Description
Zar Nikolaus II revives the reign of Nicholas II, Russia's last tsar. Players find themselves at the center of his regime, advising and influencing him while competing to advance their faction's objectives. The game reconstructs the intertwining of public opinion, war, diplomacy, culture, domestic order, economy and the personal traits of tsarist leadership and the imperial family, exploring how autocratic regimes function with a realistic portrait of corruption, cult of personality, and the conditions that led to revolution.
The game begins with the ascension to the throne in 1894 and Russia's fate depends on player choices, which may follow historical facts or diverge into alternate courses. Each player controls a different faction within the tsarist regime—Dynasty, Autocracy, Pragmatism, or Reform—with multiple characters based on real historical figures. The game is primarily card-driven, with an event deck and a refined 'coded deck' of numbered cards that generate events at specific moments or in response to certain conditions. It can be played solo or multiplayer with 3-4 players, in semi-cooperative mode.
