Cuba Libre (4th Printing)

Cuba Libre transports 1-4 players into the Cuban Revolution. Castro's Marxist “26th of July Movement” must expand from its bases in the Sierra Maestra mountains to fight toward Havana. Meanwhile, anti-communist student groups, urban guerrillas, and former patriots try to destabilize the Batista regime. At the same time they try not to open the way for a new dictatorship under Castro. Batista's government must maintain momentum to face the dual insurgency. At the same time it must manage two patrons: its fragile American alliance and its corrupt union apparatus. And amid the turmoil, Meyer Lansky and the bosses of the Syndicate will fight to keep their gangster paradise in Cuba alive.

Cuba Libre will be easy for players of Andean Abyss to learn. It is the same COIN system. As with Volume I, Cuba Libre can be played equally solo or up to 4 players and with a shorter completion time than Andean Abyss. But the situation and strategic challenges of Cuba Libre will be new.

Cuba Libre provides up to 4 players with different roles and overlapping victory conditions for rich diplomatic interaction. For 2- or 3-player games, players can represent alliances of factions. Or the game system can control non-player factions. Or a single player as the Cuban Rebels can attempt to overthrow Batista and seize power for themselves. The non-player sides will fight one another as well as the players. However, excessive power in the hands of any of them will mean the player's defeat.
