What is the point of playing if you're just going to sit on a territory and collect cards? There needs to a troop limit on territories

 I prefer playing fixed card games with 6 players but holy lord, there are so many players that just get control of a continent and then collect cards.


If there's a Mexican standoff between 3-4 players and everyone just sits collecting cards because no one has an advantage.....guess what?  20 turns from now you'll still be collecting cards and no on will have an advantage.  The game will last forever if no one makes a move!


I swear I lose more games because of sheer boredom than skill or bad luck.  I don't know how or why people sit there attacking the same territory over and over to build up troops when their opponents are doing the exact same thing.


Players that sit and build up troops in Australia by attacking, collecting a card and then retreating are the worst.  They end up with a massive amount of troops in that one area.  They won't attack and nobody dares attack them.  What's the point of playing if you're going to do that crap?


There really needs to be a timer on games or rules that set a limit on the number of troops you can have on one territory.


The game is called RISK not CARD COLLECTING.

Hey is anyone else feeling like the bot has a vendetta against only you?? Ive had bots on different games seem to single me out when im in doing ok.. But everyone else is doing better then me and doesn't make sense why bot would even come at me when it could do more damage to someone else that would benefit the bot to not single me out.. Especially when playing against a person using 2 accounts..
Limiting troops would ruin the game and just make them build a second stack on another territory
Samuel you're right these people have no idea how this game works and if they think it's long they'd never survive the board game. There is a time to attack and a time not to attack, theres also tactics to get the game moving when it stalls.
Also, if there was a limit to how many troops can be on one territory-(say fifty for example), then what do you think would happen if every enemy next to you maxed out. It would be the same problem if not worse. Like in history, when two powerful entities collide, EVERYONE dies.
I disagree. That's the benefit of free will and it is a strategy. It's called risk because you take the chance of losing your army Everytime you attack. If it was supposed to be easy then they would have called it something else. I've been playing the original risk board game for many years before I downloaded it on my phone. This has never been a quick game and for those that do like a quicker game, the smg studios have made many quicker versions and maps for the attempt of Making everyone happy. Try a different version.

Jason is right. The new AI from a week or two ago does not attack anyone. So I quit playing because it's so boring.
