odds of having two sets with 6 or 7 spoils

Fellow CCers,

I apologize if this question has been answered somewhere; I searched but didn't find it.

I know the odds of having a set with 3 cards is 33% and of having a set with 4 cards is roughly 80%, but what are the odds of having two sets with 6 cards? For 7 cards?

I haven't seen this ...

Re: Place an "Average Wait Time" on each persons wall...

How about I spend the first 9 hours of the day at school, the next 4 doing homework, (able to do CC), and the next 8 hours sleeping, repeat. I know that probably doesnt add up to 24, but, the point is that I can get to CC once or twice a weekday, within 4 hours. If i had this on my wall, people ...

Re: immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 c

Fair enough. I'll leave you with this quote, which I find particularly appropos:

"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential." -John Porter

Re: immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 c

Yeah, well, i'm trying to explain this by typing on my phone while sitting at my desk at work. I just don't get how it's a hard concept to grasp. The ability to turn in more sets is advantageous to the attacker. It also enables longer and more runs.

I get that not everyone supports or likes the ...

Re: immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 c

The bold guy is the attacker. Example:

I have 3 cards and 30 troops and no set. You have 4 cards, 30 troops (I don't know if it's a set). Player 3 has 6 troops and 1 card. It is my turn. Next set is 25 guys.

I can take out player 3, but it is almost no benefit to do so because I can't turn in a ...

Re: immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 c

The change would shift the "luck benefit" (I.e., the benefit of having a 3 card set) from the next guy after the bold guy to the bold guy. It would not change the game that much. It would be a small shift that would benefit bold players at the margin. You would still have to plan your moves ...

Re: immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 c

1. This statement is wrong - in Risk, you can only cash at the beginning of your turn, or if you get 5 or more cards after an elimination. .

The 1959 rules (which is what I play) state that "A player who, on his turn, is able to take from the board the last remaining piece of an opponent ...

immediately turn in captured spoil sets of LESS THAN 5 cards

Concise description:

Whenever you eliminate another player and take their spoils, you should be allowed to turn in a set immediately, even if you only have 3 or 4 cards.

Specifics/Details:

Currently, when you take someone out, you can only turn in a set if you have 5 or more cards. This is ...

What about giving us the option to toggle the action keys off in the game settings menu?

Re: elminate action keys

You seem pretty sure that there are only a few users who play on a droid. I find that statistic dubious and surprising given that, as of yesterday, google has announced that there are now over 150,000,000 active droids worldwide...

elminate action keys

Delete the action keys. They may be good for use on a computer, but they ruin the game when playing on a droid as everytime you go to comment they kick in. The worst. For an example, I just accidently began my turn, failed to turn in a set, deployed 3 dudes on bogota, and ended my turn without ...
