Abstract
Risk is a well-known turn based board game where the primary objective is nothing less than the world domination. Gameplay is based on battles between armies located in adjacent territories on the map of Earth. The combat's outcome is decided by rolling dice, and therefore a probabilistic approach can be taken. Although several results are derived, the conclusions suggest that the gameplay is highly depending on luck.
