
How is combat resolved?
Combat is resolved by comparing the highest dice rolls of the attacker and defender.
Can you play a shorter version of the game?
Yes, using the provided Mission cards allows players to end the game once a specific, objective-based goal is achieved, which is often faster than total world conquest.
Is the board durable?
The board is made of heavy-duty cardboard and is designed for long-term use.
Are the mission cards mandatory?
You can play via 'World Conquest' (eliminating all opponents) or using the included Mission cards for a more structured, objective-based experience.
Troubleshooting
Missing game pieces
Check the box contents against the inventory list in the rulebook. Store units in sealed bags after each game to avoid losing them.
Disagreement on rules during combat
Always keep the rulebook accessible during play and designate one player as the 'referee' for specific dice-roll interactions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
