Description

İttihat is a strategy board game that drops you into the midst of a power struggle between the Young Turks and Sultan Abdülhamid II in the late imperial era of Turkey. The Sultan has been ruling with an iron fist for 33 years, and he's not about to give up his power without a fight. He's created a vast spy network to keep tabs on potential threats, and he's got his eyes on the Young Turks, who are secretly plotting to dethrone him. In this game, you'll be one of 4 to 9 players, each with your own hidden agenda, navigating a complex web of alliances and rivalries. As you play, you'll take on the role of either a Unionist, a Spy, or the Sultan himself, each with your own goals and motivations. You'll bid for control of key provinces, some of which will give you a boost in military strength. But beware - the roles of the Unionists and Spies are hidden, so you'll have to build your strategy without knowing who's on your side and who's working against you. The game is easy to learn, but it's full of twists and turns, with multiple paths to victory. Will the Unionists succeed in staging a coup, or will the Sultan's spies help him maintain his grip on power? With a playtime of just 30 minutes, İttihat is a fast-paced and thrilling game that's perfect for groups of friends or family looking for a fun and challenging experience.
