WORLD DOMINATION RISK FOR 2 PLAYERS

Read the complete World Domination rules first.

This version is played like regular RISK with one important 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 2-player version much the same strategic

flavor as the regular RISK game.

SETUP

INITIAL ARMY PLACEMENT

You and your opponent each select a complete set of armies. Then either of

you selects a third set to be “neutral.” Take 40 Infantry pieces from each of

the 3 sets and claim territories in the following manner:

Remove the Secret Mission cards and the 2 “wild” cards from the RISK

card deck. Shuffle thoroughly and deal the cards, face down, into 3 equal

piles. Both you and your opponent choose a different pile. The

remaining pile is “neutral.”

Place one of your Infantry onto each of the 14 territories shown on the

RISK cards in your pile. Your opponent does the same. Then place one

“neutral” Infantry onto each of the remaining 14 “neutral” territories.

After every territory on the board has been claimed, you and your

opponent take turns placing your remaining armies: Place 2 Infantry

onto any 1 or 2 of the territories you occupy. Then place 1 “neutral”

army onto any “neutral” territory you want, placing it to block your

opponent’s possible advance.

To complete game SETUP:

4. After all the armies have been placed on the board, return the two “wild”

cards to the RISK card deck, shuffle the deck and start to play.

NB. On the computer game version, cards and army placement is handled automatically.

ATTACKING

On your turn, you may attack any territory adjacent to one of your own.

Whenever you attack a “neutral” territory, your opponent rolls to defend

that “neutral” territory.

“Neutral” armies cannot attack and never receive reinforcements during

the game.

WINNING

To win, be the first to eliminate your opponent by capturing all of his or her

territories. You do not have to eliminate the “neutral” armies.

Usually, all “neutral” armies are eliminated before the end of the game. If

this happens, don’t worry. Play continues until one player defeats the other.
