The Generalissimo is Dead

Ciaran O'Sullivan, One Eyed Games

The Generalissimo has kept the country together with an iron fist since the revolution. Beloved by the people, feared by his enemies and respected the world over. Now, tragedy has struck and Il Generalissimo is dead! Only you are worthy to take his place and lead Yugenya on to glory.

Strongly inspired by the dark comedy Death of Stalin, The Generalissimo is Dead is a megagame of negotiation and power-politics, with some light mechanics and resource management. Players scheme, form cabals, and scrabble around desperately trying to work out who they can trust.
