If they knew what they were doing they would have gone to Australia to build up their armies

In my family Australia connects to south america for that reason.

I don't want to take this thread anymore off topic than it is, but how old is this game? When was the last time Thailand was called Siam?

You guys talking about Risk. Never liked that game no matter how many people tried to get me into it.

You must have had a stunted childhood, that would explain it...

[Dan]

Game is pointless otherwise.

Only other option is to drop the armies for Australia down to 1 or none.
Also need to raise Europe to at least 6.

I used to read maps and atlases all the time, plus the encyclopedia. You would think I would love Risk. But no, I never did. I could never sit long enough for the two hours it takes to explain how the stupid set up works.

As far as real board games go, it's one of the simplest for set-up and play.

lol. I've won and lost many games holding Australia..

Im pro raising Europe to a 6.

with your version you should for sure raise Africa to a 4 no?

[Dan]

NA: 5
SA: 2
Africa: 4
Europe: 6
Asia: 7
Australia: 1

Sound good?
I'm dead against house rules in Monopoly, but Risk really needs some modifications like that.

Then how come everybody takes two hours to explain it?
Sorry, I'll stick to Stratego.

europe is ridiculous
each border country is touched by several invading countries. and we used to play with a max of armies in one country. so you put that max in ukraine, and 3 countries come and fight it down

That's why it needs to be at least 6.

Can be attacked from 3 different continents. Should be 4 probably.

I think the mods need to move this out and start a new thread called Risk Strategies.
