RISK is a somewhat complicated game that can be broken down into its bare essentials pretty easily. Basically, you have territories. You want more. You attack other people to get more. If you do this well, you eventually rule the world. A slightly more involved explanation is available at Wikipedia, but I'm sticking to what we need to know for our purposes.
( The map of the world )
( Real world rules that could be useful for RP purposes )
( How we're playing it )
And that should cover everything. I know it's a lot of info, but it should translate pretty easily into the actual gameplay. Just keep most of the details somewhat handwavey so we don't get bogged down, remember to interact with people while the game is going on, and have some fun.
And if you want to try RISK out as a computer game, there's a pretty decent freeware version here for Java.
