'1979: Revolution in Iran' offers a national-level strategic wargame that spans decades of Iranian history. We'll be exploring everything from the events leading up to the controversial 1953 coup, through the Islamic Revolution, and the turbulent years in between. Whether you're championing the Coalition's push for nationalizing the oil industry and rallying against the Shah, or standing as the Royalist, fighting to keep the Shah in power and protect American and British oil interests, this game will challenge your strategic skills and historical knowledge.
As a card-driven wargame, '1979' incorporates a unique draft of event cards at the start of each turn, fueling an engaging and unpredictable game. Your resource - Factional Influence - will be the driving force behind triggering events, taking actions, and opposing those in power.
In the backdrop of our game is the complex and transformative history of Iran, where oil, politics, and power intertwined to ignite a revolution that would change the course of history. As the tension builds and the hidden scoring keeps everyone guessing, we'll discover who among us has what it takes to shape the destiny of a nation.
