Red Guard

Mapless counter game for up to 6 players on the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, 1966-69. Different factions within the Chinese Communist Party vie for control of important sites such as the Military Affair Committee or the Flying Pigeon Bicycle Factory, while trying not to plunge all of China into civil war and chaos. Meanwhile, Chairman Mao floats around the arena. Will your faction be ready to assume power when the Great Leader departs the workers paradise ? Or will you be able to exert your dominance even before the tragic event? 36 tiles create a map of important Chinese political, military and social sites. 1 sheet of 208 counters shows the forces involved, divided among Party cadres, Workers, Red Guard activists and People's Liberation Army units.
