This is an improved version of the game “Risk”. Risk is a strategical game for two to six players. In which the players first have to secure their territories by placing their troops, turn by turn. The standard version is played on a board. In Risk, the board is divided into six continents having forty two territories. Players can form and dissolve alliances during the game. The players turn by turn have to attack the opponents, and the result is decided by rolling a dice or two(probability) and taking into account number of troops on the attacking territory and the defending territory.
In our improved version we have made certain changes to make it more interesting. We would start by having four kingdoms. Each player gets a kingdom to rule. Who is to start first is decided by a roll of dice, the highest roll starts first. Each player will be given 4 troops having 20 soldiers each. The soldiers are classified as weak and strong. In each troop there can be only 13 weak and 7 strong soldiers. To attack the opponent, the player can only do so by a specific entry point. A player has to attack with a minimum of 2 troops. Along the boundary of the kingdoms there will be a valley where players can sneakily send their soldiers. But through the valley player can send only one troop.
In the kingdoms there would be three cities: Food, Weaponry, Horses. The city in control of food is responsible for reinforcements. If the opponent destroys the ‘food city’, then reinforcements will be stop to the kingdom taking damage. If ‘weaponry’ is destroyed then weapons cannot be upgraded. Once the ‘horses city’ is destroyed, then that will affect the movement of the player. The city with food will give higher immunity to soldiers on its boundary than other blocks.
Once two kingdoms start battle, the outcome will be decided by a roll of dice and the values will be compared to the corresponding table made for odds (probabilistic odds). To destroy a whole kingdom the opponent must destroy and capture atleast two cities first. The damage a Kings castle can take is very high and the odds in favour of the castle are high.
The players can have fun by planning out different strategies and make alliances and maybe even betray their alliances for winning.
