Prominent Differences From Classic Risk
- Only five players (classic Risk seats six)
- Addition of water and moon territories
- Addition of commanders (land, naval, space, nuclear, diplomat)
- Command card decks corresponding to each of the five commanders
- Players earn and spend "energy" to obtain commanders, cards, space stations, and to activate some command cards
- Players can roll an 8-sided-die in some instances
- Armies are not acquired through card trading
- The game is only 5 years (turns) long; the winner is the player with highest score at the end of the last year
- Players bid energy to determine turn order rather than following the same order determined by a dice from the beginning of the game.

Famous quotes containing the words prominent, differences and/or classic:
“The soldier here, as everywhere in Canada, appeared to be put forward, and by his best foot. They were in the proportion of the soldiers to the laborers in an African ant-hill.... On every prominent ledge you could see England’s hands holding the Canadas, and I judged from the redness of her knuckles that she would soon have to let go.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
