Introduction:
RISK is THE classic strategic board game of world domination. Each player starts with a set number of troops and territories. You allocate troops to your territories, declare war on adjacent enemies, and expand your empire. True to the original, battles rely on a series of dice rolls. The player with more troops in the battle has the advantage, but no battle is a certainty. Defending the territories you control is just as vital as planning your next attack. You can play up to five CPU opponents at a time on one of three difficulty levels, or engage in both pass-and-play or local (Wifi) multiplayer with friends. Currently the game is listed at $2.99 in the marketplace and is yet another Xbox for Windows Phone game that is exclusive to Nokia Lumia phones.
NOTE: You can check your progress towards every cumulative achievement in the game by selecting Achievements from the Main Menu. No progress towards any of the achievements can be made in Multiplayer.
Step 1: Go for 20 wins:
The majority of the achievements will unlock without much attention along the way to winning a total of 20 games. Once you become familiar with the game, make sure you win one game on each on the games three difficulties and also with the other special requirements (see the Win-Related Achievements section). Focus on picking up all of the miscellaneous achievements in these games as well.
Step 2: Mop-up:
You will likely get all of the achievements on your path to winning 20 games. However, if you still have a couple of the miscellaneous achievements left, finish those off.
Conclusion:
The only slightly difficult part of this completion is winning a game on the highest difficulty and also winning a game in your first 6 turns. It is not that bad, and once you become familiar with the game mechanics and develop some good strategies/techniques, it will take but a few tries.
