Capital Risk is a variation of gameplay, which in almost all cases leads to a shorter game. All rules stay the same, except, when all initial troops have been placed on the board, each player nominates one of their territories as their 'Capital'. The first player to capture every other players capital, and have control of their own wins. This game mode exists in Risk II, however, in games that involve a larger number of players (eg 5-8), generally not all the capitals are needed to be captured, and only a majority of them.
