Unrest (2023)

About this game

No one can remember when the Empire’s regime began. People say it will never end, that resistance is impossible... but no one has ever prepared like the Rebellion. They have planned in secret, gathered intelligence, and sowed dissent in the Districts. However, the Empire has innumerable advantages and will confront the Rebellion with its full might. The revolution begins now. In Unrest, two players are pitted head-to-head in the asymmetric struggle for control over five City Districts. Can the Rebellion complete their missions and topple the regime? Or will the Empire continue their rule? —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
