There was a certain point in Charterstone`s design when the rulebook started completely empty. When you opened the box, there was only a small note that said “Read card #1”. Card #1 had a few rules that you could learn, and after understanding them, you took a sticker off the card, stuck it to the rulebook, and moved on to card #2. This is what you will see under this link, the basic rules of the game (PDF format). There are gaps in these rules that will be filled at different points in the campaign, and sometimes you`ll even have new rules that will replace the old ones while you remove a rule sticker from a card and place it in the place assigned to it on the timeline. That`s why the rulebook looks like a collection of cards. Risk and the pandemic have the advantage that many people understand the ground rules. Charterstone does not have that advantage. There is no existing foundation.

So I decided it was extremely important to make the rules organically easier for players over time and even give players control over when new content is unlocked so they don`t get overwhelmed. Also, I created a cheat sheet for the starting rules used by my group (no spoilers). Here it is: docs.google.com/document/d/1RdQx-WEB_3Sxdtai36X0BhRJfh1AIKUA8wlPpNYqpRg/edit?usp=sharing A) If I remember correctly, you only get one reward for each victory. You can name a continent OR get a big city OR a barrier, etc. Don`t stick to the same faction every time. This is not how the game is supposed to be played and you will destroy your experience. Design them according to the rules you specify. Risk is a military strategy board game in which you fight to conquer the world. As you conquer continents, your military strength increases. To win, you must employ careful strategies to attack others, defend yourself on all fronts, and control vast continents. However, overwhelm your armies across the globe and there is a risk that your enemies will attack and take control! So I chose this game and I have a next session with some friends, and I just want the rules to be completely set to get an idea of what I`m doing! I`ve read the rules and discovered other threads that have helped me, but I have a handful of other questions.

If an expert is happy to be willing to mess anything up without messing up (which I know you won`t do! :)), that would be great. One of my favorite features of Risk Legacy (and later Pandemic Legacy) was that it was really easy to play the first game. It helped me that I took a lot of risks when I was a kid, but there were also these big loopholes in the rules where stickers were then placed. Rob Daviau could have introduced a dozen new rules starting with Game 1, but instead he slowly unraveled them and diverted players into new systems through the joy of discovery. That was awesome. We tested this for a while, but I realized that when rules are introduced in this way, there is a much greater chance that players will miss something important than if there was a basis for them. So I moved some rules into the rulebook – now called Chronicle – while unlocking some other cards via the system described above. As stated on page 1 (which I revealed last week in this group), the game encourages at least one player to read the timeline before Game 1. Reduced pleasure.

Although I am only in the 8th round, it is highly recommended not to play against the same team. I don`t want to spoil anything, but as much as humanly possible, stick to what the rules say. Risk Legacy – it`s as you remember, only Risk Legacy has future mechs and weapons! How will you shape your world? In Risk Legacy, every game you play changes every future game. A decision you make in game 1 could haunt you in game 10. The risks you take in Risk Legacy are not like in any other board game. How to play the rules of the board game Risk – simple reference guide to start your game quickly. You and other players will determine how your world unfolds: their history, their cities, even their factions, and how they fight. Cards and stickers come into play.

The cards will be out of play forever. You don`t forget the betrayal of the past – and neither does gambling. In Risk Legacy, you unlock new rules and watch events unfold as you play games. No two games are the same. Play your game. Write your own story. 3. I noticed that the rules say that before each game, the selection of the faction is done by the highest roll of the dice, and then clockwise. Is there any extra or reduced fun if all players stayed with the same faction for all 15 games? In particular, the “inherited” thing seems to have more influence if everyone is still one faction. I highly recommend reviewing the rules a second time.

It`s a bit tricky, but some things done wrong can have a big negative impact. Then, place 1 “neutral” army on any “neutral” territory. Whatever you do, do not remove the insert from the box. Believe me. B. The other one stays and can be used by any future winner while it`s still around. Rodney from Watch It Played also has a detailed How to Play video that you can watch ahead of time or play and pause during your first game of chartstone: announce the area you are attacking and the one from which you will attack, roll the dice against the defender of the attacked territory, you and the defender must announce the number of dice, that you want to rollYou and the defender must roll the dice at the same time. You, the attacker, will roll 1, 2 or 3 red dice. You must have at least one more army in your territory than the number of dice you roll. The defender rolls 1 or 2 white dice: To roll 2 dice, he must have at least 2 armies in the attacked area. Once all the armies have been placed on the board, flip the two “Wild” cards in the RISK deck, shuffle the deck, and start playing. Each player`s turn consists of three stages: obtaining and placing new armies; Attack a territory (if you want) and strengthen your position.

The first set was exchanged – 4 armiesThe second set was exchanged – 6 armiesThe third set was exchanged – 8 armiesThe fourth set was exchanged – 10 armiesThe fifth set was exchanged – 12 armiesThe sixth set was exchanged – 15 armiesAfter the sixth set, each set exchanged is worth 5 more. c. Small towns are not an exclusive starting point, are they? In turn, you can attack any area adjacent to you. When you attack “neutral” territory, your opponent rolls to defend it. “Neutral” armies cannot attack and never receive reinforcements during the game. At the beginning of the turn, calculate the armies you can add to your territories based on 1. Number of territories controlled (total divided by 3 rounded down)2.

Value of controlled continents3. Value of the corresponding set of risk cards exchanged4. Specific area image on a traded card Thanks for the answers Mate 🙂 Very popular and will probably also get some of these ultra-fine Sharpies. Eliminate your opponent`s armies and control his territories. You don`t have to eliminate and conquer “neutral” armies and territories. Risk is a military strategy board game in which you fight to conquer the world. Your strength grows with each successful conquest. Players use strategies to attack others, defend their territories, and control vast continents. 3) You won`t want to stay with the same faction every time. Trust me. 2. Will scar cards be dealt out and used during Game 1? I don`t think anyone has answered question 7 exactly: You don`t need to hold the coin cards in your hand to claim the red star for emptying that pile.

When you spend a coin card from your hand, it goes into the discard pile, NOT into the coin card pile. If all the coin cards have been spent this way, THEN you can put them all back in the coin card pile. Man, this game is evil! I want to know what`s underneath, but we haven`t unlocked it yet! We used ultrafine Sharpie dots (each of us took on a color constantly) and they`re pretty cheap: smile.amazon.com/Sharpie-Permanent-Markers-Colored-37172/dp/B000EFKE34/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402061577&sr=8-3&keywords=sharpie+ultra 4. Headquarters placement can go anywhere except right next to another player, but it would usually be bad to go very close to someone else, right? Stop your attacks at any time. If you have conquered at least one area, first take the top RISK card from the draw stack. There are 6 armies that contain 3 categories of army guns: it depends entirely on how your party plays and changes from game to game. Remember that “conquering” only refers to the killing of an enemy. One. Will the winning rewards actually run out after Game 6? As the 5 major cities and reinforcement shields will go from game 5 and the continent name bonus from game 6. Is it mostly rockets after that? (Apart from secret things I don`t know) If you eliminate an opponent by defeating his last army on the board, you earn his RISK cards.
