As the Red Army pushes toward the city center, players taking on the role of Hungarian insurgents have only minutes to scramble defenses. The setting is a classic “no‑win” scenario – victory is a myth, only resistance matters. To keep the revolution’s flame alive, you must manage cards, plan unit movements, and use movement points strategically. Each turn is a race against time: the Soviet machine marches relentlessly, and each new round forces you to decide whether to attack, retreat, or block critical points. The game blends hand‑management and dice‑rolling mechanics with the tactile recognizability of block pieces, delivering a strategic, tactile experience. It’s a solo or cooperative challenge where the only win is survival and the personal story you forge along the way. If you love deep tactical wargames with intense historical narratives, Nights of Fire offers an immersive, thrilling experience that tests your improvisation and strategy under pressure. ## FAQ ### How long does a game last?
