Cuba Libre Castros Insurgency

Following GMT Games’ Andean Abyss, the COIN Series' next installment, Cuba Libre, immerses 1 to 4 players in the Cuban Revolution. Castro’s Marxist '26 July Movement' expands from the Sierra Maestra mountains to reach Havana. Anti - communist student groups, urban guerrillas, and ex - patriots aim to destabilize the Batista regime without enabling a new Castro dictatorship. The Batista Government must counter the dual insurgency while managing its US alliance and the corrupt Syndicate. Amid the chaos, Meyer Lansky and his Syndicate bosses strive to preserve their Cuban gangster paradise. This reprint of the 2nd edition corrects known errata and adds a short scenario by Oerjan, which has received good feedback online, and an optional rule for seeding Prop cards late in campaigns to reduce chaos, similar to Volumes V and VI.

To play this game, first, decide on the number of players (1 to 4). Each player takes on a role - either Castro’s '26 July Movement', anti - communist groups, the Batista Government, or Meyer Lansky's Syndicate. The '26 July Movement' should start expanding from the Sierra Maestra mountains towards Havana. The anti - communist groups need to find ways to shake up the Batista regime carefully. The Batista Government has to keep an eye on both insurgencies and manage its relationships. The Syndicate tries to keep their paradise. When you reach the campaign part, you can choose to use the optional rule of seeding Prop cards to make the game less chaotic. As for maintenance, keep the game components in a dry place to avoid damage. Make sure to handle the cards gently to prevent them from getting bent or torn. When you're done playing, put all the pieces back in the box neatly for future use.
