1989: Dawn of Freedom*

The game simulates the end of the Cold War in 1989, marked by a series of democratic revolutions that dismantled Soviet control in Eastern Europe. One player represents the Communists, holding power over the Warsaw Pact nations but facing growing dissent and economic crises, while the other player embodies the Democrats, striving to foster a civil society and rally the workers to their cause against a powerful communist state. Strategy and adaptability are crucial as both sides navigate this tumultuous period.
