After Galipolli I think this one was needed, clear and easy! I just ordered, thank you

Twilight struggle light...I was thinking the same and then you said it. Im all in!

I'm not 100% sure if you were already playing it correctly but I believe you only get a bonus action if you land directly on 15 or 29-31.

Hey guys... I backed this game on KS the same day I saw it. I have a love for odd times and topics. Themes like The Russian Revolution and Civil War, and The Mexican Revolution aren't well remembered or thought of too much... so I'm interested in how they are translated into board games. Great review... keep up the great work.

You guys should try "Las Barracades" from Compass Games... Spanish Civil War, Tactical level combat, great production quality.

The box art remind me of an old Avalon Hill or 3M bookcase game.

Very solid review. That said,

This game offers the opportunity to fight on the Bolsheviks side, or the conservative socialists side? Well, It's apparent who's publishing these games, isn't it? Challenge: please find me a boardgame which permits me to cripple Bolshevism in its infancy, or even to defeat them in the Russian civil war (and please don't reference Triumph of Chaos). This game and others (ie Soviet Dawn) should include the option of fighting on the Czar side and/or anti socialists.

Thunder works is NOT a new company. They made the hit game Roll Player

Is the graphic design meant to be based on Soviet revolutionary art?

[adavis]

Interesting concepts. The board is a bit garish for me.

So with your long-standing appreciation of CDGs and your newfound love for the Russian revolution, I imagine we’re going to see a review of the just-released Triumph of Chaos 2nd edition in the coming weeks... Maybe?

All I needed to hear from Alexander was at 1:35

For god’s sake. When you talk about components show the components.
