About the game
A New Day in Solitaire Gaming The SOVIET DAWN EXPANSION KIT brings players "another revolution" in solitaire gameplay with plenty of Optional Rules to help tell a more dramatic story with the Front Battles (decisive victories and defeats, and committing the "last battalion" to swing the outcome). Other Optional Rules include the use of the CHEKA and political recovery upon retaking Petrograd and Kiev. A dozen additional cards complete the storyboard (filling in the holes in the original card numbering sequence) and allow for a new variety of scenarios to be played, including the Historical Scenario where events occur in their actual sequence. Note, the SOVIET DAWN EXPANSION KIT is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of Soviet Dawn: The Russian Civil War, 1918-1921 to use this expansion kit. Game Components: > One instructions sheet with new Optional Rules and Scenarios > Twelve new Darkness and Dawn Event cards

Questions and answers
Soviet Dawn: Expansion Kit supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Soviet Dawn: Expansion Kit is 25 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Soviet Dawn: Expansion Kit for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Soviet Dawn: Expansion Kit has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
