About the game
It is additional playing material that is used when 3 biohazard stickers were pasted on the board. The package was in the Spielbox magazine 05/2011 (apparently German edition only), but also named on the rules card as "Essen Spiel 2011" giveaway. An English print-and-play version is available here in the the Downloads section. Card back mismatch does not affect gameplay. SPOILER ALERT! (don't continue reading if you don't want to know the content details) This small card expansion contains 5 soldiers for the draft cards. The soldiers work for all factions and will be played with the normal draft card rules.

Questions and answers
Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards supports 3–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards belongs to these categories: Wargame, Adventure, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Open Drafting. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards are: Rob Daviau and Chris Dupuis. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Risk Legacy: Bonus Cards as an expansion for Risk Legacy. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Risk Legacy to use it. Check that your edition of Risk Legacy is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
