There are 3 different ways to play RISK Game of Thrones:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. SKIRMISH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasic version designed as an introduction to RISK Game of Thrones game play.

DOMINION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvanced version of RISK Game of Thrones including Objectives, Characters, and Maester cards, offering more in-depth strategic action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. WORLD AT WAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlay with both maps and up to seven players using either the Skirmish or Dominion rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRISK Game of Thrones includes two game board maps and seven House armies. Westeros map is for 3-5 player game and Essos map is for 2 player game. There is a deck of territory cards for each map, and these function in a similar way to the original RISK gameplay. When playing Dominion rules, the character cards can grant special abilities to your House, the maester cards can grant tactical advantages during deployment and battles, and objective cards create goals and strategies for earning Victory Points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkirmish rules are most similar to the original RISK rules. There are minor thematic variations to suit the new map. The winner is determined by which player controls the most territories, castles and ports when the end game card is revealed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDominion rules add the additional mechanics and cards described above. Instead of simply trying to control the most territories, castles, and ports you are now trying to achieve specific Objectives to earn Victory Points, furthering your efforts to consolidate power and establish dominion over the rival Houses. Objectives are worth from 1 to 4 Victory Points, based on the difficulty to achieve them. The first player to earn 10 Victory Points while also controlling their Seat of Power wins the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- split01 --\u003e--from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’re glad to back campaigns to bring you games like Risk: Game of Thrones Retail Edition to buy online at TheGameSteward.
