To be honest expo cards solves caps pretty much. If your playing fixed caps on a map where’ it’s likely to end in a draw ex. Small maps. I think you did it to yourself imo.

or maybe play different settings/maps
or the game finds a way to reward "risk" in every occurence

[violet dagger]

Virtually every game has a draw option, it would be a great addition to Risk as well

[stone smelt]

Yea I don’t see it. Original risk had progressive cards to stop the need for a draw options. I’ve never seen a draw option on a board game besides chess (that I’ve played). This isn’t that.
I don’t see the benefit here. It’s great there’s different game modes and such but you can choose your own settings etc.

I would say there is no cercumstance I can think of when a draw would occur unless you were playing fixed caps. But even then I am not quite sure it could happen there either.

[cyan oasis]

it would solve 3 player stalemates where no one wants to be the first to attack

2 players can sometimes stalemate when both hold half of the board across a 1 point hold, even with prog/expo cards

[loud swallow]

if you can hold half the board with only one region that sounds like a map problem

[cyan oasis]

blizzards do that sometimes

Alcatraz and River Town Advanced have it even without blizzards

[edgy onyx]

Exactly. And who plays prog and doesn't know how to card block creep and keep getting trades while the other is stuck without cards. lol. Sounds like a skill problem.
