Play a Lord of the Rings fantasy wargame using the system featured in Memoir 44, Battlelore, and Command & Colors games by Richard Borg. If the Territory card you exchange corresponds to a territory you already control, you get 2 additional battalions.

A little more effort from the designers could have produced a much deeper and better gaming experience, particularly in regards to the Adventure cards. I can easily envision a game that uses different types of cards – Event cards, Mission cards, and Resource/Power Cards – with different triggers for drawing each, and the need to make meaningful decisions as to which to draw. But ah, it is not to be, at least in this game.

IV. Collect A Territory Card

The game includes Territory cards, Adventure cards, and Battalions. The Adventure cards can help or hinder a quest, offer secret missions, or make a difference in strategy To get the full Risk: Lord of the Rings experience, you have to throw the whole game in a fire every time you play. In "Team Risk", the teams work together and either win or lose as a team. This is the version that can end in the very first turn and it receives much criticism for that fact (setup can take up to an hour with first-time players and then the game could end in 5 minutes). Fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise who are less interested in the mechanics of Standard Risk will likely enjoy this version the most because it more closely resembles the strategies of the forces of Middle Earth. In this version, the Fellowship path is the most important factor and must be cherished by both good and evil as their main priorities. At the end of each turn, if the Ring is in a territory controlled by evil, they have a chance to find the ring and win the game; roll two dice, add 1 if there's a leader in the same territory, add 1 if evil controls the entire region, if there's a leader and evil owns the entire region add 2 (the rules are ambiguous about whether this is intended to allow a max bonus of 2 or 4), if the total including bonuses equals or exceeds 12, the One Ring is found and evil wins. As the Ring progresses closer to Mount Doom, the regions where the Ring has been are no longer as important and the regions where it will be (especially Mordor) will become the most important areas of the game. Points do not matter in this version, only total destruction of the enemy or the fate of the One Ring will determine the winner of "Team Risk".

Many of the official versions of Risk listed above have their own rules which may differ slightly or even significantly from the original game of Risk. If the One Ring lands on land with a die, you must roll the die and land a “3” to continue. Otherwise, you stay put. If a tie remains, then it’s the player who has accumulated the highest number of Adventure card points.Players can choose to use The Risk: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition gameboard to play the standard Risk game, or play additional versions listed in the instructions Risk!

The Hutts must take control of 10 out of the 13 designated resource planets on the board. The moment one of these victory conditions has been met by the respective faction, the game is over and that faction has won. Important note: You always receive a minimum of 3 reinforcement battalions even if you control less than 9 territories.

Each player rolls one die, with the highest roll going first. This player places one battalion in a territory that is vacant. This player now owns this territory.
