    Default Tell us your Risk strategy.

    Do you play Risk? Are you a beginner or an expert? Do you play with modified rules? What's your patented game-winning strategy? Will this thread get any replies?

    You must have Australia. If you have Austalia, you almost always win the game.

    I usually go for Asia and then lose the game trying to maintain it. I can't help it, man, I want Asia.

    Asia is better than trying to hang on to Europe.

    Actually, it seems that the person who has Australia always loses when me and my friends play.

    Risk used to be my favorite board game, but now it's not allowed in the house. My family...gets really into it. There are still sore feelings over the War of 1998. There I am, in a nifty alliance with my cousins and BAM! They're invading America. Backstabbing bastards.

    I tend to try and take Africa first. Europe I can usually hold as well. South America may be the best thing to start out with, If you can secure a small foot-hold in either N. America or Africa.

    South America first. Then I work my way to Australia. Africa is easy to destroy from South America. Then you move on to Europe. With the troops every turn from Australia, Africa and South America it is easy to make Europe fall. From there you must do a pincer attack on NA. Europe will not last long against an Asia - NA 2 sided attack. Get a path from Europe to SA through NA to move troops. Now you can let Australia fall once NA is taken over. Let them waste troops taking that over. While you reclaim Europe and amass troops to take down Asia. All out attack on the boarders. You win.

    I have a foolproof strategy.
    I just attack whatever I want, and if I sense they're winning, I pepperspray them.

    I'm a rather defensive player, so I tend to stay chained to europe and, while not really ever losing it, I don't gain a hell of alot either.

    I use the genius strategy of not playing Risk and avoiding people who do.

    Strategy:
    a) If I told you, I wouldn't be able to use it. Duh.

    b) Just give me a nuke or ten.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.
