About the game
What you do in a play session
Revolution! Anarchy is an expansion that takes the chaos and political strategy of Revolution! to a new level. With new bidding boards, a board overlay adding locations like the Garden Asylum and Jail, and two new sets of player components, you can now play with up to six people. The expansion introduces four new influential figures, each with unique abilities that can turn the tide: the Warden can throw enemies in jail, the Heretic can be blackmailed to control the asylum, the Governor influences any open space, and the Anarchist changes his effects every turn. The mechanics of simultaneous action selection, auctions, and area control remain central, but now with more deceit and negotiation. Get ready for a game full of intrigue, bluffing, and twists!
