one-player Risk

Each player takes 40 armies and alternately places one army on an unoccupied territory until each has occupied 14 territories.

How do you play Risk board game single player?

Can 2 players play Risk?

This version is played like regular Risk with one crucial exception: Along with your armies and those of your opponent, there are also “neutral” armies on the board that act as a buffer between you and your opponent. This feature gives the two-player version much the same strategic flavor as the regular RISK game.

Is Risk game good for 2 players?

A two player game is doable but can’t be as good as a 6 player, the more players the more fun. Risk is a chance based game as is but with only two players, too much would be the result of the combination of territories you get when dealing the cards.

Is it better to defend with one or two in Risk?

The final column shows the troop loss ratio per die. If you look at each pair of rows then you can compare the defender rolling one or two dice. In each case the defender’s troop loss per die roll is decreased by rolling two dice, so it is always theoretically better to roll two dice.

Do you have better odds attacking or defending in Risk?

Large battles slightly favor the attacker: on average, the defender loses 1 more army every 6.3 rolls. A “large battle” is one where both the attacker and defender are rolling the maximum number of dice, i.e. the attacker has at least 3 armies and the defender has at least 2.

What is the best continent in Risk?

Australia. Australia, also composed of four territories, is perhaps the best choice. Not only can it be taken in the first round—it, too, has only four territories, but it has but one border to defend. A player who takes Australia early on often holds it for the remainder of the game, collecting bonus armies all along.

Can you abandon a country in Risk?

Yes, you can clear out a territory. In my last game, the player who controlled Africa in its entirety played “The Mother” (a Nuclear card that forces removal of 1 MOD from every territory on a continent determined by die roll) and, you guessed it, lost control of all but 1 or 2 of his territories in Africa. :P.

Are Risk dice weighted?

Each player rolls a different weighted 12-sided die depending on the number of troops the player has (see table). The attacker wins on a tie.

What color is Europe in Risk?

They are standard six-sided dice in all red. It’s more the homogenous use of the colour red that disappoints as I have had other risk games where they have used one colour for the attacker and another for the defender.
