Heroiam Slava: The Russo-Ukrainian War
About
Play as Ukraine through the first 21 harrowing days of the 2022 Russian invasion. A solitaire board game; acquire as many victory points as you can by resisting the invasion and maintaining control of major cities and oblasts. Each turn Russian reinforcements arrive; choose where to focus your energy and fight back when you can. Events chosen from the real war back up each event and each card you can play. A bit of a simpler Twilight Struggle mixed with a little bit of Conflict. Light on the war theming; no explicit military units or conflict, very abstract.
A web version of the game is also available at www.adamhunter.net/Slava_Web/. It is optimized for desktops and laptops but might work on tablets or phones.
Early access, but complete and playable and (hopefully mostly) bug-free; I'm just fine tuning the game design.
If you donate here on itch.io, I ask that you donate to a Ukrainian or Ukraine-related cause.
The plan is to donate any and all funds made from the game (after taxes and fees) to a charity supporting humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
