Mighty Boards: Nights of Fire: Battle for Budapest - Card Driven Board Game,1956 Soviet Forces Vs Hungarian Revolutionaries, Ages 14+, 1-3 Players

NIGHTS OF FIRE: BATTLE FOR BUDAPEST - Following the Hungarian success in part one, this game starts as the Red Army arrives at the edge of the capital and pushes into the heart of the city, bent on retribution, destruction, and ruthless pursuit of control. For the players in charge of the Hungarian defense, there is no time left for organizing and sedition. This is a hopeless war of survival, plain and simple. After the successful uprising on October 23rd, 1956, freedom and peace seemed at hand. But the hard earned victory was not to last: on November 3rd 1956 the Soviets arrest the Hungarian delegation negotiating for the country's sovereignty and order their troops to push towards Budapest. During the early hours of the next morning the city wakes up to sounds of tank and artillery fire. The Soviet counter-attack, codenamed Operation Whirlwind, has begun. Combining card and action management mechanisms of modern euro games with the theme and feel of a classic block wargame, players can experience the rush of a true no-win scenario, and see how long they can keep the flame of the revolution going under the pressure of the unstoppable march of the Soviet military machine. One player plays as the Soviet force, advancing into Budapest as a powerful and unstoppable force, while 1-2 other plays play as the Hungarian Revolutionaries, slowing down the losing fight while evacuating civilians. Will the Revolutionaries be crushed, with an unquestioned Soviet triumph, or will the Soviet commander's reputation be forever tarnished for being held back by the meager Revolutionary force? Otherwise play the dedicated solo and cooperative modes where 1-2 players play against a clever Soviet AI force, both included in this box.
