Currently there is only "risk" which is the simultaneous risk varient.

How often to move?  The more, the better, but I'm implementing this game
with a 1 week deadline.  If you don't move within a week of the last
board being sent to you, you automatically submit a "no op" as your
move, and if it happens to be a deployment turn, you forfeit those
armies.
