I’m going to forgo explaining the basic rules of Risk (as it seems most people in the world have played it) and just talk about the differences between Risk and Risk 2210.

 FAQ for the board game Risk
Instead of Risk cards that are cashed in for extra armies, one gets cards that can be used to gain special abilities, such as bonuses on attacks or defense, ability to attack across water, etc. The attacker cannot roll more than 2 dice against a castle space.
In holding their Risk cards as well as your own, you become an inviting target for other players to destroy you (and a threat due to the cards you will have to cash in next go), especially if you have weakened yourself significantly in destroying the first player.
Risk pieces are used like coins, if a piece worth 5 loses 1 or 2 units, you need to switch for lower valued pieces like changing coins.

 [No title]
While an earlier, Napoleonic-era Risk game known as Castle Risk introduced some new toys (castles and a ship) and some cards (generals, spies etc.), Risk 2210 A.D. brings many new concepts to the classic game.
Risk 2210 A.D. is a faster-playing game than its predecessors.
This five-turn limit not only keeps the game short (two hours at most) and gives it a finite end (instead of fighting to the last unit or completing a mission as in the earlier Risk games), it also means that no player is likely to be eliminated.
