It is March 1917, and the Russian Empire is entering a whirlwind of change. The unpopular Tsar has just been overthrown. Power now belongs to the Provisional Government on one hand, and the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies on the other. How will the new political order confront the devastation of war and the economic crisis? What is the future for democracy in Russia?

Play as the Mensheviks, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Kadets, or Bolsheviks, and steer the revolution to victory or collapse.

Great game as someone who's studied this period it really captures what it was like and the position the terrible provisional government were in.

Supporting the party you are playing as for media and propaganda card does not cost 1 resource.

Tbh I Hope you could extend it up to Lenin's Death on 1924. this game is kinda too short but its hype

I hope that some day you can  play after the coup further

I am interested on how multiplayer will work, I think you can choose a faction and then your friend can choose the other ones

Awesome.

How do I stop the bolsheviks from attempting their coup?

I think it's inevitable idk

Seeking foreign loans as the Kadets during budget deficits does not work.

Huh????


"Internationalist bloc - Bolsheviks + Anarchists : 95.4%


Defensist bloc - Mensheviks + SRs : 0%


The internationalists have a plurality, and can thus choose leadership."
