Random Events Generator

Created by Edward A. Liske

What follows is a random events generator for the Game of Risk.

Directions: the players decide how often they want an event to occur during the course of the game (ex: once every other turn). When an event happens one person rolls all five dice and notes the sum of all five dice. Look for the sum on the table below to determine what event occurs and use the random territories table to determine what territory is affected unless otherwise noted in the event instructions. Follow the instructions that follow for that event on the next few pages.

Events

Use random territories tables except where noted. A territory may not be lowered to zero armies by anything other than a meteor strike.

Meteor strike (small):

-use random ocean/land tables

-hits water: all territories around that body of water lose half of their armies rounded up.

-hits land: epicenter territory loses 3/4 of its armies rounded up. All adjacent territories lose ¼ of their armies rounded up.

-if battlefield nuclear weapons are in play, and there is one in any of the territories affected that territory loses all armies instead and all adjacent territories lose half of there armies. If a BNW is in the epicenter terr. Then double the range of the effects. Doesn’t come into effect if meteor hits water.

-territories that lose all of its armies become wastelands. Any armies there lose 1 army each turn (Each turn means one army is lost during anybodies turn).

Meteor strike (Large):

-use random ocean/land tables

-hits water: all territories around that body of water lose all but one of their armies rounded up.

-hits land: epicenter territory loses all of its armies. All adjacent territories lose half of their armies rounded up.

-BNW and wasteland rules apply

Meteor strike (Doomsday):

-does not matter where it hits because the game is over. All armies are wiped off the board. Up to people playing how they want to decide the winner.

Unexpected Reinforcements:

-roll for two territories

-roll one die to determine the number of armies gained in each territory affected.

Tornado:

-territory loses 1 army

Hurricane:

-if random territory comes up with a territory where hurricanes are impossible than nothing happens

-roll 1 die. That is the number of troops lost in territory rounded up.

-may not attack into or out of territory until start of next event.

Drought:

-roll 1 die and divide by 3. That is the number of troops lost in territory rounded up.

Dust storm:

-may not attack into or out of territory until start of next event next turn.

Blizzard:

-if random territory comes up with a territory where blizzards are impossible then blizzard becomes a dust storm.

-roll 1 die and divide by 2. That is the number of troops lost in territory rounded up.

-may not attack into or out of territory until start of next event.

Flood:

-roll 1 die. That is the number of troops lost in territory.

Earthquake:

-roll 1 die and add 1. That is the number of troops lost in territory.

Super volcanic eruption:

-territory affected loses all but one of its armies.

-may not attack into or out of territory until start of next event.

-all other territories in the same continent lose 2 armies.

Volcanic eruption:

-roll 1 die and add 4. That is the number of troops lost in territory.

Tsunami (ocean wide):

-roll for random ocean.

-all territories surrounding that ocean lose 1/4 th of their armies rounded up

Tsunami:

-if random territory comes up with a territory that doesn’t border an ocean then nothing happens

-roll 1 die and add 3. That is the number of troops lost in territory.

Rebellion:

-troops in affected territory must fight a certain number of armies that are rebelling against them. The rebellion gets the attack die and attack to the last army. You get the defense die. If rebellion wins, then the territory becomes neutral.

Terrorist attack:

-each player rolls a dice. The player with the highest roll gets to choose the territory to be affected. Roll 1 die and add 3 to determine the number of armies lost in territory.

Desertion:

-roll 1 die to determine number of armies lost in territory.

-for every turn afterward until the next event, or number of armies lost equals zero (whichever comes first), territory loses armies equal in number to the number lost last turn minus 2.

Plague:

-at the start of the next turn territory loses half of its armies and at the start of the second turn it loses ¼ of its armies.

-if infected territory is attacked or attacks before the start of the second turn, attacking or attacked territory is also infected with the plague and starts losing troops at the start of the next turn. The attacked or attacks rule applies to this newly infected territory as well.

-once a territory has been infected it cannot be infected again by the same plague event. It can be infected if a different plague event is the cause.

Civil war:

-troops in territory affected face off against an equal number of enemy troops. Each side has only two dice to fight with and ties go to neither side. Neither side will have an advantage so if one side rolls one die than the other rolls one. Each side fights to the last man. If the enemy side wins then territory becomes neutral.

Traders

-after finding the territory affected everyone except the territory’s owner rolls a die. The player with the highest roll gets to take control of the territory as well as all the troops in the territory.

Economic depression

-each player rolls a die. Player that has the lowest roll is the player affected.

-all territories owned by the affected player lose ¼ of their armies rounded up dew to the inability to pay for them.

Wildfire

-roll one die and add 1. That is the number of troops lost in territory.

-cannot attack into or out of territory until start of next event.

Very strong event:

-reroll for event then double the number of armies lost, event includes the territories adjacent to it, and attack ban stays in effect until event after next

-if reroll comes up with traders, civil war, terrorist attack, rebellion, plague, Tsunami, Tsunami (ocean wide), or meteor strike. Roll for two territories for them. Effects are as normal for these events only.

Once in 100 million years event:

-Reroll for event then triple the number of armies lost, event includes the territories two out from target territory, and attack ban stays in effect until second event after next.

-if reroll comes up with traders, civil war, terrorist attack, rebellion, plague, Tsunami, Tsunami (ocean wide), or meteor strike. Roll for three territories. Effects are as normal for these events only.
