About this game
Four factions fight for Cuba's future in the second COIN series volume: Batista's government, Castro's revolutionaries, the student Directorio, and crime Syndicate. Each faction wins differently through area control, popular support, casinos, or revolutionary cells. Card events drive the action, and the inter-faction dynamics create fascinating alliances. The smallest COIN map makes for a tighter, faster game than later entries. Bots allow solo and 2-player games. A political insurgency simulation with genuine factional asymmetry.
