Kremlin: 4th Edition

Kremlin: 4th Edition is a darkly comic political strategy game of influence, survival, and bureaucratic backstabbing inside the Soviet power structure.

Product Type: Standalone political strategy board game.

Players secretly assign influence over members of the Politburo, then reveal that control only when it becomes useful. No one knows for certain who truly commands the Party Chief, the KGB, the Defense Minister, or the next ambitious official waiting for his turn at the top.

Each turn brings trials, investigations, promotions, demotions, illness, aging, exile, and the ever-important May Day Parade. A healthy Party Chief may wave proudly to the people; a sick one may fail to inspire confidence. The first faction to secure three successful waves can claim victory.

This 4th Edition includes three different ways to play: the classic fictional version, a more violent 1920s-inspired “Revolution” version, and a modern-era version with later Soviet and Russian political figures and new exile options.
