Reverse World Map Guide#

Have you ever wondered what Earth would look like if the oceans were land and the landmasses were seas? That’s the premise of Reverse World, a strikingly creative map in Risk: Global Domination. Traditional “continents” (Asia, Europe) are now expansive seas, while “oceans” (Atlantic, Pacific) form massive landmasses. This inversion, large, and shifting portals call for a unique approach.

Summary: Explore how Reverse World plays in a Progressive tournament setting where unstable portals, no alliances, and blizzards create a brutal battlefield. The map’s large size and mirrored layout demand strategic spread, patience, and a keen eye for elimination timing.

This match shows how strong early positioning and careful avoidance of overextension can be the key to survival. Watch how a few players snowball during the card-trade chain reaction—and how just one misstep in lining up a kill can cost the game.
