Land and Freedom: An Anti-Fascist Board Game

Between 1936-39, the Spanish working class built the largest experiment in self-managed collectivization in a modern economy. At the same time, a well-trained Fascist military, armed and funded by Italy and Germany, waged war against the Spanish Republic, itself deeply divided along political and revolutionary lines. Can an anti-fascist alliance stand up to this kind of pressure without succumbing to internal distrust over competing agendas?

Land and Freedom: The Spanish Revolution and Civil War is a brand-new board game by designer Alex Knight that allows players to explore this history and the ongoing dilemma of fragile anti-fascist alliances. Alex will teach the game and copies will be available for play and purchase. Discussion of the pitfalls of anti-fascist alliances will follow.
