Risk Game Strategy (part 1 of 9)

Risk game strategies. Risk is a relatively simple game to learn, but requires some skill to actually win consistently.

This 1 hour strategy guide for the game of Risk, will hopefully take any player (even a novice) to a level where they can really compete in EVERY game they play in.

This Risk video acts as an explorer for the videos in the series.

In the strategy series I cover which ruleset is now considered standard, continent selection, opening strategies, risk dice odds (including large scale battles), the opening move, diplomacy, how to wait for opportunities and how to handle the mid game to end game transition.

Each topic goes into relatively a lot of detail and you'll find lots of little tips and nuggets of information within each episode.

I hope you enjoy this series and it benefits your playing of Risk. Do comment and let me know what you think.

Winning is nothing in this game. The only real way too win is to be the only person in the game to not get super pissed

@MultiJello123 ha ha. I know what you mean. Well why not step back and look at it as a shared experience? As far as I'm concerned you can't force a win, it depends on who works with who more than anything, so with that pressure off I can (try to) enjoy the pantomime and maybe, just maybe sneak a win at the end.
