Holding Continents for Armies

Risk was invented by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse and published in 1957 as La Conquête du Monde. The board has 42 territories across six continents, and players fight to conquer the world.

Each turn, players receive armies equal to the number of territories they hold divided by three, with a minimum of three. Holding an entire continent adds a bonus: Asia gives 7, North America and Europe 5 each, Africa 3 and South America and Australia 2 each. Australia, with only one entrance, is a classic stronghold.

In battle, an attacker can roll up to three dice and a defender up to two. The highest dice are compared, and ties go to the defender, which makes attacking costly. Trading in sets of cards adds even more armies.
