Description
Stalin gegen Trotzky is a fast-paced game for one or two players about the power struggle between Stalin and Trotsky in the early years of the Soviet Union, starting from when Lenin's health begins to deteriorate following a failed assassination attempt in 1918 and culminating in his death in 1924. Players take the roles of Stalin or Trotsky, playing cards from a shared display board (plus one hidden card each) to gain control of "areas" such as the NKVD, the Politburo, and personal access to Lenin. Cards can also be played for specific historical events, while new Region and Politician cards enter play each turn, benefiting the player who controlled that corresponding area in the previous turn.
Victory can be achieved in three different ways: control of the army, dominance of the party, or lasting fame after Lenin's death. Players must balance short-term advantages with long-term bonuses from regions and politicians, while ensuring the opponent cannot play the most advantageous cards for themselves: the result is a tense, back-and-forth game where every card counts.
Design by Matthias Cramer, development by Joe Dewhurst.
