Set up the board with the map of the galaxy and distribute the planets according to the territories indicated in the manual. Players place their initial troops on the planets under their control.

Mechanics of Risk: Star Wars - The Clone Wars Edition

  • Influence / Majority in the Area - In Risk: Star Wars - The Clone Wars Edition, the Influence or Area Majority mechanic is crucial to determining control of territories. Players compete to have the largest presence in various regions of the board, and the one with the most units in an area controls that region, thus gaining strategic benefits and points towards victory. Controlling areas can also provide advantages, such as additional resources, movement points or extra dice in combat.
  • Area Movement - This mechanic deals with how troops are moved around the board. Players can relocate their units between adjacent territories during the turn, planning attacks or reinforcing defensive positions. Strategic movement is vital, because it allows players to increase their influence in specific areas or prepare to start fighting in advantageous locations, while maintaining defenses at critical points on the map.
  • Data Scrolling - Dice rolling in Risk: Star Wars - The Clone Wars Edition is used to resolve combats between players. When attacking, the player rolls a number of dice determined by the number of offensive units, while the defender does the same with his army. The results of the dice determine which units are eliminated, with the highest number on the dice usually indicating success. This mechanic brings an element of luck to the game, requiring players to consider risks and rewards when planning their combat strategies.
