Emboldened by these signs, students and intellectuals in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, organize a protest of previously unseen magnitudes. As the communist leadership sweeps in to kill the movement in its tracks a violent response is provoked, thus sparking the Revolution of the 23rd of October.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne player takes charge of the Soviet forces trying to shape the headlines to his liking and uses the militia and snipers of the State Protection Authority to stop the revolutionaries at all cost. The other player(s) (from 1-3 opponents) co-operatively play as the ringleaders of the revolutionary forces collecting resources (represented as icons on their cards) and recruiting other fighters to ensure the revolution's events end up in favor of their side, while fighting off tanks and soldiers in this exciting, historically inspired card driven game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays of Ire: Budapest 1956\u003c\/strong\u003e is played over seven days — the last week of October 1956. The Soviet commander plays headline cards at the beginning of every turn, gathering Command Points and triggering effects that sometimes help, sometimes hinder the revolutionary effort. This card-play, reminiscent of well-known card-driven wargames (CDG) such as Twilight Struggle or Labyrinth: War on Terror, is what drives the tempo and the strategic thrust of the game. The other player(s) form the revolutionary side. They collect cards and fighters for two reasons: to resolve events for boosts to their side, and to fight off militia, snipers, and Soviet tanks in a drastic fight for survival. They have to manage their positions while spreading across Budapest, carefully dividing their actions as a team and always keeping an eye on their morale lest they run out of cards. This team-playing aspect — reminiscent of highly successful cooperative games such as Pandemic — guarantees ease of access to players who would otherwise be more intimidated by a traditional CDG.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf any of the revolutionary ringleaders suffer too many wounds, or if they fail to resolve enough events by the end of the game, history changes and the revolution falls. But if they keep the streets of Budapest free from oppression, the revolution lives on, to fight another day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/u\u003e 1-4\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cu\u003eSuggested Ages:\u003c\/u\u003e 10 and up\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eLanguage(s):\u003c\/u\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/192802\/days-ire-budapest-1956\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to BGG.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/BGG_logo.jpg\" style=\"width: 60px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3_aJpUHgTMs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Link to Youtube.com\" src=\"https:\/\/meeplescorner.co.uk\/image\/data\/Radho_Logo.jpg\" style=\"width: 46px; height: 45px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Mr B Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52048692937053,"sku":"MIB1017","price":48.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/daysofire.jpg?v=1771320028"},{"product_id":"mint-works","title":"Mint Works","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMint Works\u003c\/strong\u003e is a light and straightforward worker placement game.
