Hi! I got this game today from my secret santa, and I'm already eager to play. But I'd like to ask to questions first:One is about the kind of group that can play this game most enjoyably. It seems that the optimal group would be five regular players. But my group is quite dynamic in it's members. Actually I kind of have two groups (although both don't meet in any regular fashion). I guess the best idea would be to play the game exclusively with one group?
The other question is a small but important rules question. I have never played regular risk (yes I know, the shame) so I need to clarify a point that isn't clear in the rules. I understand that when attacking you can't abandon the attacking territory but what about the expanding? It doesn't seem to put the same limitation. Generally it seems that the world will become full after some turns and then it can generally never become non-full again (without special effects I'm not aware of). It's just that in other games it seems that a key strategical choice is when to abandon territories and it doesn't really exist here.
