A asymmetrical exploration of the Budapest uprising from Brian Train. This is the second game dealing with the conflict.
The game is designed by Brian Train, best known for his work on GMT Games’ COIN series, including A Distant Plain and Colonial Twilight, and David Turczi, co-designer of the original Days of Ire: Budapest 1956 game, also known for Anachrony, Kitchen Rush, and many more.
Cards are illustrated by our returning artist Katalin Nimmerfroh, and packaged up with a beautiful cover illustrated by the amazing Kwanchai Moriya. The person responsible for the stunning graphical look is Zak Eidsvoog.
This game is a sequel to Days of Ire, which covers the first week of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, but it’s not the second game on the conflict.
I designed the first one ever, Operation Whirlwind, in 2000 and a few years later in 2006 Joe Miranda used the Modern Battles system to do a Budapest game in Strategy & Tactics (bundled with another small game on Angola).
