cards change colors

[Kid Moe]

So I cash my three card set and one of my cards is Mumbai and it's blue.....I end my turn and I get my card and it's Mumbai again......except it's red...now I know this is not the end of the world but why do the cards change colors because when I played the board game in the past, I don't ever remember the cards changing from a cannon to a horse or a soldier to a cannon

To actually answer your question: you'll get a random colour with a name on it. This name can be any territory not yet owned by a player, unless every territory IS owned, then it'll be a random territory not owned twice etc. This does have the consequence of simplifying the math for the chance of getting a set. In an offline game of Risk you could take into account the cards already cashed to determine how likely you'll get a specific colour, this doesn't apply here.

In your example, you cashed in the card Mumbai which puts Mumbai in the pool of available cards. At the end of your turn, this cards gets drawn again and a random colour assigned to it.

i even seen and had myself that I got different colours on cards with the same name cashed, which also gave some bugs a long time ago, thought they fixed it now though, which made you unable to cash! Lost me a game. But what EW said previously is the correct response. It might seem a bit weird but nothing special in the end.

It puts the lotion in the basket, or else it gets a lesson in logic...

Here's a follow up question on the same subject: If 3xRED=4, 3xGREEN=6 and 3xBLUE=8 in flat rate games, are you more likely to get a RED vs a GREEN, and more likely to get a GREEN over a BLUE or are the odds equal?

The odds are equal, just as in "real life" risk.
