Description

Ukrainian Crisis is a gripping politico-military game that drops you into the midst of a real-world conflict, where you'll navigate the intricate dance of power and influence between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. As one of the two players, you'll take on the role of a government leader, making strategic decisions that will shape the course of events in the spring of 2014. The game starts with a pivotal moment - the departure of elected President Yanukovytch from Kyiv and the formation of a new government - and from there, you'll embark on a journey that could span several weeks to several months. With its unique blend of area majority, area movement, and campaign-driven mechanics, Ukrainian Crisis offers a thrilling experience that's both challenging and thought-provoking. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to board game enthusiasts, while its depth and nuance will keep you engaged for the full 60 minutes of playtime. As you vie for influence and control, you'll need to balance political and military might, all set against the backdrop of a hexagon grid that represents the conflict zone. Whether you're a fan of modern warfare, political intrigue, or just great game design, Ukrainian Crisis is sure to deliver a memorable and immersive experience.
