The Russian Civil War 1918-1921

A two-player card driven strategic board-game. Players assume the side of RED (communist forces) and WHITE (anti-communist forces) in a Russian Civil War. The epic conflict involved the toppling of the three hundred and four year Romanov dynasty, it's replacement by a totalitarian communist ideology, significant foreign intervention by major powers, independence and anarchist movements in various Russian republics and wars between Russia and it's neighbouring countries; a rich drama.

There are three phases to a game turn: Political, Action and Logistics Phase. During the Political Phase, each side utilizes a shared deck of 66 Political Cards to seize control of 18 separate factions (Astrakhan, Belarus, Central Powers, Czech Legion, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Latvia, Lithuania, Khiva, Maakhno, Poland, Transcaucasia, Turkistan, Ukraine, USA, West Ukraine). During the Action Phase, each player utilizes their respective deck of 55 Action Cards to activate units for movement and combat, implement events (receive reinforcements, cause mutinies, etc), generate replacements or strategically deploy units. An additional 44 Leader Cards reflect the major personalities engaged in the war. The Logistics Phase addresses attrition, rebuilding units and other odds and ends.
