Il Generalissimo is dead! How can the country go on? Who will lead the people?

Take up a role vying to come out on top as the glorious nation of Yugenya goes through its first succession crisis! The all-powerful leader is dead, but even in death, he casts a long shadow on the future of Yugenya!

The Generalissimo is Dead is a Megagame set in the chaos that follows the death of a strong, autocratic leader without any clear plan for succession. Most of the players in this game are Party Members of the People's Party of Yugenya - the only political party in the fictional nation of Yugenya. Party members are either members of the Central Committee - the Generalissimo’s Inner Circle - or one of the many departments that keep Yugenya functioning as a country. However, your position at the start is not set in stone. It is certainly possible to rise to the Inner Circle of the Committee, and it is possible for those in power to fall from grace.

On the geopolitical horizon, Yugenya is now on the frontline of an economic cold war between China and the West due to the discovery of large rare-earth metal mines - whose profits were used to fund the Generalissimo’s revolutionary guard, navy, air force, palace, generous gifts for his political allies, the new and even more secret police, and a host of other grandiose paranoia-or ego-driven projects. Perhaps now is a good time to reassess our spending priorities.
