Angola recreates a brief portion of the violent, decades-long Angolan civil war that began in the 1970s with the fall of a colonial power and dragged its bloody way into the 21st century thanks in part to Cold War politics. It is a multi-player game in which sides control the various Soviet- and US-backed factions that vied for control of Angola from 1975 to 1976.

That great classic, which has already over 30 years, is still source of the great joy and fun for me. We will briefly look at its components today and briefly explain game theme and mechanics.

Enjoy!
