Another week and another new game, although the system was familiar.
I was the Communists trying to hold onto power in various Eastern European countries in 1989.
Unlike the Europe in Turmoil games this one loses a bit of momentum when you lose power in a country: once they have freedom there is no going back. A Power Struggle occurs before scoring and can be quiet volatile. If the Communists lose the struggle that's it for that country.
We stopped after the Communists lost power in all six countries, but with a better understanding of the rules we should have kept on playing, although I was under some misconceptions about a few things which had crimped my play plus I made one or two mistakes.
Will be interesting to play again.
