* ArtificialStupidity: [=EA=]'s iOS port of the game features six computer players, all using the same opening moves. This becomes especially obvious if you choose "Manual" set-up -- the computer will attempt to match the "Automatic" set-up as much as possible, even when doing so is suicidally stupid.

* CurbStompBattle: Usually after a player has turned in their cards for a massive amount number of reinforcements.
** This can become a strategy unto itself: wait until the last moment possible to turn in a set of cards, then destroy your weakest opponent and take ''their'' cards. If you still hold two cards and your enemy holds n+1, you'll very likely be forced to turn in ''another'' set, if not two, leading to a 100+ troop bonus.

Risk is a classic board game centred around commanding armies on a map of the world. The game starts with the random division of the world among up to eight players. Armies are gained according to how much territory each player has, whether they control entire continents, and special cards drawn from a deck. The object of the game is to control the entire world.
''Risk'' has been around for a long time and has many, many spinoffs and expansions. See ThemedStockBoardGame.

* EasyLogistics: Averted. The game places limits on moving armies around between territories you control (exactly what kind of limits depends on which edition of the rules you're playing with). Which means that if you're planning a campaign to conquer a lot of territories, you'll need to think about which route you're going to take and where your forces will end up.
