Popular Front
Players take control of political factions during the Spanish Civil War, contesting military positions and seeking political dominance over three years of conflict. Each player uses an identical 20-card deck of historical propaganda cards; hand management and card play determine combat outcomes more often than randomness. The map shows contested zones where units move and fight, while team-based play (2, 4, or 6 players split into two sides) emphasizes coordination and shared objectives. Games last about 90 minutes and require planning, bluffing, and cooperation to balance battlefield maneuvering with the timing and use of limited card resources.
