How Risk scores
Risk has no points system. In world-domination play you win by taking all 42 territories and eliminating everyone else, and in the secret-mission variants you win the instant your card's condition is met - nothing is ever added up. The numbers Risk players actually count are army income (territories divided by 3 with a floor of 3, plus continent bonuses and card trade-ins), and in league or tournament play whatever placement scoring the group agreed on beforehand.
The base game genuinely has no score
Classic Risk is an elimination game: play continues until one player holds every territory on the board, and there is no scoresheet, no victory points, and no ranking of the players knocked out along the way. Any scoring you keep for Risk is a layer your group adds on top - for a tournament, a league table, or a night with a hard finish time. Worth agreeing on it before the first reinforcement, because retrofitting a scoring rule to a half-finished game never ends well.
Army income is the number that matters
At the start of your turn you receive territories divided by 3, rounded down, with a minimum of 3 armies. On top of that you collect a bonus for each continent you hold completely: Asia 7, North America 5, Europe 5, Africa 3, South America 2, Australia 2. Australia and South America are cheap to hold and easy to defend, which is why almost every opening plan is built around one of them rather than around raw territory count.
Card trade-ins escalate, but not in every edition
A set is three cards showing the same symbol (infantry, cavalry, or artillery) or one of each. Standard modern rules escalate the payout: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 armies, then 5 more for every set after that, which makes the late game explosive and rewards being the player who trades in last. Some older and European editions use fixed set values instead, so settle which version you are using up front. Either way, if a card in the set shows a territory you occupy, you place 2 extra armies directly onto it.
Mission variants change the ending, not the maths
Secret Mission Risk deals each player a hidden objective - conquer two named continents, hold 18 territories with at least two armies on each, eliminate a specific colour - and you win the moment yours is complete. There is still nothing to total; the game just ends sooner and less bloodily. If your mission names a player who was eliminated by somebody else, the printed fallback is to hold 24 territories instead.
How groups actually score a Risk night
The common house conventions are placement points by elimination order (last player standing takes the most, first out takes the least), or a hard time cap after which players are ranked by territories held. Territory count at a cutoff is the most popular because it is unambiguous and visible to everyone at once, whereas counting armies rewards turtling. Continents held at the cutoff is a reasonable tiebreaker. None of these are official, so write the rule down before turn one.
