There are two ways to initialize a board with armies until there is 1 on each territory. See changes to Iteration 1 Features
Overview (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Risk is a commercial turn-based strategy board game produced by Parker Brothers, a division of
Hasbro. It was invented in the early 1950s by the French movie director Albert Lamorisse. Risk
shares many characteristics with wargames, yet relative to other war games, it is simple and
abstract. It makes little attempt to accurately simulate military strategy, nor does it convey an
accurate sense of how large the world is, of how expensive the logistics of long campaigns can
be, and of how good or bad luck can turn the tide at crucial moments of a close-fought military
campaign.
Rules
Though there are many variants on the rules. Here are the Rules of Risk from 1975
The map has 6 continents, each divided into 3 to 12 territories
There are 42 territories total
Deck has 43 cards (one product card will not be used)
3 white dice
3 colored dice

Pick the first player by roll of dice. Each player places one army until all 42 territories are
occupied (this is different than what we talked about in class on 28-Oct). Continue placing
armies, 1 at a time on your own countries. You may many armies on your country.
