Description

Liberté is a game of strategy and influence, set during the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799. Players take on the roles of factions vying for control, with the goal of scoring victory points by having the most influence in the government and opposition. The game is played over four turns, with each turn consisting of a variable number of rounds followed by an election to determine which faction becomes the government. As players navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, they must balance short-term gains with long-term planning. The game's unique mechanics, including area majority, auction, and hand management, add depth and complexity to the gameplay. With its rich historical setting and intricate gameplay, Liberté offers a challenging and engaging experience for 3 to 6 players, and its normal complexity makes it accessible to those familiar with board games.
