In Red Russia, designer William “Defiant Russia” Sariego takes the popular game system from Soldier Kings to a decisive moment in history, when the “Red” faction emerged victorious over the Tsar’s domains. Players represent from two to five factions: the Reds (Communists), Allied Interventionists, Siberian Whites (monarchists), Southern Whites or Northern Whites. The game is played in turns representing a season of the year (three months). It begins with the summer turn of 1918, and ends with the conclusion of the spring 1921 turn. A full game without an Automatic Victory is thus 12 turns long. For two to four players, game play lasts from 3 to 4 hours.
