The cards can be cashed in. You need 3 for a set.

Flat rate cards: you need one of the following sets:-

3 x green = 6 armies
3x red = 4 armies
3x blue = 8 armies

Or one of each lets you cash a 10 set

Esculating cards:-

All the sets cash for the same amount but it goes up on each cash in

4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc etc

Hope this helps a little more bro

how did they figure out the escalating numbers?

by **KoolBak** on Tue Dec 05, 2006 7:58 pm

I believe it is the same as the risk game, ie, starts at 4 and incres by 2 till 12, then to 15, then incres by 5 forever.

Maybe thats a question for lacky

he just follow'd original risk rules i suppose

If your having trouble i suggest tr0ys greacemonkey script. It tells you what the cash in are worth for you and in esc it tells you what the next cash it worth. It also tells you the amout of cars your oppenants have

ha ha, original risk...i played with my own rules, thank you...the cards you cashed in were worth however many armies you had that weren't on the board...made the game more exciting...cause when one person cashed, everyone got to put their troops out...anyway, thanks...i was looking at it, wondering how the hell that would work as a math equation...it doesn't, it just took someone else to point that out...

They forgot to mention if the name of the country is in bold type it means you own that country and will get an extra 2 armies on that country.
