Barbarians Attack! Loot and Plunder Edition is targeted at thrifty game shoppers who have a few games in their library that they don't mind subjecting to a little looting and plundering. This edition comes with a low price tag and eleven game boards. Everything else needed to play will have to be either printed, bought on this site, or borrowed from another game. To get you started, we've written up a quick guide:

The Barbarian's Attack Manual, Almanac, and Power Sheets are all free to download and print out. We suggest you print out four Power Sheets so each player can have his or her own copy.

Most of the unit pieces for the game can be found in a standard Risk set. Links to the Gamecrafter listing for each item follows the description so you can add them to your order if you want.

80 Warrior units in four different colors (20 of each color)
--Example: Risk soldiers (Joystick, Blue [www.thegamecrafter.com])
16 Island Defender units in the same four colors (4 of each color)
--Example: Risk horsemen (Peg Pawn, Blue [www.thegamecrafter.com])
8 Hero units in the same four colors (2 of each color)
--Example: Risk canons (Ring, White [www.thegamecrafter.com])
Plenty of six-sided dice
--Example: Risk dice (D6, 12mm, White [www.thegamecrafter.com])

Other colored markers needed by the game can be supplied by a copy of Settlers of Catan, though the colors might not match up perfectly with the Risk pieces.

15 Captives in the same four colors as the Warrior units
--Example: Catan roads (Poker Chip, Blue [www.thegamecrafter.com])
Colored marks in the same four colors
--Example: Catan houses and cities (Wink, Blue [www.thegamecrafter.com])

Players will also need a few generic tokens to mark their current traits and their progress on the Fame tracks. Any sort of counter can be used for Fame points, though Monopoly money works well.

The least-common item needed is a ten-sided die. (D10, Black [www.thegamecrafter.com])
