Risk! Larger Custom Balanced Map! 2 - 6 Players!

Description
It's Risk with a more balanced map.

Risk in its standard form has some flaws, such as areas that are impossible to control (Asia) or areas that are too easy to control (Australia). This edit is intended for there to be some big changes to the map, so that players who play strategically are going to be able to control the board, through alliances or sheer force, while still allowing for a fun and relatively fast paced game, so that everyone can keep doing something.

This map was made by a Redditor who was seeking a more balanced game with friends.

I simply made the backs of the cards, as well as the fronts.

I have included a small space on the bottom left of the board for you to roll the dice in, so you don't disturb the game pieces.

It is set up with six different sets of bags on the left with different colored pieces for the players to use.

If you have questions, comments, suggestions, feel free to message me.

This map was started on a huge flawed premise, that being that Australia is too easy to control and Asia is too hard. Neither of these is correct.

Australia is only easy to control if no one contests it. Once two people are fighting over it, it becomes a huge headache, and not worth doing.

As far as Asia being too hard to control, even when you do NOT control 100% of Asia, you're getting a huge army boost. If you're going for 100% control of Asia instead of using your position to try to push into Australia - which will be weak if anyone at all is paying attention - or one of the other three continents that Asia borders.

By 'fixing' the board badly, and not helping players to become better, you're always going to be stuck with bad players, and you'll never really have a satisfying game. It's much better to teach the basics of strategy than gloss over bad play by hiding the symptoms.

Current issues as of 11:17 PM EST on 8/14/2014:

Lacks in game ruleset
Lacks Mongolia and Mali cards (Will make them tomorrow or by the end of the weekend.)
Occasionally the pieces in the bags will become decolored when being removed from the bag. Unsure if this is a TTS issue or not though.
