Tsar Power

Vulnerable and afraid

Could you survive in Russia During the Reign of Tsar Nicholas II?

In this board game students role-play various personalities in Russia trying to cope with the reign of one of the last absolute monarchs in Europe, Tsar Nicholas II.[1] The game begins at the turn of the century and ends with the summary execution of the Tsar and his family in 1917. Whether a wealthy landowner or a poor peasant; whether a Cossack cavalryman or an Orthodox priest; whether a Jewish skilled craftsman or a socialist revolutionary; whether a lowly factory worker or his wife; or whether a government official or a military officer; Russians were vulnerable and had much to fear in the years leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917.
