This is another variation of the rules of the game Risk. The objective for the Secret Mission Risk Game is to be the first to accomplish the mission given to you or stated in your Mission Card.
This is an interesting but more challenging way of playing the game. This is the only time you will use all the equipments and cards that come with the game and these changes the difficulty, strategies and tactics of the game.
Before the Secret Mission Risk Game
Each player must first select a color to use. Depending on the number of players joining the game, distribute the right amount of armies to each player. The number of armies distributed during the initial set up of the game is the same as the ordinary Global Domination Risk game.
One of the interesting parts of the game is the election of a General. Before the game, one of the participating players will be elected to take this position. The General’s responsibility is to securely distribute the missions to all the players. If the number of participants to the game is less than six, it is also the General’s Responsibility to remove the Mission Cards that correspond to the unused Army Colors. Remember that for this game, the minimum number of players is 3.
The General then shuffles the Secret Mission Cards and deals them to the left. He must deal the cards facing down to maintain secrecy. The unused cards are returned to the box and no one may look at the unused cards.
Once all the Mission Cards are distributed, the General then distributes the Risk cards to all the players, excluding the Wild Cards. These cards will determine which territory a player may occupy during the game. Once all the Risk cards are dealt, the players now will have to place one army to each of his or her territories. When all your territories have an army already, you may now deploy the remaining pieces to your territories according to your liking or strategy.
When all army pieces are placed on corresponding territories, the cards are returned to the Genera. The General then put the Wild Cards back in and shuffles the Deck.
You can now start the game after this. The Game Play is the same as the Global Domination Risk Game.
Winning the Game
Whoever accomplishes his or her Mission first wins the game. To prove that you have won the game, you must show your Secret Mission Card to everyone.
There are cases when other players accidentally help you during the Secret Mission Game. Even so, if your Mission was accomplished because of this accidental help, you are still considered the victor of the game. An example of this is when your mission is to eliminate a certain color of armies and one of the other players eliminated the last territory with that particular color that you are supposed to eliminate.
When this happens, you then become the victor of the game with the accidental help of another player.
