2 newb questions

[Dvd Avins]

1: How can I tell what type my cards are when I don't yet have a match (or when it's not my turn)?

2: In the Parker Brothers rules that I have, you can only get the 2 bonus armies for having the territory on the card you turn in on one card per set. But most people I know aren't aware of that rule. Is it implemented here, or would I get the bonus on each of two or thre if I have the territories?

1)right below the map it shows you your cards. you get a set by them being 3 different colors or 3 of the same colors

2)you get two bonus armies added to the territories if you have the territory that is on the card so..yes it is implemented here

The color of the cards is used to make a match. So three red, three green, or three blue, or one of each. Read the rules section for how the flat rate and escalating card values work. Escalating is very similar to the board game.

If you have all three territories of the cards you turn in (the cards will be bolded) you will get 2 armies on each, so it is not exactly the same as the board game rules.

Sorry for offtopic but...
I wonder if the real board game rules are different in different countries. Because in my boardgame's rules the cards is flat rate and if you cash the card of country you own then you have to put the 2 troops to the territory that card you had.

Dvd Avins, welcome and enjoy!

Actually -> it's not so much countries but versions...

I believe the very first Risk was "escalating"... and later versions were "flat rate"...

However I believe that there is some discussion about Defence Dice differences across different countries... I wonder if this is due to intentional differences from the makers -> or translation problems that have propagated through time...

And the DD difference - probably translation. Most common way to mess up thing IMO

[jennifermarie]

translation mess-ups are even more fun when they come with instructions on how to build furniture...

[amazzony]

And they (=translations) are absolutely intolerable when there's something to do with computers.
For example, I can't use Estonian Windows XP because I do not understand a single command even if my mother tongue is Estonian. This is sick
