what are the rules for cashing in whilst being in the attack phase of my turn.

when i eliminate the last territory of an opponent, i get his cards. when my combined cards is over 5 it automatically lets me cash some in.

What if they are not over 5 cards, but i can still cash some of them in to be used while still being in the attack phase?

Is that possible to do? If so how?

Fast help will be much appreciated, since I am now in the middle of my turn.
Cheers!

(I also asked this in the Q&A forum. I just thought it wasn't getting much exposure there, and I'm in a rush for a reply. Sorry for the dup. Please forgive me.)

You can only cash in mid-turn if you have 5 cards or more. If you have a set with 3 or 4, you can't cash.

if you elim some1 and get 5 or more cards total you can keep cashing in until you run out of sets, if you get a total of 6 cards and have 2 seperate sets you will be able to turn them both in, the second one is an option since you can choose later but you must turn in at least one

ill check the log to see if that did indeed occur.

yes, you CAN do this...

let me make this as clear as i can...

At CC you need 5+ cards to be able to cash mid turn... you have to cash down to no more than 4 cards, but you can cash ALL the sets you have, even if that takes you down to ZERO cards.

In RISK you can cash ANY set mid-turn even if you only have 3 or 4 cards (as long as they make a set)... the rest is the same: you have to cash down to no more than 4 cards, but you can cash ALL the sets you have, even if that takes you down to ZERO cards.

The original version would be a fun option though...completely changes escalating games

Which rule set is that? The one I have says you can cash only if you have 5 or more, and you have to stop when you get below 5. That's the relatively new Risk, circa 1989. Always interesting to see how the game changes. Have you seen the really new board? There's no line between East Africa and Middle East! Really changes it, until you get mad and draw one in.

We had a 1963 game we got at a garage sale that we learned on, so the original rules are what i am used to... it was funny because our parents bought us a new board, but we never used it because we preferred stacking the little wooden blocks that came with the old game... then one day we got a game going with some folks who had only known the '90's version, i went for a chain reaction win... cashing all the way, and they cried foul... but the rule book proved me right that day, so the chain reaction continued... hee hee
