11 Winning Strategies to Beat Other Risk Players

1. The rules should be understood by the players. They should be sure to play the same version of Risk that everyone else is playing as there are numerous editions and variations of the game.
2. Australia is an easy-to-hold continent that is beneficial to control early in the game. Players can receive the continent bonus, and there is only one point of attack from outside the continent. With only two points of attack, South America is nearly as effective.
3. When a player has control of an entire continent, their army's role is to defend the attack's strategic sites much more so than the less exposed interior nations.
4. Because possessing a continent makes a player an appealing target for other players to assault, players shouldn't bother conquest a complete continent unless they believe they can keep it for at least a full turn.
5. Players must be careful not to let other players control continents while also taking care not to overly weaken themselves in the process.
6. Players should assault whenever possible with a huge army rather than a medium-sized one.
7. When using mission cards, it is preferable for players to begin by pursuing an entire continent. Once the player has forces at their disposal, they can pursue their objective.
8. Players might take precautions to ensure that they don't make it clear what their purpose is when attempting to complete a mission. The player's opponents will find out if they don't hide their intentions.
9. Players can keep their cards for as long as possible if they are playing with growing card redemption values, which is the general practice in most versions. This is especially true when the game first starts.
10. At any time during the game, players can keep their wild cards for as long as they can.
11. When choosing how many dice to roll while defending a nation, players should always roll as many as they can. This raises the likelihood of their defense succeeding.

Risk is a solo endeavor. If alliances do exist, they are always ad hoc. Players of the board game must be careful not to overextend themselves because other players might easily sweep through and annex all of their one-army countries.
